Ginger boas?

Does anyone know anything about these, their origin, who produced them and so on just picked a pair up in a trade and was wondering what if anything they are.
Thanks for any info

Hi,
The line was originated by AJ and Trey Schneller here in North Carolina from an unusual boa they picked up in a pet store. They bred them to orange-tail hypos and produced some incredibly aberrant boas, exhibiting almost jungle like patterns. Recently, both Trey and AJ decided to give snakes a break for a while and I took over their collections. As a result I now have the main Ginger line boas in my collection. This past season I produced Ginger line EBV pastel orange tail hypos, which are incredible, and this season I am hoping to produce the first ginger orange-tail to ginger orange-tail litters. I have two females breeding right now.

Post some pictures. Also, who did you get them from? I will be able to advise you on whether or not they are what they are said to be.

Yes, in 2007 I picked up a pair of Orangetail hypo Gingers from AJ Schneller. The 2010 babies that she is talking about is from a result of breeding my male to a normal female. This year I am putting Gingers into the Sharp Albino for a future Ginger Paradime project. And next year into the VPI T Plus, for VPI T Plus Gingers. Thank You Jim " Jimboa"

Here are some examples. I did not take these pictures. These are pictures by the lines originators, AJ and Trey Schneller.

And some low expression non orange-tail hypos:

I will post some updated pictures soon. I will also keep people posted as to the ginger to ginger breedings that are happening this season.
