What kind of boa is this??

[BoaDevotion]

i've posted these pics on a bunch of forums to no avail. a few have said it looks like a "fine line" from jeff, so i'm here to see if that holds any water. it was purchased a few years ago at the Dyatona Breeders Expo, and is at a lps right down the street from me. the pics are a horrible representation of the color, the flanks on this girl has the same color as a rare steak!

any ideas as to what she is, and where she could have come from? i'm looking to make a trade with the owner of the shop for 2 or 3 of my nicer young boas (guyana, suri, mabye even the baby hogg) and before i do so it would be nice to know a little more about her.

Not a Fine Line but if you get her for me I will send you a beautiful Albino Female for her. I am not kidding. Very nice.

sorry about the topic title . . . wasnt sure how loose this forum was.

wow, praise from ceasar . . . i think i'm gonna have to swing by that lps after work and see what i can work out. do you think its an abberrant pattern, a cross of some kind, or something else??

I would not offer to get it if I thought it were a cross of some sort. Short chunky Colombian Head. Blah Colombian tail. But really cool funky pattern. I am all about funky you know. I am one funky dude!

Hey, ::)She looks pretty cool,or should i say very cool 8)!! Has a nice abberrant pattern! I would say make that trade and breed her to see if you get more!!,or trade her back to Jeff and get a nice albino ;D!! Tuff decision hu? :-/

Whatever she is she is beautiful............the fine line pattern is very striking and I like the pink head and sides..........I have seen some like her before...........maybe a South Brazilian mix?
Will he tell you what she is .........or does he know?
Have you asked the guy what he would sell her for if an offer was made?
I am sure one of you could work a deal with him. :)

the shop where she is at is clueless as to what it is, but they do know they have a unique animal on their hands . . . "NOT FOR SALE" is the only thing written on her cage. i have talked to the owner a few times about her, but recent events might help my trade along.

she just lost 2 baby boas, a baby ball, and a decent sized chamelion to a couple punk kids aka thiefs. i would think she would be looking for a couple way nicer boas to replace them at almost no cost to her, or atleast i'm hoping thats the case.

that is a super hard decision i'll have on my hands if i end up with this boa. i already have an 05 albino poss het anery female, but i'm sure jeff has a million and one boas to tempt me with a trade of some sort. on the other hand this girl might throw some amazing looking babies if i bred her to a hypo, super salmon, or a funky albino for some unreal hets. guess i'll cross that bridge when (if) i come to it.

thanks for the replies!
