whats the difference?

[Steve_M.]

I've noticed with central american boas ( Nicaraguans in particular) there is a type1 and a type2 anery and a melanistic anybody know the difference?

I belive the type 2 is a darker anery than the type 1 and the melanistic is a black wash over the snakes normal patern.

Type 2 anery stays black and white as an adult, they don't yellow out. I have herd that the type 2 is being bred to albinos to make a blizzard boa(doesn't turn yellow as an adult. Melanistic is black or verry dark boa sometimes gaining black pigment as they grow.
