With jungles the Black that outlines there tail saddles is more intense just stands out more than normal. All jungles have a very distinctive lateral line that runs the whole length of the side of the body. Gives a two tone look to them. Here are pictures of my jungles.
Low expression jungle.
High expression jungle.

Crazy pattern on this snake! Might look more into this morph specifically if there’s more with the cool pattern like this guy

You can easily find similar looking hypo leopards, but the black “mask” on the nose is very difficult to find. My hypothesis is that it’s linked to high percentage Sonoran bloodlines but I can easily be proven wrong. Most leopards that I’ve seen that’s been heavily bred into standard BCI usually have a much “cleaner” pattern and a almost solid color head.
Any boa locality experts here that work with Sonoran’s that could prove or disprove my hypothesis?

I believe you are correct in that assessment. The Pure Boa Sigma Leopard Hypos appear to maintain a higher busy pattern percentage from the Leopard trait where the Imperator integrated individuals have it cleaned up resulting in more color saturation but less Leopard pattern influence.

Making slow progress handling him! Taking him to a vet today to check up if he has old burns on his belly from the old owner, but overall he’s looking great and not hissing at me anymore! Progress is progress lol
