How many saddles do you count?

Title says it all. I got an aberrant female Boa, "MJ" and close as I can get, she has 19 saddles. What's your take on it?

Her cloaca is just below the base of her reverse stripe. I count 3 saddles within the RS.





Best 2 pics I have showing her saddles.

Thanks for playing, it gets better.

Sorta.

i count 22

Are you splitting the saddles with the paw prints?

I'm getting 19-20

And what if I told you she has...

244 Ventral scales
53 Subcaudal scales
87 Dorsal scales
and 19-20 saddles


This is the first time I've gotten a shed from her that wasn't destroyed by her or by me trying to unravel it. So I finally got a scale count on her after all this time.

Never would have figured those results though.

Aww man & congrats? Not sure how to go on that one

Guessing your plans just got changed a bit?

Put a dent in them, but didn't destroy them. I can always get me a Nice Colombian BCc to go with her.

Time to show my ignorance.

Someone clue me in .... as I just got into boas thanks to Rick.

Well, her scale counts, her saddle counts, and according to a few BCC aficionados, her looks and muscle tone as well, make her a BCc.

I always assumed she was a BCi Colombian. She may very well be Colombian, but not likely BCi with all the evidence pointing to the contrary. Only thing that sucks about it, is it makes her last litter with all the striping, crosses, which is a bit of an embarrassment for me.

I'll still play with the striped ones as morphs, but I won't be breeding MJ again, except to a BCc.

Ahhhh

Guess Id have to do a scale count on my super Jungle... cause there sure arent any good sadles to try and count.
