Is Black Betty Crossed with MGB?

I posted this pic in another thread but I want to ask anybody who might know. Based on what you see in Black Bettys side pattern, does she have some MGB in her and could that possibly explain her size of 9 1/2' and 23 lbs?

Sorry, Madagascar Ground Boa. I know its possible since both MGBs and Dums are from different parts of the same Island and MGBs are usually larger than Dums. Ive always wondered this about Betty.

I think it's possible. Who has a known normal Dumeril to compare to these?
Also for comparison purposes:

Re: Is Black Betty Crossed with MGB?

And now that I've compared them myself, I say yours is pure Dumeril's.

Black Bettys side pattern is more intricately detailed than the other Dums I have, so....

That could explain it. I only have limited knowledge of my dumerils, mainly from a breeder and you, and I'm ignorant about MGB's right now. I hope to rectify that soon though. With your experience and knowledge as well as your collection, you're guess would probably be better than most of ours! lol

Ok. I will take Strutters word on this one. Tysm for your imput. Betty is just an unusually large Dum. I suppose thats possibnle as well since seeing is believing. Its just weird how her side pattern is more intricate, like I said.

Re: Is Black Betty Crossed with MGB?

I know her pattern is primarily Dum but her side pattern and her size made me question whether or not she was a cross. Anyway, heres a pic of the top of her head and her side pattern. What do you think?
