The very rare Mango Boa..

[Serpsel]

Here is one of my best baby makers up in my mango tree. She loved it up there. Meet Cali.
I picked her up from a local shop in 2001, she had lots of orange color on her sides and belly.
I estimate her to be about 9 years old, she weighs 30 lbs, and is a little over 8 ft long.




She has breed 4 times with two different males and always throws some babies with stripes.
She had babies from this male twice.


She also had babies from this other male twice


Here are some of the babies that she has produced over the last couple years. There is something about Cali!! LOL
This girl now resides in the N.E. somewhere, with a striped boa afficionado!!


This the brother of the girl listed above. They were both produced in 2008.


The next two pics are 2007 models



This last one is a 2005 model. Sold him awhile back, kind of regret that I did, but you can't keep them all!


Thanks for looking. I am sorry I took so long to post some pics. Hope you enjoyed them.

She's a beautiful Colombian type Boa. I'd like to see what she throws when
bred to another really nice Colombian non Hypo Boa

Thanks. I have thought about that myself, I just have not had a good normal Colombian to put to her. I have also thought about what her babies would look like if I paired her with a nice pastel, like from one of the nice pastel lines that I have seen posted on the forums.

Actually when I said normal ,that's more along the line of what meant.
Areally nice nomal "Pastel Type " Colombian Boa.

Washington Pastel line
Inferno line
Gus Renfro straight Colombians (some Pastel Looking Boas in that line)

These all have been mostly bred with Hypo Boas at some point I believe
probably a few Summits that haven't though

Pastel Dream line
Summit Pastel line
EBV /Lucy Pastel line

You get the idea ,the reason I list Washington Pastel at the top is because
Jeff forsure and Clay also I believe have kept many of the Washington line
Pastels pure with never any Hypo breedings in their history what so ever.

So it would be a nice line to use provided you get one that never touched a Hypo breeding.
Then you could be certain of the power of the fem genetics and know for
certain their was no " hypo strypo " aberrant influence

Great info, thanks. I might have to invest in a nice pastel at some point and take such a breeding for a test drive!! The good thing is that I already have the female part of the equation!! The bad thing is that I already have her in with a male so I probably would not want to try a different breeding for a couple years, to give her a break if she breeds, and to minimize the possibility of sperm retention from the current male that could skew my results, and create doubts.
