    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....

thanks for the picture but i have seen alot of boas advertised like mine as hypos isnt there any varing degrees of hypoism? by true definition of hypomelanisticism it is just reduced black i guess when i breed her i will find out because that is the only true way to be sure isnt it? not trying to sound like i know it all but just trying clear things up that i have heard. again thanks alot
 
There are but that one looks more like a pastel to me than a hypo.
 
There are many varying degrees of coloration for boas. I have a female that is very similar to the pic you posted, and both of her parents (whom I owned) were normal colored Colombians. I would hesitate to "label" her anything other than a beautifully light colored boa.
 
no i do not normally i am Leopard gecko guy but i am broadening my horizens with other species and i have only had like 4 boas and all were normal and this on was given to me by a local guy who coulnd have it in his new apartment all i knew was this new boa was considerably lighter than any of the other boas i have ever had or seen in person so thought the possibility was there it was a hypo but after doing some more research i dont think she is anything more than a really nice looking normal.
