Boa Genetics...

[Nikki Gervais]

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if you could help me out on boa genetics.

- If I purchased 1.1 100% het albino columbian boas (no hybrid surinamXcolumbian!) and bred them what would the offspring turn out like? 25% norm etc

- How many albinos if there are 15 or 30 neonates?

- What are the chances of producing albinos?

- What would the normal neonates be called? 50% poss het etc

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on a subject I know very little about!

P.S. Here's a pic of my friend's new argentine boa, right before he struck out and almost nailed him. Gotta love them!

From a het x het breeding the resulting offspring would be 25% albino, 25% normal, and 50% hets. The normal looking offspring would be referred to as 66% hets...

Thanks Linds! Dexter, sorry he's not mine

Any argentines in Canada would be illegal, due to CITES 1 designation. 'Cides I think that argentine is Nikki's friend's in the states.

I concur w/Linds and the ratios. If you getting hets, get paperwork, too.
