Making a Morph..

I have a male Hypo-Nicaraguan Boa who's far from maturity, My question is what could I breed him with to get an amazing looking Boa ??? I already know that breeding with another Hypo gets me Super Hypos, but what else could produce awesome results, and what could they produce ???? My thoughts go to insulars, but not limited to them.. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.. :snake:

What kind of Boa could I pair w/ a Hypo-Nicaraguan Boa (male), to produce some great looking offspring ?? I know another Hypo-Nic would produce Super Hypos, but I wanted to see if anything else could be produced... :snake:

If you want to stay with just Nic locale it is limited. There is red bellies, it is really a poly-genetic trait as far as I know, but the increased red with the hypo gene rocks. Then type 2 anery, it is recessive though so you would only make hypo het T2 anerys ( dh T2 ghost) and het T2 anery.
If you want to stay in the general CA group of BCI then leopard, blood, T+, again these are all recessive though so you would be make hets and dhets.

Sorry, I'm new to this... Especially breeding talk, and terminology.. T2 ??? Double Het ??? T+ ???? Is a red belly in the Red Tail subspecies ??

Hey man sorry, didn't mean to loose ya.

It just takes some time.
Red belly is a trait found in many CA boas but fairly common in Nics and their insular counterparts from corn island. Its is poly-gentiec trait, like skin color in people. I had some ca cross that have the red belly trait. T2 was my own abbreviation for type 2.

Any way, here are a few good links to cover the basics.
