weird super salmon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BigSqueezeBoas]

Ok check this out. I got this male salmon a couple years ago and tried to breed him last year but nothing happened, so I tried again this past season. Well..........he got the job done. Here's the weird thing about him. He's a weird looking salmon don't you think??
Since the guy i got him from told me he was just a weird salmon i thought I would just put him with a normal female this year. It turns out this guy is a SUPER SALMON!!!!!!!!!!!! I never would of thought he was a super because of all the black pigment he has. He was proud papa of 19 salmons!!!!!

who would of thought he was a SUPER

Thanks,

Wow, that really is quite an odd looking animal.

[lhcfireman]

Now that is wild. I actually kind of like the coloring on him he is different.

Congrats on the litter too.

Cool snake, it looks like a paradox salmon? what were the parents? i wonder if he is carying another recesive gene? and did any of the kids come out like dad? keep the pics coming of the birth, thanx reid

[JChurch]

Weird is one way to put it. Funky, wild and outrageous are some more ways..lol. It does look like a variation of a "paradox" as it were. What do the offspring look like? Where are the pics at?

[txherp]

That is the coolest salmon I have EVER seen! Did any of his babies come out like that??

[BigSqueezeBoas]

I havn't taken pics of his babies yet but for now they all look like Salmons but very contrasty. I got him from a pet shop 2 years ago so I have no history on him as far his parents.
What's really weird is that he was a pretty normal looking until his last 2 sheds. He's starting getting lighter and lighter with every shed. I've thought of selling him, but I'm not to sure yet. Do you guys think their is something going on?

what pics do you wanna see of him? eyes? etc..........

what doyou think Jeff???????????

[nickstone]

That's a great looking animal, I wouldn't sell him, can you post some pics of the babies for us, thanks, Nick

[BigSqueezeBoas]

I'll take pics of the litter and post them on thursday morning.

[locoengineer]

Great looking Boa, I cant wait to see pics of the kids.

[snkchrmr_420]

Mmmm mmm mm. That guy is looking great. What a surprise to get. I bet after all the Hypos came out you were left scratching your head wodering where normals were. Looking forward to seeing the babies.

[BigSqueezeBoas]

exactly snkchrmer,
I never would of thought this boa was a super. PAradox maybe as I've read on the above posts???????? why do some of you think it might be paradox???

Last year at the Daytona breeders expo I saw a boa similar to yours. I took some pics of it, it was being called a "calico".
I don't remember who had it, but it wasn't for sale.

I think that you might have something similar going on here.

Here Are Some New Pics Of The Male Adult Taken Yesterday.

[BigSqueezeBoas]

[BigSqueezeBoas]

Heres A Few More

[BigSqueezeBoas]

so what do you think of the baby's

[dsodenboas]

I love the first two babies... very nice looking!

[Randy_T.]

The neos look really good. How many do you think you'll make yourself keep back?

[BigSqueezeBoas]

probably only six. They have something going on i beleive. time will tell if they mimic their Dad.

It looks like they might :) Keep us updated!

[AshLopez]

I LOVE that animal.

I wouldn't be Surprised if he turned out Het Albino.

Most Paradox(Calico's) are albino's.

He's probably double het for Sunglow.

You should breed him next year to a Albino.

The worst that could happen you got Salmons het Sunglow.

The best that could happen is you get albino's and Sunglow.

Maybe even a Paradox like Dad.

Thanks for posting and Good Luck !!!

I have to admit...I'm Ja bit Jealouse and wish I could find such an Awesome boa in a petshop !!!1

[BigSqueezeBoas]

now i only wish i had a female albino.
BTW..........all his babies are up for grabs.

Now that guy is definitely weird! Looks like he may even have some Hogg in him. I wish I ran a petshop. People are always bringing all kinds of crazy stuff in there. I heard that the Aztec boas started with an animal that a woman brought into a petshop in Oldsmar, Fl. and just gave it to them. Must be nice. Lol. I have a buddy that produced a paradox albino boa this year. It may even be a Sunglow but it's kinda hard to tell. As she gets older it may become more apparent. My favorite part about her is that she has 1 normal eye and 1 albino eye! Too incredible! He has some preshed pics of her on his website if anyone wants to check them out. It's www.boarama.com . She should have shed by now so I'll get on him to get some new pics of her up there.

[snoopsssnakes]

Awesome proven breeder BSB! I agree w/ASH LOPEZ... he probably has the ALBINO gene present:cool: . It would not be a bad idea to hold 0.2 for the future..
