    Riddle me this...

    I got some pics of the birth parents of my Boa, judging my the pics would it be possible to figure out what they are?









    This is Punisher, my snake, in 04 as a baby



    And him now, yes his tail is short. From what I was told by the previous owner is that he had a bad shed that constricted blood flow on his tail and it had to be amputated. It was when he was very young.

    Re: Riddle me this...

    The first pic of the parents is a nice clean looking boa that could easily pass as a Pastel. Knowing that your boa came from EBV originally, I would say from their "Red Group" line. The second parent is a toss up. Very clean, but not a lot of colors. Neither is a Salmon/Hypo. I would say your little guy is of Pastel bloodlines. It's a shame about his poor tail. How did the previous owner manage to do that?

    What is the red group line? When the pics were sent to me that is the name on all of them, including the much darker one in the tub

    Re: Riddle me this...

    their "Red Line " If I'm not istaken came from the deep tail color in s line of boas they were producing and they also had striking markings from what I saw.. I could be wrong.. correct me if I am.. and male boas don't get too large any how.. the females get larger.

    Re: Riddle me this...

    I was right then? They are from the "red group"? Wow, lucky guess! lol. They are just a Pastel that EBV has "fine tuned" to produce intense reds throughout the snake's body. Nice looking Pastel line. SalmonBoa works with a few of them. I don't think they are smaller or larger than any other boas though. Maybe he's just a runt, lol. Didn't you say he was on only mice when you got him? Or was that someone else? Diet can really play a part with boas, if they are not fed large enough meals they can be "stunted" but with horrible side effects if done for too long.

    So is it called a Red Pastel or something?
