Super Stripe Boa (Boa constrictor imperator)

Submitted By: Anthony LeCompte, Conley Herps Inc.

Super Stripe Boa Constrictor
 

BREEDER’S COMMENT’S: “This super stripe male was produced in 2006, and it shows the typical symmetrical divided stripe that runs along 90 percent of the snake. Our super stripes were produced from a heterozygous pair: a male likely collected somewhere along the Yucatan Peninsula and a Colombian female. The super stripe acts as a recessive trait; however, the heterozygous animals may be radically aberrant themselves. Super stripe boas are highly variable in color and pattern, but most are simply stunning.”

Hello I am planning on breeding my boa in the next year or so. I have researched it for years (breeding boa's) and have kept snakes my whole life. Currently I am searching for a good male but my question is about the female I have now, I bought her from a breeder in 2008 and she was born earlier that year (hence why I am waiting another year or so to breed her), now I know she is het albino and she looks to be pastel, the man told me he thought she was but wouldn't know for sure until she was older so I was wondering if someone with breeding experience could help me out on figuring out if she is pastel and what an ideal male would be. I have researched all morphs and can't seem to make up my mind. Also she has very little black on her. I can send a pic. Thank you....Also any other advice would be great.

Those are really neat markings. Almost looks like a road.
