Re: Please help me ID My Boa

It's hypo alright, you can't 100% visually distinguish a super hypo from a regular hypo. If you want to prove it's a superhypo, the only way is breeding to a non hypo boa. If the entire nest is hypo, it was a superhypo. Doesn't make any other difference unless you're breeding.

Thanks for the feedback! Does all the erratic black spotting suggest anything else in terms of genetics or is that a common pattern? I also couldn't decide where it would sit in terms of the Boa ID chart in the Boa constrictor Identification thread sticked here, any thoughts on that?
Thanks for your time!
