You misunderstand my use of the term "dead end". I am aware that some guy in Italy powerfed the crap out of his female PD Het. in order to recreate the morph (seven live and eight slugs are not what I would call a healthy litter, but since two PDs showed up people are raving about its success and ignoring that the female, at most, was 2.5 when bred). However, a Lucy boa is always going to be just that, a Lucy boa. You cannot manipulate the color, you cannot change how the eyes look, it is just going to be a white boa.

Unlike in Ball Pythons where Lucy animals are often the Super Forms of another morph, shoving as many morphs into a PD as possible is not going to change the end result of what will ultimately result.

That aside, I believe "The Diamond" is a BCA and his offspring are BCA mutts which attributes to the "unique" look of the Hets.

Yes, there are claims of this, yet of the many in Rich's possession, very few have been sold and none of them have been placed up for sale publicly.

Roswell and Keywest appears to be the same mutation, one happens to be BCC and the other is supposedly BCI. My point is that they may very well be the same mutation and they need to be bred together to see if a super will result to prove or disprove the fact.

Sean of Exotics by Nature bred a SJ male and produced a litter from it. Someone by the screen name of "Desert" (I believe his first name is John) has a SJ female drop a litter prematurely with only one survivor, but a survivor nevertheless.

I feel that SJs are cool to look at, but aside from being able to produce all Jungles in a litter, I do not see how them breeding is that revolutionary. It's not like the extreme instances of color and pattern craziness will definitely be passed down. Kind of the extreme color of Super Hypos is often for the simple fact they are Supers.

There have been questions raised which I understand. The primary being that Jeff Ronne, even when working on new projects, has never been shy about splattering as many photos of goo and other things as possible about the internet.

In regards to that project, a whole of five animals have been seen and nothing else from the rest of the litter which leads people to wonder just what other offspring look at and if the crazy coloration of the Labyrinth is attributable to the Monstertail lines rather than the morph itself.

It's still such a new morph it is really hard to say what will happen with it.
