Wanna help me ID this? Lol

[StupidZombie]

Okay, so im not too big on boas, although i own two.

my male is a simple normal RTB. he sits at 5 feet or so.
However, i acquired another, a hatchling, RTB, and shes beautiful. i HAD to have her.
She's a pig, never misses a meal, sheds beautifully, she's just a beauty. Her name is Esmee, though Rose was a name i did consider, but whilst she hasn't dulled with any of her sheds or changed colors at all, I have a feeling shes gonna darken with age, so I didnt want to name her Rose and have people be like >> What a girly thing to name her. Noooo i named her such because she was bright pink when i bought her << but to avoid such a conversation, i named her Esmee. my beautiful girly girl... lol

anyway, the actual breeder was not present at the sale, his 'partner' who specializes in ball pythons had her in his shop when i just so happened to walk in. I took one look at her and fell in love. I had to take her home. So, whilst i wait for the guy who sold her to me to finally get back, though this was a month ago, i have given up on waiting for him to give me the breeders details .-. i dont even know if shes a hypo or not 8D
wanna help? Lol

these are two pictures i got two weeks after bringing her home. i can definitely get more recent ones if you need them, but she looks the same even after her shed.



Yup, that's my Esmee <3

i really really really love RTBs and their mustaches. They're adorable.

very pretty hypo!

Definitely a hypo! They get better with age, too! May I ask what you paid? Looks like she might be jungle as well, hard to tell from those photos though, and I'm not an expert when it comes to IDing jungle combos.

Looks like a very "clean" looking Boa .... Is that what the Hypo does to them ??

[AbsoluteApril]

Hypo is a reduction in black, it's codom in boas

Ahh ...


What makes some Boas clean looking and many others grubby and speckled ???

[AbsoluteApril]

You can get a wide range of 'normal' boas in one litter, some with lots of speckles, some with low or none, some with lots underlying color, some without. Breeding boas with the traits you want (whatever that may be, let's say clean/low speckles) to others that are the same, increases the chance the offspring will show those types of traits but there's no guarantee. Boas are highly variable. I hope that helps a little

edit to add - in this case, the hypo, which reduces black pigment, usually results in the hypo babies having low speckles/being clean and more color since it's not masked by gray/black.

My first thought is Hypo Jungle. Sure is pretty!

To Marissa, she was 100 before taxes so in total i spent $108 and some change. Definitely worth it in my opinion, regardless of what she may be, shes gorgeous and i adore her lol. Her pink around her mouth seems to be brighter when i looked at her this morning. I think recent pictures in the sun should definitely bring out her colors for yall to see.

I was asking because that could help figure out if she was jungle lol definitely a very nice hypo, and for a great price too!
