ANYONE:

Just recently saw a for sale post at the "not sure I can say other forum" - queensnake.

The advertisement is from Germany selling MOHAWK boas, what is said so far is the litter consisted of a few look-a-like Motleys and Salmons. Alot of them looked like this photo by MFN.

Trying a few searches on this line or history on them, anyone have anything on this - history, lineage, evolved projects, or anything?

Very neat, I have never heard or seen of them before your post, although I will say they look nothing like a motley to me, aside from maybe the sides. By the way, I think you can say Kingsnake now, so lets see: www.kingsnake.com

So far this is what I got.

I contacted the breeder about those boas. They came from two normal, high pink boas. The breeder is not a big breeder and even sold half of that same litter to a local pet shop. The breeder had no idea what was produced. Several U.S. breeders/importers inquired about these animals. The breeder even wrote, "I had no idea I could get so much money for boas." So that's the scoop.

I had contacted the breeder to find out information about the boas and it seems the person does not know genetics. He claims they are completely dominant and NOT co-dominant, but states that the parents are normal.
