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.

for me, maybe the pied. That is, if Tibor's proves genetic. It's so wacky looking. If you hadn't seen the pics:

I don't even know what those last 2 are and the others listed, I personally am not into because of being crosses or unknown history.

Wow! I have definitely been away too long, that pied is SICK!
The Labyrinth and crystal boas are from Jeff Ronne, the story is all over Jeff's Facebook page.

Here are some pictures of the boas listed in the poll. Notice the labyrinth boa's, notice the color difference, there is NO hypo mixed in there. That is just the color difference you can find in one litter.
Here is info on the Labyrinth/Crystal boas ---- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=tr4NYlhXoe0

I don't think Tibor's boa is a pied. I think it's the Motley gene being weird again. I suppose we'll see, but I kind of hate people are calling it a pied when nothiing is proven yet.
That aside, for me, in terms of crazy colorful animals, I think Sterlings are capable of dominating that part of the market. I'm convinced the right breedings can basically make solid red boas.

I didn't know anything about the pied to be honest with you. I talked with a friend and they mentioned adding it to this list. I guess time will tell.

I love the sterling. It's an awesome looking snake with TONS of potential. Vote today!

I think what turns me off from a lot of new "up and coming" potential morphs to is the fact people just share nothing about them.
One thing I really enjoyed about the Sterlings is Ken was really transparent about the whole thing and even gave monthly updates on them.
The Princess Diamond if it proves, is a dead end morph. It's a solid white boa. There's nothing you can really do with it. That aside, there is always the issue that it is claimed to be a Colombian Boa (for legal reasons, that has to be claimed) but I doubt very many people believe it. The hets. look like BCA crosses.
But, I'm just a hater, so it's okay.
Super Roswells are cool, but I like the lightness and color of the Key Wests I have seen better. I've seen too many ugly Het. Roswells because of indescriminate breeding.
Crystal and Labrynth boas I do not know much about because I do not facebook. They look neat though.

Yeah, I talk to Ken quite a bit on Facebook. The sterling project has been awesome to keep up with and now that others have them the project will grow tremendously.
The PD project has been fun to watch, as there have been multiple updates on it as well. But I am sure the project will have some direction but we will just have to see how the genetics turn out.
I almost put the key west boa in the line up but the super form has not been proven or even seen for that matter.
