This is an 03 female, bred by Dan Eby at BestOfAllSnakes. She's got some killer reds. To think I sold the mother of this snake 4 years ago to Dan for $75... because I didn't keep BCI. The trait is, at the least co-dom as the mother was bred to a wild morph and produced 50% of this quality. The female he kept from that litter is awesome, very light and very orange. I had sold it to Mike last season and have been kicking myself ever since. Luckily he's got plenty of reptile needs and he let me have it back.
What do you think?

Her body is fairly dark, hidding all this red but her head is killer. He's is breeding her to a Boa Basement hypo this season.. I can't wait! Any comments?
Thanks-

I have read this whole thread, and wouldn't even have noticed if there wasnt already an arguement, but it looks like the reddest part of the boa is under some sort of red light. If you look at the first pic, you can see that the substrate is glowing red, as is the snake's head's shadow. Im not saying its not a pretty snake, cause the part that isn't in the red is still nice, but red lighting doesn't make a morph.

Thats a very weak argument and have you looked at all the pics because except for 2 they are of the same female with two different cameras in two different locations.........I took mine in the grassy knoll .......we will see about all of this next year and see if we know what we are talking about.Oh by the way thas my wifes hand holding the boa so no more red light remarks or ...........well you know what I am saying

the picture of the one thats not in red light (yours) looks like an average bci! the one matt took looks like a extreamly nice colored normal bci your makeing our argiument for us heres one of my normals with the same amount as red as yours if not more and its taken out side guess what its for sale so maybe u wanna buy it so you can name your own morph like matt?

and with this have a nice day and night.....

imo yes , they are some really nice "NORMALS" .. im not lookin to bash anyone and dont want any drama , but yes they are normal.. i have some redder snakes that are normal as well.. not hypos , not scarlets nothing but really nice reddish normals with more color than those.. but what i have noticed for example in the classifides is that alot of people are advertising certain snakes as things they arent.. maybe he was led to believe thses snakes are scarletts ? i dunno i didnt read all the drama in this thread . lol .. but if they were sold to him as scarletts then yes , he was had .. but hey it happens to everyone... i just got burned lately as well on some hypos ..and i feel like a dumbass .. im not gonna give out this persons name or business name on here cause im gonna give em the chance to make things right with me.. but whatever..
i think people could say they have or are selling whatever they want.. IMO its our job to educate "OURSELVES" about certain morphs or species so we dont get burned . i blame myself for getting screwed on this deal .. but like i said , imma give him a chance 2 make it right.. if not then im not gonna come on here and trash him but when im asked about what i think of that business and person ill just tell em what they did to me .. case closed.. people know me as a str8 up person with a great attitude and rep .. so i know they will listen to my advice and warnings ..
all im sayin is .. before you advertise something as such or buy something as such . do your research soooo neither of the 2 parties get burned.. and if someone just comes on here and posts his own personal snakes as something they are not , just ignore the thread.. thats worse than bashing someone . if you just ignore the thread completely they will know something is wrong.. lol .. imo .. those are some great lookin boas.. but def not scarletts ... those are the pretty boas you find in the classifides for around $150 to $200 .. jmho .. great lookin animals tho !!
