THERE IS 100% HET OR 66% HET AND 50% POSSIBLE HET 100% IS PRODUCED WHEN A VISUAL RECESSIVE IS PRODUCED TO A NORMAL MAKEING ALL THE BABIES 100% HET FOR THAT VISUAL RECESSIVE . WHEN YOU TAKE 100% HETS FOR THE VISUAL RECESSIVE AND BREED THEM TOGETHER WHAT EVER ANIMALS DONT SHOW THE VISUAL ARE ALL 66% POSIBLE HET MEANING 2OUT OF EVERY THREE BABIES ARE HETS BUT SEEING AS YOU DONT KNOW WHICH IS WHICH THEY ALL HAVE A 66% CHANCE OF BEING HET. 50% IS WHEN YOU BREED A HET TO A NORMAL 50% OF THOSE BABIES WILL BE HET BUT ONCE AGAIN SEEING AS YOU WONT KNOW WHICH ARE WHICH THEY ALL HAVE A 50% CHANCE TO BE HETS. NOW AS FOR WHAT YOU SEE IN THAT BOA I DONT KNOW? WHILE IT IS A GREAT LOOKING BOA I SEE A NORMAL LOOKING SNAKE THAT COULD BE HET FOR ALBINO NOTHING MORE . MAYBE YOU CAN EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS YOU THINK YOU SEE?

although he's been on this forum a while he just recently started posting pics and is excited to share them with us.

as far as the "possible" 100% het, your right...it was probably just a slip up on his part...happens to the best of us

maybee he thought his boa, being so dark, might be anery...i also think its just a nice dark normal boa but its better that he adresses his thought here as opposed to calling that snake an anery het snow and selling his babies accordingly.

you probably werent being hard on him at all but since you typed in cap locks...it looked like you were yelling HAHAH

aight guys take care, nick

I'M SURE YOU DID'NT MEAN THE CAPS IN A BAD WAY. THATS HOW I WRITE ALL MY E-MAILS OR RESPAONCES. I'M JUST TO LAZY TO HIT CAP LOCKS OR SHIFT ALL THE TIME. PLUS I'M NOT THE FASTEST TYPER SO IT GOES ALOT QUICKER. ANYWAYS, YOU EXPLAINED IT HOW IT IS AND I'M SURE YOU HELPED THE GUY OUT AND THATS WHAT WERE HERE FOR.

I put the word possibility in the wrong spot,Sorry,It is very exciting to finally post some pics on here!He was sold to me by mickey at the lizard king reptiles,Mickey said he thought he was a 100% het but could not guarentee it,so I threw in the possiblity of him being a 100% het for albino,hopefully I worded it correctly this time an thanks to all for the kind words about carmello!Thanks [Hypoboa]

In theory there is a 100% possible het. Bare with me guys.

The animal is a possible het. As such its 100% possible that that animal is possible a het....lol.

As was stated the animal in question is a poss het. Actually its highly likely the animal is a 100% het, as I had a large group of poss het and 100% hets get mixed up last season, and all were sold as poss hets. Thats where the confusion started most likely.

As for the boa being anything special, beyond the fact that all our boas are special in their own way, no that animal isnt anything super special. It is very black, but as explained prior its my opinion that is the result of either a cross to increase the black or just a very peppered adult columbian. As with alot of other breeders, Im sure Jeremy is trying to add as much black into the albino gene as possible (black is orange after all correct?).

Glad you were able to get a camera and some shots, and boy has that bad boy grown, keep up the good work.

I would definetely look at incorporating him into a snow project in the future.. I really like the extremely dark saddles he has.. His tail reminds me of Daveyfigs huge het albino females (His look like giant type 2 anerys)

Yes I agree, No need to be rude on the post, I know he is excited to get to post his snake pictures. The Albino Het is beautiful and I am not all that sure that it is not an Anery, i would love to see a tail pic of him. Either way his bold black marking are cool
