Just curious, my mind started wondering at work, and I started thinking of morphs, like anery arabesques, T positive snows, T positive sunglows, There are so many. I can't wait to see what some of you guys produce in the next few years. Good luck to all expecting babies in the near future.

I know of a few breeders working with Salmontine X T positive Argentine breedings. You would have to ask Tracy Barker about the T positive Colombian projects, I know she is breeding a Colombian Motley into it this year. Then there are Nicaraguan T plus. Jeremy Stone, and Tom Burke are combineing this mutation with Type II Anery, Leopard, and eventually Blood morphs, I would imagine hypos (Nicaraguan) as well.

Then the SUPER T Pos. Motley....then the T pos. Sunglow Super Motley, and then...LOL, we still have lots of projects left in the boa world. We can't let the ball keepers have all the fun! Take care

Just listing some current projects. We have the Ball Pythons beat!

I just replied, it dissapeared. Any way there are Salmontine X Argentine T plus, and I think it is underway with pur Nicaraguans as well. I had more before.

That's how i've heard them referred to thus far..

I hope to make these in BCO by next year, and i'm sure John Mack, Pete Kahl and Jeremy Stone will do the same..

I bet Alex (w/the CA SuperMotley) will also do this with the CA's, as will Stone, Kahl and Burke.

take care, Joe

I thought the name sunburst was already taken by Steve Hammond. I saw him selling sunburst arabesques earlier this year.

Just curious.

Hi Matt,
I've heard sunburst applied to a T Sunglow long before I heard or saw Steve using the name.. that's just my observation..

I think it is used in other morphs too... sand boas, if i'm not mistaken?

Anyway, although I think Steve's 'Sunburst Arabesque's' are beautiful, I don't think the term sunburst really 'fits', and I would think it should be used for a seperate color morph, not for a different look to an existing morph...
to me, that's like calling a het albino a het albino, then the albino something else, or a super salmon or super motley something else... just doesn't seem to be the best fitting or sounding, in my opinion...

then again that's just me... lol

later -Joe

I emailed Steve about the Sunburst Arabesques a while back. I believe he combined the Arabesque with a trait he called Sunburst (I would guess a form of pastel) and the result was the Sunburst Arabesque. They are a lot lighter and more colorful, void of speckling. I tried to attach a picture I will see if it works. Hammond produced these before 2000, so they have been in his collection for a while, he just recently sold the first one ever to leave his facility.
