Well sometimes you hit and sometimes you miss. We have a pair of Orangetail Hypo siblings that came from Dr Hardy's Matriarch Orangetail Hypo female in 2000. This sibling pair shared a similar reverse type striping. We had made Het Sharp Albinos with her in the past and it was killing us to know if the striping was genetic. This season we bred the sibling pair together to find out, and with no luck it was not. We did get a perfect healthy litter of 15 F2 CA's. I am sure a few of these females will come in handy for the various CA projects down the road! It is amazing the color and pattern variances you can get from Central American litters.

I think there are more pattern and color traits out there in the Boas very similar to Ball Pythons, it is just going to take us looking a little closer and a little longer time testing it out with breeding trials.

Thanks for looking!

I want the one with the ladder tail.
Baker's Boas

That smell would get around the room! *lol* sorry the inverse striping didn't prove out for ya,but congrats on a great,healthy litter!

Sorry to hear about the lack of reverse strip... thats sucks something awful... She looks like a nice big girl and Im sure you will have some other projects lined up for her in the near future... keep us up to date with all the new litters and I'm sure we will see you soon... NARBC is just around the corner...

Sincerely,

get some great tails in that bunch. Regardless of whether they proved or not, you still have a great nack for breeding those boas! I do hope to one day have half the sucess in the next five years that you have in half a season!

... Even though the inverse stripe did not prove out. Maybe both parents are genetically homozygous for the trait, with it being recessive, but it is located on different alleles so the babies didn't show, but they might all be double hets for two different inverse forms. Or then again, maybe they are just beautiful, and abberrantly patterned, but nothing genetic to it.

Ya never know!

Lovely critters, regardless! Some sahweet looking tails in the bunch anyways. Congrats again...

I suppose that is one you will be keeping?
