I can testify that with corallus ruschenbergerii that is not the case either. Last year I bred a female with 2 very different males (1 strong patterned one and 1 solid yellow one) and the litter was 7 orange babies (they will turn yellow) and 2 patterned ones. It is more than obvious that both males are present in the litter, the pic shows just how obvious this can be!!!

Love the orange, Have you ever seen solid black tree boas?

Last year a solid black ATB was born at a breeders facility in the US but has since changed a little it's coloration. I'm sure there are some solid black ones somewhere in the forest...

Great Corallus you have there, Are you going to Daytona this year?

Thanks Ricardo, no, no Daytona this year either, we have referendum the 15th so I have to stay to vote. Hopefully I make it next year...
