First generation backcross...

Rainshadow Jun 12, 2005 07:06 AM

I'm not sure if there is an appropriate filial connotation for this type of breeding? The father was produced by breeding an exceptional "Orangetail" hypo to an F2 Harlequin,(from my brothers 02 breeding.)I raised him up & bred him to two of his "aunts" this year...even though he looks like the product of hypo X hypo breeding,there's zero chance of this being a "super".(hypo) I have four distinctly different bloodlines of "hypos" that I'm using for the Harlequin breedings,this one is easily my favorite.

Rainshadow, do you have pics of the original parents that started this whole thing? And some pics of the very first generation babies?!?! I would LOVE to see them.

Thanks for sharing these lil bad asses

The original F1's I bred back in 96'(produced for me in spring of 97') were very normal looking Colombian boas,non-aberrant,& only slightly better than what I consider to be average in the color dept...I really had no reason whatsoever to think I'd end up with anything other than a batch of nice cb. babies to sell to the local pet stores...(at that time I was breeding higher end(for those days anyway!) colubrids,small pythons etc... and,felt I needed some lower end stuff I could sell locally.)I'll sift through some of the old pics to find some of the F2's from that first litter,that I've used to produce everything to date. thanks for the compliments!

Picture of the "normal" posted above...this gives a good example of how they begin to change with age. This is the first one like this that's been produced from this line,and,will no doubt throw everyone a curve as to what typifies expression in "Harlequins"!(just wait til she starts to age a bit!!!)
