Hahaha.

Talk about a change.

Either one of the first two would be a good HPOM shot.

WOW!!! He is AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing. More pics?

He looks awsome D!!! ***cough*** I saw some last week locally that are really nice! THAT nice... FEMALE???!!! I was gonna tell you Sat!:P AND some albino babes! GREAT PRICES! true story...

That Hypo sure does have a lot of underlying color...:eek:
He would make some spectacular, top notch Sunglows!

You heard em'!!! MAKE SUM SUN GLOWS!!!!!!!!! Oh yea... :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:

Yeah, too bad he's not het for albino... :P

And Laura I'd love a hypo female but I haven't even paid off my Pastel ball yet...

Very pretty hypo boa, all those island boas have a dark and light phase. sometimes when I look at the hoggs at night when they are light colored, it just blows me away. ;)

I would pair him with a nice Coral, Stripeline or Red line Albino female and make those smoking Hypos Het Albinos that would produce those knockout Sunglows.

Thanks for the advice, although I don't know the appearance or genetics on any of those mutations... Do you know of a good website to find all of the boa morphs?

Also, what size Boaphile cages do you like to use for your adult boas? And what kind of heating?

Thanks :)

Try this one:
http://www.classreptilia.com/boa_morphs.htm
It should give you a base on boa morphs.

We use Boaphile 421D's (4X2) for our adult females and Iris tubs (3ft X 20") for our adult males. We use Flexwatt Heat tape to heat the cages and tubs controlled by Helix thermostats.

WOWWWZA ! That "purple" is AWSOME!:O

Thanks for the info, those were the cages that I have been most interested in, but wasn't sure which route to go for heating. One more question, what kind of paper is it that you are using as bedding?

Also, are the terms hypo and salmon interchangeable? Boa morphs have me a bit confused at the moment, I haven't looked into them extensively yet.

The paper is Kraft Indented Paper which we buy in rolls from www.uline.com . It's the same thing as the "disposable cage liners" you'll find on KS, but at a fraction of the cost.

Awesome, thanks for the link. Is the indented paper more absorbant than the flat?

Not sure if you saw this one: "Also, are the terms hypo and salmon interchangeable? Boa morphs have me a bit confused at the moment, I haven't looked into them extensively yet."

Not sure if it's more absorbant, but it is absorbant.

Sorry, I didn't see that one. Most people do use Hypo and/or Salmon the same. Salmons are Rich Isle's line of Hypos I guess you could say, which IMO do have their own look.

Thanks for the clarification. Can you describe this look compared to a hypo of another line?

Salmons in some cases can be separated from Hypos, most Salmons also hold their color as they age Vs some Hypos that muddy up.

So as far as breeding is concerned, Salmon would be the way to go if you want clean snakes that hold their color? Kind of compareable to pastel balls?

There are Hypos that hold color very well, don't look at morphs as a whole, but analyze the individuals. You have real nice Hypo Pastels, Orange lines, selective breeding, etc.
