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.

this all seems to confusing for me...
I have noticed A LOT of boas for sale lately with "white spots" or "white sections". I accept the fact that burns can and will cause identical spots. But that second photo looks awfully big to be a burn. Central Florida Reptile Breeders have tried to sell some babies they have with the same white markings. I agree with Clay, but why are there suddenly so many, and the second photo in here could that also be a burn? Just asking...

Thank you Bryan, I appreciate your input.
I know that an animal that is heterozygote carriers the gene, but does not show the signs of it. For a snake to be consider pie-bald, it must have 10% or more of the markings. My snake has about 2% of the markings. This would not be considered to be a pie-bald or a heterozygote for pie-blad.
I believe these spots to be part of the snake's natural pattern. A scar is special connective tissue that covers an abrasion on the body, that will lessen over time, but will never be completely healed. The way someone can tell if it is scar tissue is:
The skin will retain a differnt textureform the rest of the body.
The skin will become thick, tough, and less flexible.
The skin will be discolored.
The spots on my snake's skin has the same texture of the rest of its body. The spots are not thick, tough nor less flexible. Obversely, the skin is discolored.
To the best of my knowledge, these spots occur naturaly in this snakes pattern.
I will be at Daytona, with my boa on saturday only. Rick Knows a Repitle Vet from Miami that agreed to meet us in Daytona. He will look at his male and my Female spots and will decipher it from scar tissue. I will reply back once I get an answer.
I will not meet anyone to show my boa to. If Ricks wants to show his male, I'm sure he will reply. I have not seen his offspring yet. He is not claiming them to be anything, but the offspring of his male. We are hoping to prove this to be genetic.

Where exactly is this written? There's no minimum requirement of white to determine if an animal is pied. It either has the gene or it doesn't, there's no gray area. If it is homozygous for the pied gene then it's pied regardless of the degree the gene is expressed. It's the genetic condition that determines it, not the phenotype.
There have been a few pied balls hatch with no white at all on the lateral or dorsal surface, merely a white belly and the characteristic dorsal double striped pattern. These snakes were pied regardless and carried just as much chance of producing a 90% white snake as any other pied.
Now you say it's neither pied or het for pied, but in the other thread you started here http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...threadid=46622
you titled the thread "Possible Het for pied Boa".
The determining factor remains unanswered. Was this snake born with those white spots? Pieds don't happen spontaneously.

Ok Lets just start off with this "is there such thing as a PIED BALD BOA"...second female Looks Awful familiar (the White Areas) I had a female that I had given to my son-in law in Ga last year with the same White Marks( from a Rabbit Bite) I wish I had keep the pictures... in turn when he got shipped off to Iraq he gave it to somebody in the Miami area so im just curious where did you pick this snake up? dont get me wrong but those white markings(scars) look awful close to a female I use to own JMHO
