Pretty confident the female is gravid at this time so I figured hey why not jinx the whole project by posting some pics.
Not sure what exactly is going on with this t-positive appearing morph but will hopefully get some answers in the next couple of months.
The male T-pos (pictured breeding his mother) was first displayed at the NARBC show in Anaheim in 2010. He is strikingly different from any other t-positive lines out
there exhibiting a pronounced greenish tint over an amber background. Truly breathtaking in person, but way beyond my ability to capture in a photo. The male T-pos
was produced by Chuck Gibbs in a 2009 litter to a pair of “unrelated” double het snows. This original pair was acquired at different times from different parts of
the country. The 2009 litter produced albinos, normals,
and T-positive appearing albinos. All have been held back.
A few progression shots are shown below.
With all the trauma and drama of the never ending legislative battles designed to wear down our hobby, it dawned on me today how nice it is to feel excited again about a cool boa project. Thanks for looking.

interesting animal. im going to keep a close eye on this project...

Very Kool this totally reminds me in this adult version of the dark caramel color on many Hog Island Boas
mainly the rings around the tail blotches show it most plainly but on many all over their body.

This is really something how light his body base color is nice
very nice . . . . . . good luck with your results !

As reasonably established without actually doing the initial breedings myself there is no hogg blood in either parent.(and certainly nothing visually indicative) Both were represented as double het snows (which have proven out). The original female came from scott seavey in 2004 and the male sire from a pet store in phoenix in 2005. Hopefully i will be posting litter shots around the middle of may.

I understand I didn't mean to imply there was Hog Isle influence. I have a long running theory that some Hog Isle Boas are some type of T Pos maybe not traditional but they're certain ones that have that dark caramel color in place of the jet black.

Back to your Breeding's it's by the base color that your has something "T" plus that male as a baby baby appears to have blueish colored eyes.

That is like the Siamese cats they're a form of Albino ( maybe T Pos can't remember)but they have Blue Eyes ( Iris ) although I'm not certain about pupil color.

Good luck your breedings with this interesting new Gene !

So anyway good shoul;d be exciting to watch it work out and produce babies !

I'd be a little surprised if it does turn out recessive, but hopefully it will. I get similar appearing somewhat T-positiv looking babies from my lines. I just had a litter yesterday from a "smoke(hypoerythristic)" Mayan bred to a project (false-anery type) Nicaraguan that has some amazingly light colored offspring in it considering they're 75% Nicaraguan(1/8th Hog Island, only on the sire's side) that I'm sure will look T-positive. I'll post pics once they've shed.
