    Dominant boa morphs
    Hey guys I was wondering what dominant boa morphs there are .
    I'm going to the expo and am going to pick up a male, but I want a dominant gened one. (Something that would make visual babies if I ever deside to breed)
    I'm not saying I am. I'm just thinking ahead ad want a dominant morph,
    What are some? I've heard motley and jungle so far.
    Thanks guys!

    I don't have many boas however I do have a few, one of them is a Motley boa which is a codominant mutation. The heterozygous snakes have a striped look and the homozygous are almost a solid color. Also hypomelanistic is dominant I believe with the heterozygous and the homozygous looking pretty much the same.

    I ended up picking up a nice looking het coral albino male.
    He will be my new little man (: breeding isn't a big rush for me, I picked what I felt was right, not what I thought would get me money, so I brought home Whiskey (:
    He is a little skittish but he will fit on to the family (:

    Here are the ones I can remember right off the top of my head:

    Jungle
    Motley
    Arabesque
    Hypomelanism
    Nova
    Aztec
    Key West
    Marron
    Raptor

    There are more and some of what I listed are actually co-dominant. Also, some of these you won't find at your local reptile expo and are quite expensive. Here is a genetics calculator - should help you determine what is dominant and what isn't and what you can produce in breeding trials.
