    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....

Ok folks, got a question. Has anyone seen or heard of there being a Blizzard(type II anery x albino) that is alive or created? Has anyone ever done it? Are the genes incompatible? Anyways i picked up 1.3 100% dh (type II anery(import) x pk albino) so we will see in a few years. Im starting to doubt that it can be done. I cant dig up anything on these buggers!!! Any help would be great. Thanks
 
im not a boa guy at all, but i thought i heard and/or read somewhere that the blizzard is a combo gene of type II anery and sharp strain albino
 
The blizzard is a type II anery X Kahl albino and no live ones have been produced yet. There are a few Dh's floating around as you know ;) So far, it seems that the genes are incompatible...

There are strains of type I and type II anery that have produced anery's proving those individual animals carry a compatible verson....maybe that's the way to produce the blizzard??? :shrug01:

I don't think anyone is trying to produce one using the Sharp strain.

Yea I recently picked up the 1.3 and was thinking of out crossing it to a type I anery.But wouldn't that defeat the purpose of making a true "blizzard"? It wouldn't be a blizzard at that point just a snow with nic influence. Plus the hatchlings would only carry 50% of the type II with them from that litter. I don't know I got a year or two to figure it out as the DH's I have are teeny. Thanks everyone. Keep it coming.
 
There are type II Sonorans, no one said that a blizzard HAD to be a Nic cross :D

What I was saying by mentioning that there are Type II's that seem to be compatible with Type I's is that it may need to be THAT strain of Type II's that is needed to make the elusive blizzard.

No one's tried to make a blizzard-type critter using Type I Nics yet. I'm not talking about Colombian Type I x Nics, I mean farmed Type I Nics. Who knows what that type of breeding would produce....

Blizzards are Anery (I or II) crossed with either albino strain. I don't know of any Nic's producing, but many Colombians have been. Pro Exotics have produced quite a few. They are rare, but they are out there.

No, "Snows" are made using Type I Colombians. And they are not that rare, the first snow boa was produced back in 1998.

"Blizzards" are different from snows in that they are using the Type II gene.

Sort of like the difference between "Hypo Snow" or "Avalanche" which is made using Sharp albinos, versus the "Moonglow" which uses the Kahl albinos. Yes, technically they are the same thing--a hypo albino anery, but they are not compatible with each other and have different names/labels to designate that.

I believe one blizzard was produced a few years back but died shortly thereafter. I hear what you're saying. A blizzard is different from a snow. Sort of like with Corn Snakes. An anery corn has some yellow in it and will produce a white, yellow or pink snake depending on the lineage. Whereas with a charcoal (Anery II) it doesn't have the reds or yellows like the anery I, so you should get a pure white corn snake. I'm assuming the same applies with the blizzard boa because the anery II's do not have the reds and yellows. I've been waiting patiently to see one produced. I'm sure in the next year or so it will be done.

Yeah, realized what a mistake I'd made after I'd posted. That's what i get for trying to post on an hour's sleep. Thank you for clearing that up. I feel stupid. I knew that, and yet I had one of those "DUH" moments.:crazy03:
 
as far as I have heard no one has produced a living blizzard.... any that existed were still born... >.>

Did you get those from a guy named Mike??
 
What kinda boa morphs do you work with? I'm just getting into them I've been into ballmorphs for a while...trying to get myself out of crested geckos so I can focus more on my high end balls my burms and now boas.
 
Does anyone know who it was that done the anery II X albino pairings.We own 8 anery II sonoran and the first pair in the world to produce them and it might be a pairing I would want to look at in the furture. I wouldn't mind bending a person's ear that's all ready done this pairing.
