    Need help with ID please

    Hi,

    Im going to buy three wodden terrariums from a dude that also happens to breed boas. When asked about locality he did not know. He said his babies was a mix of "het 66% striped". I am not quite into what that means really.. I did receive three pictures though. A bit unsharp, but I hope some of you out there can help me out? His adults are 1,9m and a few years old (obviously).

    He means that they are 66% Heterozygous for Stripe ( morph )

    Meaning they have a sixty six percent chance of being a "het".

    When a het is bred to another het ( preferably as unrelated as you can get) They have the possibility of producing striped babies.

    They also have a chance of NOT being het, and just 100% plane jane normal animals. you would have to breed them to prove them out.

    The pictures wouldn't load up for me. Sorry I can't help ya, but the 66% het stripe is summed up nicely above. Just don't know what the 'mix' means.
