Hi Richard,
I have always considered the sq.tails a dominant type expression, or maybe the term is co-dom. I really don't think of them as het at all, but I know others have used that term. What I have seen passed on as dominant from breeding some of the boas from the original import is; that red color, a super clean look, a blue/grey eye color, the white line at tail, a green iridescence at tail, dorsal pattern (not the connecting aspect, but the holes in saddles and the color of saddles) and a very gentle nature.
What I have not seen as dominant is the blocky pattern of tail (the sq.tail), and the full connecting pattern. You can produce a few that lean toward those traits, but they never seem as strong as with the original breeder boa.
These are just my observations from breeding them and would love to hear from those that have breed second generation sq.tails to report what those offspring my have carried forward.
Thanks,
John
