Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Not sure if I have heard of an Ivory boa... The snow boa is white but there is off white pattern and they normally turn white and yellow into adulthood. The only pure white boa I know of is the princess diamond. The PD has hets so if you bred one (first you'd have to fork out about 50k) you would get hets that are not white.

I wouldn't say the moonglow is whiter, they have more funky pattern to them because of the hypo gene and look slightly different. Google some pics of the two and you can see there is a slight difference in the appearance other than pattern.
ok the snow is a double recessive gene. it is an anery and albino. If you breed a snow X snow you should get all snows. If you breed a snow to a normal you will get all normal appearing boas 100% het for anery and albino or snow.
Moonglow is a dominate and double recessive trait, basically it is a snow that is also hypomelanistic. If you were to breed a moonglow X moonglow you would get 25% snow and I think 75% moonglow 25% of which would be possible supers.

BUT, you really shouldn't breed Snow x Snow, or Moonglow x Moonglow, or Snow x Moonglow. This is the same as pairing an Albino x Albino, since both of the above are indeed Albino. It might be the quickest way to make more Snows/Moonglows, but it is also the quickest way to have offspring with visual deformities.

Ivory is just a form of the anery gene, very pretty. Ivory is like a pastel anery. I have heard of moonglows becoming almost pure white as adults, not as much so as the PD that Jeremy Stone has, but pretty darn white.

Jeremy stone is working with a "white boa" called the princess diamond. It is worth reading the story.
