    do you tell the traits of your BP? ive been thinking of breeding in the FAR future, and i was jw. also, is it the same for a boa. i imagine the only of knowing would be a blood test...

    Well, genetic testing has been discussed for bp's but isn't really available. At this point, you pretty much have to go on appearances and the breeder's word/documentation.
    3.1.1 BP (Snyder, Hanover, Bo Peep, Sir NAITF, Eve), 1.2.3 Rhacodactylus ciliatus (Sandiego, Carmen, Scooby, Camo, BABIES ), 1.0 Chow (Buddha), 0.2 cats (Jezebel, PCBH "Nanners"), 0.3 humans

    I think that breeding for certain traits in morphs that are recessive, dominant, co-dominant, etc, is different from breeding normals for certain "normal" traits, which I think that you are referring to. It is my understanding that normal breeding is completely random, and normals carry all kinds of genes; so you could breed 2 really gold BPs and get nothing but greens and blacks just as likely as you'd get nothing but golden schemed babies. With normals, its basically all up in the air.
