Hypererythristic or blood boas.

As far as I know this is a naturally occurring simple recessive mutation of the Nicaraguan boa.

Thanks for looking.

Consider my name on that wait list!

If you peruse VPI (http://www.vpi.com) you will see blood boas, pewter boas and some other very nice things. Dave and Tracy Barker are forerunners in the breeding business. :)

I have looked at their site it is too bad they do not mention how the genetics of the bloods and pewters work.

Did they breed the blood to a type 2 anery make double hets and then breed the double hets together to make the pewters.

A pewter is the double recessive combination of the blood and anery genes in one snake. Just like pewter corns.

I am 90% sure the bloods are recessive and I know type 2 anerys are recessive.

I guess Dave and Tracy do not like to give out too much info.

I have 1.3 bloods and 2.1 type 2 anerys now so I hope to find out in the not so distant future.
