Calico female in complet shed, opinions wanted PLEASE

Bill Parks Feb 29, 2004 10:28 AM

Hi, This is a female calico i bought last year. She is about three and a half feet long now, and i was told when she was born, she was a normal looking baby, and what you see in the pic gradually started to develop. She has constistantly gotten more and more white, pink, and purple flecking after every shed. Her tail has even changed colors. She is in complete shed in the pic, but i think you can tell what im talking about. I was wondering if anyone else has worked with animals like these, and have pics of them as adults. Thanks. Bill

I know that Brendon has one for sale. If I am correct.........He got his male from Pete Kalh.

Here's the link.

Check out available boas and you'll find it.

Hmmm....very interesting. I have a import Venezuelan Boa that is undergoing same changes but instead of those colors the caliconess coming in is black and white. Real weird stuff. Crazy Looking snake man!

I have an adult female that has done the same thing with the coloration. But getting an accurate picture right now isnt going to work because she's gravid ( bred to a hypo male ) and pretty dark. I didnt think of her as anything but a nice looking normal though.
