I like something about most all boas. There's speckling and then there's just plain peppering. That boa of yours is heavily peppered or speckled in a random way (het or double het for something?, it looks like it got those CA specks doubled up too), a nice Peru boa or even a Suriname boa and things like Crawl Cay boas are speckled in ways somewhat unique that can add to the pattern and contrast. Anyhow, that's the way I look at it.

Hate the black and the specks? You're going to choke on this poor ugly Peru boa.

	Heterozygous Heterozygous - the animal carries the gene for a genetic trait but does not outwardly demonstrate the trait. Example: A boa that is het for albino looks normal but carries the albino gene. When it is bred to another het for albino boa or an albino boa, a percentage of the offspring will be albino.

See in that second pic the specks arent bad at all because of the dark saddles to me. And honestly I have no clue if this boa of mine is het or anything. I picked it up when it was a few months old. And have always loved it.

heres a few more...not to hijack the thread but is there anyway of knowing if this is het. Besides breeding it?
