Abberant Pattern in boas? Where there is one shouldn't there be more?

DavidKendrick Dec 22, 2004 12:09 PM

I have this Anery Male that I picked up a few months ago, the guy I bought him from said that this was the only one out of the babies that had abnormal pattern, I was wondering if the reasoning for this abberant pattern is heat related, (maybe the mothers temp spiked or something) wouldn't there be more babies than just one come out abnormaly patterned? Or have any of you heard of such randomness? As all the babies come out normally patterned except one? I have heard there are no Anery Jungles out there!!!

that anery aberrant boa looks really nice. I was asking about anery jungles and never saw an answer.. I'm sure someone has jungles het for anery..?? hypo jungles can be produced one generation sooner if you have a super hypo.

Great looking boa though!!
thanks for posting

to my knowledge there arent any anery jungles out there yet. yes it ispossible that only one baby comeout abbarent when all the others show normal markings. was that animal sold to you as an anery jungle? was it sold to you for a large sum of money if so the fact that the guy told you it was the only abbarent one should have tipped youoff that it wasnt a jungle and as for needing a super hypo to produce hypo jungles the first time around patoquack, thats just not so. you can breed a plain ole f-1 hypo to a jungle and produce hypo jungles bot genes work and a co dominant (50% of the litter will show the traite) so you will get hypo jungles the first time around and a super is not needed

you are correct. I knew a hypo-jungle could be produced in one generation - I'm not sure why I was thinking a superhypo was needed.. mabye I was just thinking about producing a litter of ALL hypo jungles. That would be a nice deal.. eh?

yup but then you would need a super jungle as well

patoquack Dec 22, 2004 07:45 PM

do super jungles exist yet?

then, someday there could be super hypo jungles??

ChrisGilbert Dec 22, 2004 09:39 PM

Super Jungles DO exist! In fact the one pictured in the Boa Constrictor Manual is a super, as well, I believe the first Swedish "jungle" Pete Kahl brought over was actually a super. At the initial time the morph was relatively new and it was not known till later when it was discovered how the genes worked.

To all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Anyone wanna make some anery jungles? I have an adult anery female, if anyone has a jungle male to spare for a few months? 50/50 split? Or if you have a jungle female breeder, I should have my ghost male soon that should be ready to breed in within a few months.

First of all, nobody's gonna send you a jungle male for a few months cause God only knows what you're putting that male to. Not to say you're a dishonest person but thats just how it works unless it's your good buddy. Usually people send their females over to the owner of the desired male's house. Second,an adult anery female is only worth around $750-1500 depending on looks.With jungles being worth way more than that you're not gonna find someone thats gonna do a 50/50 split with the offspring. I'm just trying to help you out for the future so please don't take this the wrong way. Hope this helps.

P.S JUNGLE X ANERY = NORMALS HET ANERY AND JUNGLES HET ANERY SO YOU WON'T GET ANERY JUNGLES THE FIRST TIME AROUND.
