I'd bet money that he's a super hypo....if u can find out if both parents carried the hypo gene

KORBIN5895 · 01-04-13, 08:38 AM

Wait. When did he become a hypo?

Jendee · 01-04-13, 08:44 AM

and a super at that which means if vpi is proven all the babies will come out sunglow....

samps79 · 01-04-13, 08:52 AM

Even more confused now lol! Ehh?

that's not a normal boa, you have a hypo and a porbable super hypo where did you get this boa again I find it weird that you got it from bob clark yet you don't know what morph it is lols did he come with paperwork at all??

Just to clarify you will only get sunglows if he is bred to a t+ or het t+ female.

yes hell get t positive sunglows

if his boa proves out his 66% gene this is what youll make

this is a vpi t positive sunglow jungle...lol minus the jungle gene this is what youll make
but if your miss informed about the visual gene, then are you for sure its a 66% het??

Here's the story. My mate has two burms which I love and he needed to get 6 ft vivs so he said I could have his old 4x2x2 set up and all the kit and I just needed to buy the snake. I opted for a boa. I went down to the shop with my mate and he said pick a boa you like from a selection that was brought out and I picked this one. My mate done a deal with the owner as he gets all his stuff there and spends loads. He bought it for my birthday for £150 (I don't know what that is in dollars). The shop owner said he had just come back from a trip to Germany where he brought a load of snakes back and that this one was bred/sold by Bob Clark. I still have the tub he came in with the info sticker on it. He did make a comment that I had a special snake and that it was worth a lot more than he gave it to me for. I have only really got interested recently in all the breeds/strains/morphs. I picked him as a thought he had a happy face and was pretty (soft I know).

bob is my neighbor tho, and he is a python breeder..i have seen him with boas but he was trying to pawn them off at a show because he couldn't get them to breed lol
I would contact Bob Clark directly and see if he has any connection to this snake. tell him how you got him and such.
You definitely need to get a female to prove him out, if you were informed correctly and he proves the animals he will produce will be top notch!!

Cheers Jen. I will send him an email with the info I have.

Jendee · 01-04-13, 09:37 AM
