Phantom Boa - pushing 2 years

[BWSmith]

Phantom Boa is pushing two years and 4' long. Not bad since his mother was only like 5'.

The flash is actually not washing him out that much. He is a ivory-pewter color

thats a very nice looking boa , so what are the genetics behind it ?

That is still the most wicked looking and washed Boa with Pastel characteristics on the planet! Passes all the Pastel tests far and beyond. I hope it proves to me much more than that. And if there is a super version... Now am really depressed that it isn't mine. I loved it the first time I saw it. I wished I had it the first time I saw it! I still wish it were mine if the truth be told! Wicked wicked wicked! Who needs color? WOW! Wonderful wonderful animal!

Time will tell al the wonders you may get from that animal but I will speculate with a couple points;

1. If he breeds and produces half a litter that look like him, I predict he will prove to be a visual het for a Leusistic Boa. Wanna sell him? LOL I'm not kidding on either point.

2. I think there is an excellent chance he is het for Anerythristic. Any chance of that that you know of?

Were both parents Colombian? I don't see anything that would suggest anything else. A real smoker!

Here are the pictures of him at one year:
