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.

Jungle? or Hog Island
Just got this boy in last night, came in a "misc lot" if you will... corn snakes, rosy boa, albino red tail, ball python and a king snake... none the less, the guy I got him from says he is Jungle boa, however I really want to say he is Hog Island... either way he is a gorgeous boy, need to get him to calm down a bit, still a bit on the jumpy side but gorgeous. Just really not sure on the jungle.
If anyone could weigh in that would be great. I will be posting in the corn snake, king snake and rosy boa area too as I know nothing about their morphs lol.

I don't see any jungle or hog island there, but from what I can tell in the picture you got a hypo boa. Nice looking one too.

Thanks guys... I wasnt a hundred percent on what he was, but was also pretty sure he wasnt a jungle.
Now my ignorance is going to shine... what exactly constitutes a hypo? Originally I had plans (prior to getting him in, and thinking he was a jungle) to breed him out to an albino down the road, however I am no longer sure that is a possibility with the new genetics.
PS if I say I paid $40 for him would that mean I got a good deal?

I dont believe you will prove out anything breeding an albino to a jungle or hypo (in this case hypo) unless maybe it's a het albino. If it is a het albino your probably better off with a hypo because I think you could get sunglows too.
It would of been cool to know exactly what your getting but from just looking at him I would say you did good at $40.

A hypo is a reduced melamine(reduced black but not lacking it)
If you breed him to a albino and he proves out het for albino you will produce sunglows, albinos, hypo het albino and normals het albinos. If it doesn't prove out you will get hypos and normals 100% het for albino.
$40 is a good price.

Sorry spelled it wrong
a codominant mutation (in boa constrictors) where the animal lacks varying degrees of melanin, or black pigment
