I have four of these boas all looking very similar to each other. All of them have extreme reverse striped tails and very small odd shaped saddles. The fifth on has a solid striped tail and the same kind of saddles. They are all siblings. I did not produce these. I got them from a guy at a reptile show. He had produced them and said that most of the babies looked very similar to each other.
Just wanted some opinions from all of you experts out ther

I personally love the abherant patterned Boas, I enjoyed working with my Co-Dom striped boas and I like seeing the other pattern morphs on it. This is what I would reccomend to you. before you go carzy breeding it to different color morphs, I would outbreed it to more colorful normal colored boas, such as Jeff Ronne's Pastel Dream line. The males will be ready to breed a year or so before the females anyway, so use that time to breed the males to a nice colorful female to bring better color into the line. That way, you can breed one of the younger more colorful males to the original females when they are of age to prove out the line as well as already having it out bred, no of course during that time you can also breed one of the males to an albino or hypo to start you color morphs with the patterns. It should breed out to be some kind of pattern morph.
Good Luck
