Finally got my bizzare girl!!! **PICS**
after about 2 years of pestering a local store i finally got my hands on their sweet "not for sale" female. i posted pics of her awhile ago and never really got a definitive answer on what she is. heres the old pics i took with my cell phone, i'll get some better ones [hopefully] tomorrow during feeding time.
some said she might be some kind of "tiger boa" but i'm really clueless on this one. any help with an ID would be greatly appreciated.

BCM (Boa constrictor mut) likely...no telling what all it took to get that effect As far as exact locale, good luck. It's not likely a product of any specific locale...more likely a mix of some sort of who knows what? not being a wild type makes it all the more difficult to even guess. It could also be something of relatively less complicated locale genetics and just a product of selective breeding like animals till the saddles thin out to near nothing or inbreeding similar siblings? who knows? Interesting looking boa though. I'm afraid unless you can find out more about her parents and where they came from and where their parents came from and keep tracing till you get to the field herper that actually caught the snakes that the line derived from, all you are going to know for sure is she's a cool looking boa. |

Well, you will now soon if it is a Tiger. Tiger is a codom gene so about half of any of her offspring should be tigers.

thanks everyone! hopefully i'll get a litter out of her next season. i got a nice male with similar colors (not saddles) that should get me an interesting bunch of boas, and at the very least prove her out. if anyone has seen similar boas on any breeders site, i would really appreciate a link.
