congrats
i think you forgot one that sunglow bottom left.

LarM May 14, 2011 03:09 PM

Congratulations the babies will all be possible het Albino.

In the case of a recessive Het to Het breeding each non Homozygous baby
has a 2 out of 3 chance of being het Albino.

So they are all labeled as 66% possible hets.

Sweet litter! congrats!

I am the first one to admit I am not a Boa Guy...I like the Ball Pythons but have three Boas..the Mother and Father of these babies and a Albino Female that will be ready next year that I am told by several she was ready this year.
First pic the Albino's and Sunglows?
Second Pic...some of my favorite ones that are not Albino... Love the funky patterns on the Hypo's in the pic and the others.

BTW...Boaphile...I never would have produced these without your article from Nov. 1996 "Revelations of THE BOAPHILE" article that I have read several times and used as my main source.

better pics would help, but it looks like 4 sunglows your finger is pointing at 1 and the 3 above.

dan80woma May 16, 2011 10:27 PM

looks like 5 sunglows to me, and 1 albino.

lairofdragons May 17, 2011 12:33 PM

So what I should be looking for is the white ring around the tail spots to indicate albino according to the research I have been doing. Is that the easiest way to tell?

Once I learned what to look for it was easy to see..

Looks like I ended up with:

6 Sunglows
1 Albino
10 Hypos 66 Het Albino
12 normals 66 Het Albino
and a lot have a very abernant pattern..

Thank you all for your help and you comments..I truly appreciate it.
