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.

That is correct, but if it is a straight recessive, then both mom and dad would have to carry the gene to produce Mosaic in the first place. Out of three litters, this trait should have been exhibited more then once.

Either that or you were "extreeeemely" unlucky with your previous clutches (which might be possible). Now, if it's a random mutation, that's a different story altogether, and it might at least a couple of generations to prove her out.
Regards.

Thats what I'm thinking. In three litters with 20+ babies each with low to non-existant slug counts, the odds of a simple recessive only being displayed once are astronomical. Needless to say, Mosaic is a long-term project.
Of course, we could just attribute Mosaic to a favorable nod from the boa gods. 2003 was a very unusual year for me with boas.
Mosaic popped up in a normal litter.
Pip (my little dwarf Colombian) popped up in a normal litter.
and I produced a line of striped anerythristics from two separately rescued normal boas. It was a great year for karma!

Sorry everyone - no new pictures tonight.
It's pouring rain so I decided to set up inside. Of course as soon as I had everything ready and went to retrieve Mosaic, I discovered that she is in shed.
The good news is that in a few days, I'll be able to take some pictures when she is at her absolute best.

Griz, I bet you do.
Of course, I have yet to see any offers!
I'll warn you though, she'll be a tough one to talk me out of.

Griz,
If I was convinced to release her, I would most likely do it as a project. In other words, a package deal with her mother and the male from the same bloodline.
Thank you for your offer, but at this time, I will have to decline.
Thanks,
