I am going to post the earliest photos I have of the parents and great grand parents of this pair. I aquired both pairs of grand parents in 2000' and all four were unrelated. Below is the first photos I have of the grandparents on the Sire's side. The first photo (purchase photo) is the great grand father which is a Dyer male I got from Jordan Russel. The 2nd photo (purchase photo) is the great grandmother who I got from Adam Borisk (sp?) and I named "Mega Peaks". She was the one and only Mega Peaks.

Below is the first photo of the great grand parents on the Dam's side. I took it shortly after I aquired the litter picks from two of Bob Futo's litters in 2000'. These were from his two clean bloodlines. The white larger one was the male and was born earlier than the female.

Below are photos of the Dam & Sire. The first photo is of the Sire just after birth. I produced this litter in 2005. He is in the lower right. There were many Q-Tip widows peaks in this litter. The 2nd photo is of the Dam and her sister only hours old. The Dam is the one with her head on the left. The Q-Tip widows peaks came from both unrelated sides of the family. I have seen them show up very rarely in other Surinam and Guyana litters that I or others have produced but not as extreme as these. I raised both the Sire and Dam up to adults and sold them in the fall of 2009 to William Frye. He put them together winter/spring of 2010 and produced a litter and then and 2nd litter in 2012 which is where this pair came from. This pair has maybe some of the longest widows peaks but one from 2010 and one from 2012 had more radical Q-Tip peaks.

The Dam was from my first boaconstictor litter ever in 2004 and the only litter I got from "Mega Peaks".

Sorry, this was the Sire's side.

Sorry, this was the Dam's side.

A model of successful selective breeding

The saddles obviously look great, but the body color is very
nice as well.

Now were talking boas mike!Love these animals!They look to have some nice pink handed down from momma mega!Tails both look red from daddy!But i wonder who passed down the huge peak genes?Ha ha..Im getting a room full of this blood!Parents plus 6 holdbacks makes these about 80% of my collection.No hurry to breed them, but still none are for sale.Just love having them and caring for them.They are very pampered here!Big clean cages with fresh water always and the feed high quality food on a good schedule.Only breed everyother year.Id for sure buy that mega pair all over again,with out a doubt!If i couldnt breed them ever or get a return id still keep them all.Good pictures of mine coming in the summer!lol.Anybody want the best bang for buck BCC from a very honest guy then look no further im here ,no im joking, contact big daddy peak farmer mike eckert.Id trust the guy to have a key to my house and care for animals while i was on vacation.And i never even meet him!

Thanks Skip. I have received a lot of nice compliments from a lot of nice people over the years but yours may rank at the top especially because you mention trust. You have proven that I sold those animals to the right person. Not only have you kept them alive but you have cared for them well and reproducing them not once but twice is a testament to that. The worst thing about breeding is that one can not keep them all and they may not be appreciated and taken care of properly.
