Russo Red Pastel Hypo +?

Purchased this Russo Red yesterday and I am curious what gene causes the stripping along the back with spots on its sides.

Could be jungle causing it.
I was eyeballing the Sterling gene for a while. Some of my favorites were the Russo Red hypo sterlings I saw. I want to say Sterling hets also have some striping to them. Unfortunately not something you’ll be able to say for sure without breeder information.

Beautiful boa!

I was leaning toward the Het sterling as well looking at Russo’s website and seeing some of the offspring he has produced. My only option to find out if it was sterling is to get another sterling. Which is a great idea.

I passed this specific Boa up about a week or 2 ago and when I went back it was still there. I needed another male for breeding project and this happened to be a male.

Reminds me of a super striped boa more than a jungle.

Here is a super striped boa.

The way the striping starts at the head / neck is what I see in all the striped boas I have seen.
