Saw this RTB in a pet shop, thoughts?
I was doing some price comparisons for UTH's at a Petco (I know, I know, the big evil chain pet stores! lol) and whenever I'm there I like to look at the snakes they have. They had two baby RTB's who looked rather healthy (one looked very plump and happy, the other looked a little skinny but nothing some good consecutive feedings probably couldn't cure).
The bigger one looked almost exactly like my big girl, but the little one looked way different. Could s/he be a morph?? Anyone got some thoughts on this one? (sorry for the picture quality, all I had was my phone camera.)

Not too sure...
I just started getting into Boa's but that's definitely a cool looking one. I'm sure its just a "odd" pattern. I've seen some Boa's at my petco that had some really interesting ones as well. Never seen one with such light brown on the saddles. Cool find whatever it is.

What caught my eye is the fact that the tail was the color similar to Sunglows, yet the rest of him/her is obviously not the right color. I've read that some RTB's are het. for morphs, but does it show like that? Or would you not b e able to tell if a RTB is het. for a trait unless the breeder told you or you dinked around with it?

From the looks of the color and reduced saddles it looks to me like a hypo. Thats just my thoughts

I think you're right, I Googled them and I found a baby that looks an awful lot like s/he did.

I saw a picture of a Super Salmon and thought s/he might be a Salmon, but the body color was too light... Still, I think it's a cool find! I've never seen pet shops carrying any morph of a snake.

Looks hypo but jungle umm? Could be a low expression or aby?? So hard to tell without knowing some kind of lineage, and outdoor pics help out a bunch in determining different morphs and what not too. If the price was right I'd snag it up and grow it up to see how it turns out

Jungle is a weird thing.. Not all boas with wonky saddles are jungles, and not all jungles have wonky saddles! I think it at least is a hypo though!
