I saw them in Daytona. Celia Chein bought one from them, she has pictures of the display on exoticsbynature.com under this year's show pictures. I do not know the contact information for the breeders, but Celia could answer your questions.

The mutation is either dominant or co-dominant, I do not believe a Super has been created yet to determine the answer.

Hello Rich,

Aztec Boas are a colombian morph that has been proven to be dominant. They have a crazy pattern that is difficult to describe. The pattern is choatic yet symmetrical in appearance. Aztec Boas also seem to have an increased amount of pink/red coloration that intensifies as they grow.

This morph was originated by Bob and Andrew Potts. They will hopefully be able to prove out if this morph is co-dominant or not this coming season. They will be doing an Aztec x Aztec breeding and we are all keeping our fingers crossed for a (visually different looking) Super form.

We were lucky enough to get an Aztec Boa from Bob and Andrew this year and hope to breed him next year. This guy is just stunning and just growing like a weed. I'm very excited to see what is in store for the Aztec future...Hypo/Salmon Aztecs, Albino Aztecs, etc. just to name a few!

Here are some photos of ours...

Thanks,
Celia
