Hope this works photo wise. But my friend and I got into an arguement about this snake. He thinks it might be a leopard Boa but I am not convinced. What do you folks think?

The animal is a Het Albino Het Stripe Red Tail Boa.

Thanks

Definitely not a Leopard.Here is a pic of a Leopard.

in any way shape or form.

It's still a very nice looking boa and exceptionaly dark. It should produce some colorful albinos. Put that thing with a het. coral albino or het. pastel albino.

P.S. Leopard boas are only bred by a small group of people. None of them would let a Leopard boa het. albino go without paying a hefty price (I think close to 10k).

Just another pic of a leopard boa so you can compare.

got to snap a pic of this little guy at the pomona show back in '02 or '03

The leopard gene IS co-dom isnt it?? I didnt think it was recessive but ???

He looked at the snake pictured. He saw a very dark animal which makes the pattern very distorted and thought he could pawn it off as a Leopard. He may even be able to if he has no ethics or morals. You can see the saddles on the B.C.I. you have pictured. Leopards do not have saddles. Problem solved. Keep your friend in line.

The animal pictured is mine and in no way was my friend trying to pawn it off as one. It is indeed a dark Double Het and he was just curious I assure you. I mearly posted to get others view point. I hope to use him to get some Albinos this year. I haven't seen any other animals that look like him so I guess the questionable morph thing holds true.
