What Will I Get?

I HAVE AN 04 DWARF BCC AND A TJ HYPO TOGETHER RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD THE SIBLINGS BE IF THEY PRODUCED A LITTER? HERES SOME PICS AND THE DWARF IS AN 04 , 42" LONG, FEMALE, AND THE MALE HYPO IS AN 05 AND ABOUT 48" LONG.? JUST CURIOUS, AND THANKS FOR YOUR TIME,

JOSH CARLSON

Hi Josh, first, please don't breed that female until next season when she has some more size and age on her. That is a Colombian BCI and a good guideline for them is 3 yrs and about 6' for a female. When you do breed them, you will get half hypos and half normals. BTW, nice looking snakes.

Hey Chris, I Goofed, Its An 03 Dwarf Bcc And I Dont Think She Will Get 6 Foot. Cause Shes 4 Years Old And Still Under 4 Foot. So Would They Be Hypo Het Dwarfs? And How Would You Beable To Tell?

Yhanks,

Jos

Hi Josh, There are no dwarf BCC that I know of. I have dept many types of dwarf BCI and she is not one of them. I am positive that is a Colombian boa and would not breed her until she hits 6'. To sorta answer the question, even if she was a dwarf, dwarfism does not work in a recessive nature. They would be smaller than normal hypos. Again, if I were you, I would wait until that snake was 6'.

Chris

Well, not to step on your toes Chris, cus she does look plenty like a Colombian, but with all the crossing being done these days, she may well be from a Colombian x dwarf breeding, and therefor small in size.
But Chris is right, that ain't a BCC. I'd bet an albino against it. And if she is a dwarf, she is a cross IMO.


Rick

i hope it wasnt sold to you as a BCC
beautiful snakes though
the girl at first glance almost looks anery

I may not have made myself clear as I thought I did, I completely agree Rick. It looks completely Colombian to me. It could have a bit of other BCI blood, but that wouldn't make it that much of a dwarf, way too low of a chance. Not impossible, but I think an unrealistic possibility.

Chris

thanks for everyones knowledge on this. just one more question, what if she doesnt hit 6'? what guidelines should i go by then? on her age?

thanks,

josh

If she doesn't hit 6' or very close to 6' within 5 yrs of average feeding (7-10 days), it may be dangerous to attempt to breed her. Just like withany animal, some are just not meant for breeding. I would think that snake will hit 6' though.
