it likes healed deep scares if it was pied het it wouldnt show any of the markings showing the marks means homo thats a normal boa

In regards to DHserps, I guarantee that the white spots are not "healed deep scares." The spot are part of the snakes pattern, and may or may not have offspring with the same or more white on them. As far as I know, no one has breed a boa with these spots. If anybody does know more about these marking please let me know.
Thank you

Here's another pic

Out of curiosity, how do you guarantee the spots are not scars? In your other post here http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...threadid=46622 you state this:
Since you only got her recently, did you also get pictures of her as a neonate possessing these marks? That would be the determining factor really.

In all honesty it does look exactly like healed burns. I've seen it myself and the marks are identical, a white patch with a discolored ring around it. A slight burn doesn't do it, but a deep burn does. The white spot appears within 1-2 sheds after the burn occurs, in the spot where the scales were seriously damaged.
I'd like to see the same snake after half a dozen sheds.

As far as being het for pied, those marks do not suggest that at all. A snake that is het for anything looks completely normal, that's the nature of it, the carrier of a recessive gene cannot also display that gene without being homozygous.
That being the case, since it is displaying white spots, it's either pied or it's not, het is not an option.

Regardless, it is my opinion that that snake was injured at some point, and those marks are of no genetic significance.

thanks
 

thank you clay

I couldn't agree more with Clay's words. There have been 2-3 boas for sale with similar markings in the past, plus a couple of ball pythons. An offer of $1,000 for a pied boa? The day a true pied boa shows-up it will be at least 30K. A while ago the boa in the picture was also offered as something special.
