this is daddy! he is a lot more red in person and his sides are much brighter silver and pink.

I don't even know what to say. Those are simply amazing. Major congratulations!

I guess you have a ressesive mutation on your hands now, and sitting on a golden egg. Not to mention those babies look HUGE!

If I had to guess, I would say codominant not recessive. My guess is the first one popped out as a fluke, kind of like the first super motley which was from a motley to normal breeding. It will probably take one more breeding to prove this though. I would breed the father to an unrelated normal and bet half the offspring come out this way.

That would have to be tested. A homozygous to a het yeilds half the homozygous trait.

ALSO, At least one other was produced by the parents of the original. He posted before saying that each litter they had, there was 1 patternless. In small litters of het to het, this may be all you get.

Need to breed "normals" from this litter together to find out if they are hets, and the patternless to unrelated normal to see if you get anything.

Looks recessive though.

I agree that it needs to be proven. It was just my suspicion.

"These are from the pink patternless baby from 3 years ago being bred back to the mom"

That to me would be a "poss het" to homozygous, with 1/2 of the babies being homozygous... the chances of this being just a fluke are like 20,000,000 to 1, I have my money in simple recessive...

Great job!!!!!!!!!

Big Congratz!!! These boas are really amazing. Its fantastic that we have a new boa morph. Its on my wish list from now. I quess it will be co-dom... or recesive. Doesnt matter. They are GREAT and thats the only important thing!!!

What a way to start out the BOA YEAR!!!! That is one of the hottest boas I have seen in a LONG TIME. Jeremy Stone

Those are insane man!! Send one my way!! Congrats!! Andy

Huge Congrats, now thats a project!

...

They look like one of those bald people that have just the little ring of hair left on the side of thier head! I love it they are unreal!

i think that these guys are recessive, this is what we got;
frist litter, 1 in 17 is pink patternless, 2 babys are high pink normal, this is from two normal appearing parents
second litter, 1 in 25 pink patternless, 3 babys high pink normals, same parents
3rd litter, 8 normals, 7 pink patternless, and 16 slugs, i think this is because the male is very young and this is his first time mating. same female, pink patternless male
We are definatly planning on outbreeding as much as possible, I want to prove what these guys are for sure! Yeah i havent slept all week beacuse she just looked like she was going to pop! the babys were born at 2 am yesterday, so i finally can get some sleep.

Getting sleep now, that is??? LOL, I'd be getting out of bed to make sure they're all okay for atleast the first week or two!!! So, do you have an "official" name for these guys yet? Congrats again, take care!

Paul

Just curious it looks similar I always wondered what happened to that amazing snake.

They are mini Mochs but not produced from the Mocha that I got from Cal Zoo many years ago....The Mocha is not doing well and has not been a healthy snake since she was first obtained. After several breeding attempts we suspected that her health made is difficult for her to reproduce.

these guys are not related to any other morph as far as I know. The parents were not bought as anything special.

normal looking parents? That's the rewards of breeding boa's. I'll start saving my money NOW.

Congrats on some smokin baby boas, those things are just mind blowing. Just another snake to add to my want list.

That is FANTASTIC! I am THRILLED to see another super COOL boa morph! We certainly can't have too many of them! Congrtulations...it must be a great feeling to know that all your hard work has paid off! Now I need to get some of those babies..................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
