Hello all, this male is a brother to the females that I posted in the previous post...
He is not a Salmon boa as the others, but he is a normal...well you know what I mean...lol...
Anyway...his scales are turning white all over....
He always did look like he got caught in some genetic turbulance before he was formed...lol

He is a very healthy male, and growing beautifully...
His scales are showing more and more white all the time...I am wondering if anyone else has seen this before and what were the results...?

Thanks and enjoy the pics...Andy

Sorry Andy I wish I could offer some info,just I personally havent seen that before.I will tell you what I would do.I would keep him and by way of selective breeding shoot for a solid white Boa down the road.A true Snow Boa (instead of yellow)now that would be something.BTW awesome litter he came from.Later!JOHN

The good news is that i've seen that happen mostly on quality hypos and ghost boas....

the bead news, it may spread to you too, so better send him to me right away!!!
I have some females that have been asking about him

How old is he anyway?

Take care Andy, Joe
