There are currently 2 main "lines" of hypos - the Salmon line and the Orangetail line. Hypo BoaĪ Hypo (short for Hypomelanistic) boa is a boa that has less black or brown color than a "normal" boa constrictor. The Ghost boa pictured above is one of our holdbacks from 2012. Ghost BoaĪ Ghost boa is the combination of the Anery and Hypo genes. The Eclipse boa was first created right here at Blumen Boas in 2012, and the picture above is of the first Eclipse. Eclipse BoaĪn Eclipse boa is the combination of the Leopard and Colombian Motley genes.
The Boawoman Caramel boa pictured above is our Boawoman Caramel, Caram. It has been determined that it is a recessive gene.
The Boawoman Caramel boa was created by Sharon Moore of the Boastore. With more selective breeding this may change however - there are many combinations yet to be done with Blood boas! The Blood boa pictured above is our Orangetail Hypo Blood possible het Anery, Diablo. When they are young their color is blood red, but as they age they tend to darken up and turn a brownish color. The Blood boa is a Central American boa and it is considered a "dwarf boa" as adults only reach approximately 5 feet in length. It has been determined that the Aztec gene is a Co-Dominant gene. They bought the original male from a school teacher who had the snake as a classroom pet. The Potts brothers, Bob and Andrew, are responsible for discovering this morph. The Aztec boa is a color and pattern mutation. The Anery pictured above is of one of our 2010 Anery babies. As an Anery ages, their saddles and their tail usually turn brown/yellow. Their bodies are usually silver and their tails are a lavender color when they are first born. Anery BoaĪn Anery (short for Anerythristic) boa lacks the color red throughout their body. The boa pictured above is our male Sharp Albino het Anery, Blade. The Kahl strain is thought to be a Tyrosinase negative albino. I currently only have the Sharp strain version of albino, which is thought to be Tyrosinase positive.
There are thought to be T positive and T negative albinos ( Tyrosinase positive/negative), although definitive testing has yet to be completed. An Albino boa is absent or deficient in melanin (also known as amelanistic).
