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
The males
These are their normal colored siblings 100% het for type 2 anery 50% poss het for albino (blizzard)
This is mom when she was gravid
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.
