For genetics I only breed what I like to keep for myself. I don’t breed to just make money from my boas. If I did I would not give boas away for free to some people I kown. If I am lucky I break even after taking care, housing and feeding my boas. This is just a fun hobby for me.
I have Kahl albino, lipstick, hellboy, coral, Groovy, Kubsch pastle, hypo, jungle, motley, anery T1, arabesque, VIP albino, and harlequin genetics in my collection of boas. I know some of the above are just traits not genetics.
Plan on adding snowglow, IMG and maybe NFI to my boas. But for now I am concentrating on my Northern Brazilian BCC X BCI and Southern Brazilian BCA X BCI sunglow crosses. I am trying to make boas that are bigger and have lots of color to them.
I don’t like the dwarf boas like the blood boas. I have made a very pink / red BCCXBCI sunglow that is starting to develop purple sides now. So with any luck he won’t yellow out like most sunglow or brown out like the dwarf blood boas do. I will see what he looks like in about 2 years. Then with more breedings I hope to prove something new out maybe in the years to come.
Over the years I have traded and bought non related boas to get new bloodlines in my collection so I can breed them into my collection. This way I am not breeding parents back to their own babies when trying to make new morphs. I try not to breed anything over a F3. I have done F1 sofar. It was my BCI female sunglow motley jungle to my BCCXBCI male hypo jungle het albino. They both have the same father my first sunglow motley jungle named Aang.
What are your breeding and genetic plans?

Though, it is appearing like super jungles might not have the issues as previously thought, and could just be a source of being inbred.

Cause inbreeding reduces their tools and life span right ?
