Future breeding plans

johnboy400 Jun 04, 2011 05:40 PM

Right now my collection consists of 5 boas.......
'10 DH Sunglow Male
'09 Salmon Hypo Male PH Sharp Albino
'09 Motley Female 100% Het Albino
'09 Normal Female
'09 Ghost Female

The '09 Salmon Hypo male is ready to breed. He was born on May 16th 2009 and is every bit of 4 feet, if not a little longer. The first thing I want to do with him is try and prove him out for Sharp Albino. I would like to pick up an '09 or '08 Sharp Albino female within the next 6 months so even if he's not a het, I'll still produce 100% hets.
My Motley female 100% Het Albino is growing a little bit slower than the rest of my boas. Her time will come so I'm not trying to pound her with food. I bought the '10 DH Sunglow male just for her. They should be ready to breed around the same time. I've always wanted to produce Albino motleys and Sunglow motleys and hopefully this pair will do it.
My '09 Normal female will be ready probably a year from now. I plan to attempt to breed her early winter 2012. She is an amazing looking normal. Very clean and has a great pattern. I would breed either male I have right now to her in the future.
The '09 Ghost female is my most recent addition. She's not so big for an '09 but she's eating great for me already and I've only had her for a week and a half. I'm really excited for her to hit breeding maturity as I plan to get an Anery Motley male for her. Ghost motleys and Anery motleys in the same litter would be great. The Anery motley male would be a great addition to my collection. I could put him with any three of my current females and have an awesome litter with each pairing.
If I put him with my Normal female I would get some Anerys, some normals het
Anery, and motleys het Anery. If I put him with my Motley het Albino female I would get some motleys het Anery 50% het albino. However, the ghost female is the main reason for getting the Anery motley.
So I am very excited for my plans with my boas in the near future. I got goosebumps just writing this
