Actually I think the hypo gene in boas is a codom gene. There is a super form. The Super Hypo.

Yeah it is.

Check with Rico Walder of Signal Herp - he had one similar to this on his site for years - it's called snow cone or lemon ice or some designer name......

True, ture. Rico has one offspring from the animal in question which looks to be green now. We did a breeding loan. It would be fantastic if that was a het for the condition. We'll see in time I'm sure.

Have you tried to breed any the snow cone's offspring back to it?

I believe there is only one surviving offspring, and it may not even be a male.

It is the case that only one offspring from Snow Cone exisits. Rico has that animal. I'm not sure if it is a male to breed back into my female.

I only know of one other female green tree python which had a similar condition to Snow Cone at initial color change. That snake went through the same initial lack of color at color change apearing very light and ghost like. After bred once that snake turned blue. This snake is named Dream and has many offspring out there.

oh wow I had no idea Dream looked anything like yours at any point in time, that's pretty darn interesting..

The morelia color change is such an interesting event, I'm actually kind of surprised we don't see more visual mutations associated with whatever genes control it..
