The pattern on the back, some of his saddles are connected and odd shaped from what I can see.

Thanks. Postal! So, with aberrant animals, their "not so usual" markings/colors are unique genetic traits, which can possibly be passed on to their offspring no matter what animal they are bred with, right?

I've never heard term/classification "aberrant " before. But I agree with Postal that some of the saddles stand out to me as being off the norm as well.
Nice looking animal. 
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Thanks, Reinz. I love this guy to death. I just wish he had some other genes in him. He was an impulse purchase. I still love him just the same, though. I'm probably going to get a Motley or Hypo/Motley girlfriend for him...

It's quite possible just not guaranteed. Boas are highly variable and aberrant patterns are usually random. Perfectly normal saddle parents can throw aberrant pattern babies and vice versa. Aberrant parents are more likely to have aberrant offspring but it's like any trait in boas - higher yellow boas are more likely to have higher yellow offspring, pink, pinched saddles, lateral striping, etc, all variables that are more likely to be passed on if the parents have the trait but not guaranteed. My high pink girl has keyhole saddles (larger saddles with a hole in the middle) and her babies tend to display this same trait to varying degrees.
The motley morph, as you probably know, usually turns the saddles into squares and tend to throw tail striping. Hypo tends to throw pinched saddles and can show aberrancies.

That is one beautiful boa! Love the striping down his neck.
