RTB missing saddles

[llama]

Anybody know the average number of saddles missing on common columbian boas? Is this a morph? Are there morphs without saddles?

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).

Colombians are generally "supposed" to have 20-24 saddles, but this number is quite variable. I've seen normal Colombians with as few as 16-17 saddles. There are several morphs that greatly reduce the number of saddles, and there is even a patternless boa with no saddles at all. Pretty ugly-looking, IMO. It's like looking at a hairless cat.

[img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img] You know Bry, I've been trying to think of a metaphoric phrase for some of the severely reduced pattern (or non-patterned) boa morphs occurring more and more! That's perfect, thanks! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]
