Albino Recessive
The Albino Boa is a recessive trait which gives the boa a lack of melanin and causes the boa to not produce any black pigment in the skin. The offspring from this litter are normal in appearance, but are heterozygous for the gene.
Anerythristic Recessive
The Anerythristic (anery) boa is a recessive trait which gives the boa a lack of erythrin causing the boa not to produce any red pigment. This is an opposite of the albino boa and sometimes refereed to as the black boa. The offspring from this litter are normal in appearance, but are heterozygous for the gene.
Hypomelanism Co-Dominant
Hypomelanism (hypo) is a co-dominant trait where the boa lacks black pigment and in many cases brings in a more vibrant red, orange, and/or brown. This boa will is born with nearly no black scaling but still caries the black pigment. This boa also has a pattern morph giving the boa smaller saddles on the back and much more aberrant triangles along the sides.
Sunglow albino x hypo
The Sunglow is a dual morph combination that is heterozygous for hypo and homozygous for albino. This boa is very similar looking to the albion boa but the hypo trait gives it a much more vibrant reds and pinks hinting at the name sunglow.
In order to produce this boa you would need to cross a hypo-het albion with an albino or het albino.
In order to produce this boa you would need to cross a hypo-het albion with an albino or het albino.
Ghost anery x hypo
The Ghost boa is another dual-morph combination that is heterozygous for hypo and homozygous for anery. This boa has a washed out look because the crossing of the anery and hypo genes. This is beautiful because of the color patterns grays, and silvers.
Snow albino x anery
The Snow boa is a result of the combination of two recessive traits (albino and anery). The snow boa is whiter than the albino boa and lacks all red pigment, replacing it with a silvery shade of white. When crossing the albion and anery boas you will produce offspring that look normal but are heterozygous for both recessive traits. These offspring are usually called double hets or double heterozygous for snow.
Moonglow albion x anery x hypo
This is one of the more rare snakes on the market as only an small number have been produced. The moonglow is a triple morph combination that is heterozygous for hypo, homozygous for anery and homozygous for albino. This is the whitest boa to date. The moonglow is similar to the snow boa except for where the snow boa has a white pattern this boa is almost transparent or lavender. This animal was produced by crossing a Triple het (hypo x het albino x het anery) to a snow (albino x anery)
Jungle Co-Dominant
The Jungle Boa is Co-dominant trait that started in Sweden. Many people have a hard time telling the Jungle gene apart from a normal Pastel Boa. The Jungle is a Color and pattern mutation, and that is why many have a hard time with some of the less aberrant jungles. Some Jungles have strong pattern aberrancies, while some just have the color difference. This is where the confusion begins. The sure way to make sure you are getting the right gene is to make sure you are dealing with a reputable breeder that can trace his lineage to the true Jungle line.
