Have you checked for a marker on any of the poss hets?

Yeah, with what you have at least you would know when you bred it to the bino.

Re: Dilemma?? need help

The main marker is the eyes. Het albinos look like they have a little lightbulb inside their eyes. It's difficult to tell when you're looking at a single baby. However, I can look at an entire litter of poss het albinos and with about 90% accuracy tell which ones are het and which ones aren't. It will mostly show up in the top half of the eye, the hets will be much brighter than the non hets.

So looking at those 2 boas what one would you say is het albino?

Re: Dilemma?? need help

It's hard to do without looking at the whole litter and picking out the het markers among them. Also, it needs to be done as babies because as they mature it gets more difficult to see.

Re: Dilemma?? need help

Personally I would go withthe male Jungle. I love his color - esp on his tail. And his freckles are awesome. I usually don't like a lot on a boa, but he really sings!

I'm not a breeder, so take this for what it's worth, but I think you could have some great color possibilities with the male and your lot of females.

The female has that great chain link pattern and could produce nicely with the 'bino male, but my gut would go with the male. ...IMO

Re: Dilemma?? need help

Well I'm thinking you have a male Albino ,he'll pair up
with the Fem Jungle PH Albino

Looking at the pictuires provided you can't see the fems eyes
but the male looks like he could have the marker to me

Re: Dilemma?? need help

The OTHER big question is "How SOON were you looking into breeding the pair?" If you go with the male you can obviously be in the project after 18 months BUT if you go with the female...you WILL be waiting a while on her! I love both of them and would not be able to tell you which one to get, but from the looks of both of them, looks like they will BOTH make some really nice bambinos!

Thanks
and ya thats the reason i would get the female because i wont be buying any new boas for a while so i dont want to have to wait to buy a female bino and then wait more for her to mature to pair with the male

thanks E

either way it would be a while the albino male is a mid 09 the only one that would be ready is pastel female and in 2 1/2 yrs my salmon female will be ready

Re: Dilemma?? need help

have you looked around for an adult female, or subadult? there are tons and TONS of really nice boas up for sale right now, you just gotta look around. that would be another thing to think about, you could get into a project alot sooner, it would be worth the extra money IMO.
