Hello everyone!
I would just like to get your opinions here. My husband and I plan on starting a breeding project in the future with our male Lipstick Sunglow. His parents are direct lipstick line sunglows from Tom Burke, so he is a possible Super - of course, only breeding will prove that out.
I have been offered a couple nice Arabesque females recently, from a source that I trust implicitly. I know that Arabesque is co-dominant, and that
Arabesque x Normal will produce 50% Arabesques, 50% Normals.
Arabesque Het. Albino x Sunglow would produce:
12.5% Arabesque Sunglow
12.5% Arabesque Albino
12.5% Hypo. Arabesque Het Albino
12.5% Arabesque Het. Albino
12.5 % Sunglow
12.5 % Albino
12.5 % DH Sunglow
12.5% Het. Albino
CHAD HORNE REPTILES: Specializing In Boa Morphs & Tortoises
The trouble is, the Arabesque females I have been offered have unknown hets, so here are the other possibilities:
If my sunglow is Not super hypo:Sunglow x Arabesque =
25% Normal, het albino
25% Hypo, het albino
25% arabesque, het albino
25% hypo arabesque het albino
If my sunglow IS super hypo:
50% Hypo, het albino
50% Hypo Arabesque, het albino..
Sunglow Arabesques are gorgeous boas - but I am unsure of how soon we could expect to produce those, and whether
YOU would aim for that as a breeding project...or would you pair my boy with a different morph? I am very open to suggestions!
I am not new to boa husbandry, just genetics and breeding. I would greatly appreciate your opinions! We are in no rush to breed at all, just in the market for a nice female for future pairing with our beautiful boy.
Thank you for any and all of your input!
