Hi i was actually thinking of purchasing a female bci dh for sunglow for 1200 us dollars next weekend, but before i do i wanted to be clear on the genetics.I plan on breeding this female to an albino male some time in the next year or two i was just curious what exactly are the probable offspring, thanks in advance!

how old is the female if you plan on breeding her in possibly a year?

If this is a baby DH sunglow you're talking about, DO NOT breed it at 2 years of age! Boas are not colubrids. It takes a female boa 4 years to get to a safe breeding age/weight. (3 minimum, but even then, they have not reached full adulthood, and you can seriously screw them up).

You would CLEAN up if you bought that snake and got it to reproduce with an albino! With that clutch alone, you could fund almost ANY boa project you wanted (Motleys, Jungles, Arabesques, Ghosts, etc etc).

Go for it!

Yea, that would be a pretty profitable litter, ecpecially if you hold them all back for a year and sell them for double the price. Why can't I have an uncle with cheap boa morphs? Definately buy her, 1200 for a 2 year old female dh sunglow, can't go wrong with that. You'll only make about 30x what you paid for her in about 2 years. Thats a pretty good turn around. Take care.

Yeah it is a good deal not only is he gonna sell me the dh suglow female for cheap hes gonna let me use his albino male for stud.He just wants pic of the litter which is fine with me i mean heck how can i say no!Im just lucky enough to have some one else in my family that loves herps as much as me, and besides that i could never find a deal like this anywhere else.Gotta love the relatives lol.
