Here are a few shots of my male Snow Rosy Boa while he was breeding with my het for anerytheristic female. He is also finally showing some interest in my snow female. :cool:

"Hey gl on the pairing."

I am not sure what you are saying there? Forgive me I can be a bit slow at times...

[NYCHerper]

good luck!
Im just glad to see that the snow project is expanding. If im not mistaken the offspring should come out het for anerytheristic and double het for snow?

[pch101]

Actually, 1/2 should come out anerytheristic and be het for amelanism, while and the other 1/2 should appear normal but be het for both amelanism and anerytherism (double het for snow).

I guess I should explain that a snow rosy is made the same way most other snows of other species are. It is when the Rosy is displaying both anerytherism and amelanism. Basically, my male is homozygous for both traits(displaying both traits on the same snake).

And so far this has only been done with Whitewater locale?

So far, but I hear that Randy Limberg has an anerytheristic from the same area that his Amels are from. He has double hets that should be ready to breed next year.
