Rainbow Boa Morphs....
In response to a question on another forum, though you'd like to see this here as well....
Currently there are only a few proven rainbow boa Morphs.
Hypo (Hypomelanistic) a recessive trait in Brazilian Rainbow Boas that results in a very light colored animal with no black and a yellow to peachy color.
Anery (Anerythristic) A recessive trait in Brazilian Rainbow Boas that results in a dark animal with no red and white crescents.
Both Brazilian and Colombian have their own strain of Albino. Not "proven" yet in BRB biut I believe they are being produced in Colombians.
Ghost - A recessive trait in Colombian Rainbow Boas. results in light gray CRB.
Several traits in the proving stages:\
Pearl - Full crescent color side markings - believed to be either recessive or line bred.
Candy Stripe - Brand new trait in Brazilian Rainbow Boas resulting in a hypo colored fully striped animal. Possibly a co-dominant trait.
Zebra striped - a stripe that came out of the Pearls where the dorsal markings blend with the lateral markings.
Aby (Aberrant) line - a third line of stripes where the side markings are conjoined into stripes.
I'm sure I've missed some, feel free to add to the list....

Re: Rainbow Boa Morphs....
So there is currently no known leucistic BRAZILIAN Rainbow Boa, correct? I've seen what was described as a "Lucy" Colombian Rainbow, but no Brazilian.
What "morphs combination" creates a Lucy?

They came out of a dorsal stripe project of mine that went insane. I bought a 1.1 pair from a litter that showed some degree of dorsal striping (simple connecting of dorsal patterns only), raised them up and bred them together to see of more dorsal stripes like the parents had would be produced and not only did I get babies like the parents, I got four with the amazing "Candy stripe" pattern/color. At this time I believe the trait is Co-Dominant with the normal stripe being the heterzygous expression of the trait.
None are for sale at this time, I need to work on the project for a few years before any will be available.

Doesn't breeding siblings cause problems ? I'm new to snake keeping and know nothing about breeding

Inbreeding can cause problems. More with higher order species like Mammals. Reptiles are a much lower order species and less prone to difficulties from inbreeding. Simply put there are significantly fewer gene pairs to go wrong. Not that I would ever recommend it, there is a boa breeder that is up to F5 and F6 with no noted problems. Unrelated animals are F1 breeding two siblings result in F2's, breeding those F2's make F3's and so on.
Part of my work over the next couple of generations will be outcrossing to unrelated animals to keep the babies strong and healthy.

As I said I really know nothing about snakes, I know it causes problems in mammals. Thanks for the explanation. Much appreciated.
Cheers

The Candy strip are the only ones that grab my eye, they are stunning. I love the tire tracks down their spine!

No, there are not. Albinos Brazilians are in the development/proving stage, however.
