Hello,
I have 3 baby snakes i was wondering what morphs you think they have, if any. Thank you!
Sorry for the late response, but I just saw this post today.
The only way to know for sure is to ask the breeder who produced the boas.
But here are my opinions on your boas.
The first one may be a BCI leopard possible het VPI. There is something else with this one, but I am not sure. Definitely has a few different localities in it.
The second one looks to be a VPI hypo jungle to me.
The third one looks to be a leopard jungle or leopard super striped to me.
Let me preface this by saying I’m no expert on visually ID’ing boa genetics outside of what I have in my collection.
One and three look het leopard to me. Leopard has long been treated as a recessive trait but it’s actually an incomplete dominant. Those two snakes show the visual traits (head spear bubble, aberrant saddles with pinched centers, the striping on the tail saddles of the third snake) of the gene in its heterozygous form. Neither of them look like super (homozygous) leopards. The first one looks like it may have some other genetics or locality phenotypes in the mix, but I couldn’t tell you what those are without knowing the genetics/lineage of the parents.
Outside of it being hypo, I can’t tell you much on the second one from the pic provided. If it’s related to the other two, I’d say it may be het leopard also based on that tail stripe. Hypo does funny things with patterns which make it harder to ID other traits. A better quality pic would be helpful.
