I purchase a female striped boa in 1991 from Matt Schram. She was around
five feet when I bought her. He also gave me a pair of adult striped boas on
breeding loan, which he said were the parents of my female. I bred the pair of
striped boas to each other and produced a litter of striped babies which
proved to me these were genetic striped boas. I also bred an albino boa to the
striped female I purchased from Matt. I have since raised up the double hetero
females and produced some of the most beautiful albino boas and several of
them have striping. This stripping gene works like this. In one litter you get
all striped babies but they vary from say 20% striped to fully striped. The
color is
very intense in the striped boas and that is why the albino are so incredible.
The photos below are Striped Albino Boas. They are the product of
breeding Double hets (for striped albinos) together. This
morph will have it's own page soon.
These Albino boas below were produced from a double het for striped albino
breeding. Although they do not exhibit any striping, they the most intensely colored
albino yet.
