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.

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.

I would guess Kahl albino BCI.
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.

thank you!
And I'm glad I picked her up either way, she's just a doll.
