Re: Who can give good descriptions of BCI morphs?
Great descriptions. It's hard finding good info. I have a kahl sunglow het kahl stripe female. My question is what would best male pairing for little or no possibles. I have heard sunglow het stripe to sunglow het stripe can lead to more birth defects and stillborns. Also, are the lipstick boas a super sunglow? Or separate co dominant like coral? Also get confused on stripes. I read there are co Dom stripes but kahl stripe is recessive. Some motley seem striped and some jungles seem striped. Are they all different stripes?

Little or no possible what? hets?
You heard that breeding may cause more birth defects because albino x albino can lead to more defects (premature birth, missing or bad eyes, kinks). This was much more true in the 90s and it was because the albinos weren't as common and therefore there was more line/inbreeding happening. Now that they have been outcrossed with new blood over the years, it's not nearly as common as it used to be. I wouldn't really worry about it to much. espcailly if the ones you want to breed are not directly related.

No, lipsticks are not super sunglows. Lipstick is a line of kahl strain albinos that are known for producing strong red coloration. Just like coral is a line of kahl albinos known for producing boas with lots of pink and orange over the yellow.
Lipstick line was founded by Tom Burke. I'm sorry but I don't recall who founded the corals. Both lines are highly variable as they are line bred traits. If you breed two corals together or two lipstick line animals together, you are more likely to see those same traits show up in the babies. Also just because someone has a high color albino, does not mean it is one of those lines unless they have lineage info tracing it back.

Yes there are dom stripe lines and the kahl stripe which is recessive. There are also reverse stripe animals but as with the dom stripes, sometimes it is inheritable and sometimes it is simply normal pattern variation.
Motley and jungle morphs both mess with pattern (as well as color) and yes, do sometimes result in stripes. Motleys tend to throw stripey tails, jungles tend to throw chain link connected saddle patterns. They are not versions of stripe. It is just the normal variation of those morphs.
I hope that helps a little!
