got the itch

For a snow boa....



help me.....




...:oops:

If you have the money, scratch that itch...:)

Do they all turn that light yellow color as they age... so much, that I might as well get an albino?

They have a yellow/white cast to them, really unreal looking in person....much much different than a "regular albino".

I remember talking to Jimi about this over IMs one day...the quality of the parents effect the clearness and whiteness of a snow, but yes, you should see the "boa pattern" in the white. The darker yellow or muddier the color or pattern, the less quality the coloration/patterning of the parents...

I think anyway...it's been a while. Boa experts, please correct me if I'm wrong. =D

I'm trying to make an excuse for not wanting one... and Ralph had this drop dead gorgeous girl on his web site. I believe a young one. Sterling white, blue grey hues.... just unflukenbelievable.

Then I was cruising at Jeremy's sight, and he has what appears to be an adult snow with a yellow cast to her.

I know many snakes do yellow out... and if it is something to do with selective breeding... I'm going to have to do some very selective shopping.

Scratch it ;)

Nummy...I've always thought snow boas were the prettiest "all white" snake because you have that faint boa pattern...=)

I love the pattern on them, and I have no interest in breeding boas whatsoever. So me and the BF are figuring might as well buy what we want right off the bat. :)

boas make great companion animals :)

Oooooooo!!! So pretty!!

Ugggg!! I have been wanting a boa so badly and ever since I saw that really pretty yellow one on one of the episodes of snakebytes I have been wanting one of those. The snows look awesome too!! :)

One question... How big do the snows get, or does it just depend upon what locality??

No, they aren't. But there are many different species of boas that have proven albinos and anerys, so logically, you could get a snow boa from any locality that has both morphs proven. =)

Man.... now I can't stop thinking about a moonglow....I don't know anyone that has any that I can afford :rainon:

so far the only true albino's are found in 'colombians' and mutts. So no, your typical snow (Tyrosinase negative, the standard yellow and white albino) wouldn't be in any locale unless you don't have pure lines and the breeder mixed species or locales.

Now if you're talking T+ snows then sure.

check out her white eyes.
