MELANISTIC BOA

This boa was imported into the U.S. in 1994 as a baby. She was totally black as if she had been spray-painted, her belly is fire orange in color. As a baby no saddles were visible, as she has aged her color had faded slightly and we can now see faint outlines of her saddles. She has the constant iridescence of a rainbow boa and her scales are very tight, giving her a smooth feel similar to that of a green anaconda The past two years (with no male caged with her) she ovulated and threw slugs. As of this writing she is gravid. We bred her to our most outstanding albino male. We cannot wait to see if this great BLACK boa proves genetic.
