    Mystery Boa? Meet Lady Vashj!

    Well, I thought I was good with just two snakes.
    And I was lying to myself.
    I found this pretty girl at a local shop I like.
    The guy they got it from had no clue what it was and the shop guys specialize in Ball Pythons and Tegus/monitors so they honestly don't know either.
    I'm pretty sure she's a BCC from her batman saddles.


    So meet Lady Vashj, or Vashj for short.
    As you can tell from the pictures she's an absolute doll and is a nice 5 foot gentle girl.

    But the morph I'm lost on.
    For some reason she looks like a sharp albino maybe het anery or maybe she's even a sharp snow.

    Can anyone help me find out what this beautiful girl is?
    She looks exactly like bluemenBoas male Sharp albino.

    She's in a 4x2x1 for right now since she's under 6 feet. seems like she was either in a smaller enclosure or liked to curl up do to her scales. She seems to have a little bit of nose rub but she'll be fine. She seems to enjoy her jumbo hide and she loves to move her waterbowl. Temps are 88-89 hotspot and 79 cold. Ambient of around 78-80 degrees. 55% humidity on the hot side(need another waterdish for her to soak anyways) and 77% on the hot side.

    Congrats on your new Boa!

    The pics aren't working for me though.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Very nice looking Boa.

    My initial thoughts are the same as yours. But without information from the breeder there is no answer that will 100% confirm.

    Hoping on more pics as she grows.

    Yup and sadly we don't know who the breeder was as well.
    The only way is of course get a male paradigm to sire for both dams and see if she proves to be sharp.
    Or get a male Sharp Snow. Because Why not lol.

    Either way she's a beautiful and docile snake.
    I'd love her if she was Kahl or Sharp or whatever she really is lol.

    BCC don't come in albino, unless she's a cross, and that's rather frowned on in the boa world.

    I would guess Kahl albino BCI.

    I forgot that you mention BC, I agree with BCR, highly doubtful about being a BC.

    Really? I had no idea. She seems to have pronounced 'spikes' on her white/lavender saddles.
    Kahl's normally aren't high white like she is right? Or is it just because boa's are so polymorphic that she could be a high qualty/high white Kahl?

    They can be. I would be hesitant to breed her given all of the albino strains out there; if you get it wrong then you have a litter of 100% het (known strain from the sire) 100% het unknown, which will be a tough sell.

    I guess she'll just be my pretty girl and not be bred. It doesn't bother me what type of albino she is since she's absolutely gorgeous and a sweetie pie.
    I'll stick with getting a male paradigm in the future for my female paradigm.
    Or a sharp snow male. If I decide to breed at all that is. lol.
