These are the results of breeding my Salmon 100% het for albino male to a type 2 anery female.

These are Salmon DH for type 2 anery 50% possible het for albino (blizzard). Try saying that 3 times in a row. LOL

The females

By combining the type 2 anery gene with the albino the aim is to get a blizzard boa which is different than a snow. The snow boas which are produced from type 1 or columbian anerys get yellow with age. This is due to the columbian anery still having yellow pigment but no red. The type 2 anerys lack red pigment as well as yellow and actually get blacker with age. These traits when combined with the albino gene will make a boa that stays snow white throughout its life a blizzard. Jeremy Stone made Double hets about 3 years ago by breeding an albino male to a type 2 anery female he then bred the double hets together and is now waiting for the results of that cross to hopefully produce the first blizzard boa this season.

I threw in the salmon gene just for fun now its a long wait until I see if I can pick the right 2 that actually carrry all three genes.

Theoretically if I do breed the right 2 together down the road I could produce up to 8 different color morphs in one litter.

DAN:

Amazing, as we discussed on this, these are amazing boas to try a new project and the blizzard boa is a new and up coming morph that will be in demand just like the new boa bloodlines that are showing up in the USA.

Your lucky to be a few steps away to produce them, jealous I am - you always have great boas.

Keep me posted on them.

I would love to have a blizzard boa! The hets you have produced are awesome! Hope you have some blizzard hets in there. Now how do you choose which ones to keep?

As far as I know so far its in the creation, with Dan and Jeremy and maybe a few others. Nothing yet but maybe Jeremy will show something this year.
