    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....

Name This Boa Morph?!

Hi all,
I am fairly unfamiliar with boa morphs, especially any in-depth ones.
So....looking for this Beautiful female Boa Morph to be identified.
She is NOT for sale (Hence not in classifieds) but I would still like to know.
What throws me for a loop is her tail stripe.
Thanks for your input!

Thanks.
What do you mean by low expression? As in not prominent but possibly visible?
Although I couldn't guarantee without pairing and proving it out, my comparing with pictures pointed towards a Jaguar DRS but I picked her up at a Repticon free from a rescue last year. She was significantly underweight but free of disease, pests, or any other visible issues. The rescue operator is a friend of mine and we both knew she wasnt a normal by any means and that even if she was, the elongated tail stripe made "Tessa" one of very few pet snakes I now own.

What would she be worth, she's been slow fed to get her back to weight without overloading her digestive system and now sits at a more appropriate 1100grams or so and probably Around 2 or 3 years old so another year and I'm gonna start debating on breeding her.
 
looks like a nice normal with some reverse striping.

Reverse striping is generally a line bred trait (meaning if the parents show the trait, it's more likely that the babies will). It's been a while since I read about it as this trait didn't interest me but I recall Jaguars (and Tigers) were called co-dom and the striping called recessive and then others saying none of that was true, it's all line-bred. I'm sorry I can't offer more than that. I would not call it a Jag unless you knew it came from a Jag line regardless of how it breeds out. I also believe those lines started in Central American boa lines. I've also seen lots of reverse stripers pop up in hypo litters.

Either way, it's a pretty boa, good luck with her! Kudos to you for rescuing her.

Regarding value, only what someone would be willing to pay. Could be $500, could be $100, could be you couldn't give her away. I may be slightly jaded after all these years. :)
