Well to make it short and simple the Jungle boas, different lineage(Europe, American, imported) all have wacked out back stripes, really neet variations of the gene has been produced but generally all the pattern changes occur on the back where the saddles are usually located.
The Tiger Boas are a codominant gene which causes side striping or reverse striping, normally the tail pattern stays in tact and where the saddles go they are missing and in those areas the side striping occurs. True Tiger boas when bred to true Tiger Boas will produce Super tiger Boas, completely saddless boas with side stripes from head to tail.
