So folks, i’m back with my litter of confusion. I’m getting ready to post these little fellas on MM, and the more I look at a few of them the more confused I am.
The pairing was supposedly Img, Key west, Het snow X Key west, Het snow. Besides the obvious lack of anery or albinos, there is some other odd stuff going on. There are what look to be obvious Key wests, as expected, but then there is two that, to me at least look suspiciously motley.
Pics of Mom and dad for reference. They aren’t good pics but they at least show the pattern/coloring.
And then there is these two. One is obviously Img and the other is normal. But as for the pattern, neither look just Keywest to me, but I wanted another opinion, maybe i’m just seeing things or it’s the Img reacting oddly. Just want to make sure before I go selling them and don’t ID them properly.
Wow! The babies are beautiful, and the parent on top, is that the IMG, Key West, het snow? I know nothing about boas but that iridescence and dark color/pattern has me drooling a bit over here!
Yep, i’m not supposed to pick favorites but he makes me want to lol. He actually just shed so i’ll be taking him outside for some proper pics if he’ll hold still.
No supers as far as I know, but I wasn’t home when they were born. And the person taking care of them didn’t take any pics of the three non alive babies of the litter, so I have no way of knowing honestly.
Not a clue, but there is something up here that’s for sure. I suppose it’ll just be something else to add to the list of proving what they are whenever I pair them again(Not together ofc). I need to prove out if they are het snow or not too anyway.
I’ll just post the pics here, this is dad after a fresh shed in outside lighting. I can’t take the female out since she hates me but i’m working with her.
I find with my females that have given birth I wash them in a warm water bath. Leave them in a clean water tub as I clean out there cage very well and set the babies up in a new tub / cage. Then I put the female back in her clean cage. I have been doing this now for years and it seems like the female calm down quicker for me. It use to be 4 to 6 months before they would not want to kill me. Now they get back to being nice in about 1 to 2 months.
Oh yeah, she’s getting better, I just wasn’t home for around a month after the litter was born so I just haven’t had much time to work with her until now.
