Hi guys, I know this kinda stupid question, but I am having trouble identifying some of the rarer Boa morphs. Hypo, Albino, Sunglow, they are easy, but things like Paradox, Arabesque, Jungle, laddertail, can't find the common thread. Can anyone give me some common traits for identification for these guys?

The common thread is they are all visual mutations found in BCI genus. Colombian Red Tails and True Red Tails are separated by genus classifications known as Boa Constrictor Imperator and Boa Constrictor Constrictor all the mutations you have listed are found in the BCI side of things.

Other than that some mutations you have mentioned are recessive and other co-dominant. As for identifying them you either know what they are and look like or you don't only research changes the outcome of a persons success. I understand that this is what you are doing so I will not bombard the post with to much information in one read as you progress tho feel free to PM any questions my way people are doing it a lot these days and seem to be taking away a lot of information that was not readily understood the first time around. If I can help that is why I am here. We keep good husbandry skills and practices not to mention the breeding information, I am not in the business to give away all my secrets lol but some stuff can only be done one way and we are here to help people learn the right way. Many other things fall in the category of to each their own.
