    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have had a clutch of boas born 3-14-14. I have 2 motley snows boas that was born at least I think they are snows not moonglows. The mom is a motley triple het and the dad is a snow. I am not sure how the motley gene works. What I am asking is what these two boas would be worth each. I have not seen any up for sale to have an idea. I am going to sell both of them. I am pretty sure that they both are females. I would be thankful for any input.

They look like snow motleys but I would recommend that you wait for them to shed a few more times


The BronX BoA
 
I'd look at the saddles to see if they are squarish or more of a bow tie

After some sheds, you can also compare the color of the two


The BronX BoA
 
he's asking if they are moonglows or snows, if they have hypo in there.

I've never worked with either, so I'm no help, but congrats on the babies Kenny!
 
Well, their color looks a lot like my snow did when he was younger. The pattern looks more like a normal motley than like my hypo motley. The hypo trait often alters the expression of the motley trait to some extent. I'm not seeing evidence of hypo in them in this picture, but as Bronx Boa said, I would wait for a couple of sheds before putting them up for sale in any case. Perhaps more pictures, after they shed, would help provide a better look at their pattern just to make sure. I'm not exactly the world's foremost expert, but I would guess snow motleys.
 
Here is a pic of one of my snow motleys after she has shed. I have come the the conclusion that they are probably snows. I want to thank all of you for your input.

Thanks Kenny Roberts

I'm guessing snow just because usually the motley sunglows usually have a more of a crazy aberrant pattern then the motley albino's & I'm doubtful the addition of the anery gene would change that. Keeping the moonglow, m/f?
 
If one parent was a Snow, and the other parent was a Motley triple het (aka Hypo Motley het Snow ) , then their can't be any Moonglow Motleys , so those two would be definite Snow Motleys .

If you didn't know --- the Hypo gene, and Motley gene are a unique combo, unlike other combo genes. It takes a Hypo x Motley to make Hypo Motleys , but uniquely a Hypo Motley x normal will only make Hypos or Motleys (no Hypo Mots and no normal.

So when breeding a Snow x Hypo Mot het Snow - Anything with the Motley gene will not be Hypo , and anything that is Hypo won't have the Motley gene .

To produce Hypo Motleys from a Hypo Motley parent , then the other parent has to have either a Hypo gene, or a Motley gene .

Great pair of Snow Motleys by the way
