yeah she's dark
i got her mother also
she's dark but not as dark as this one.
don't have any pics of her yet
i just got the group this week
.3 het-alb adults
.2 het anery adults
and that little black girl

Well if your running out of cage space, or have one het anery too many, shoot me an Email. I have an adult male het for Albino, and poss het for anery, I'd love too find out if he's DH or not.

boatload of color underneath that melanin. Then again... there could be none. Its a gamble.

Sort of the opposite of "pastelism" (as defined by Jeff Ronne). Which is to reduce melanin, revealing color allowing to better selectively breed the boas with the best color, in turn to make the most colorful albinos.

Awesome boa regardless.

thanks for the awesome answer!
