    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....

So I have a male sand boa. He's anery het, that I know for sure. However, due to his coloring, there's been word he's dodoma flame het also. So I'm just wondering what genetics would be best in a female to produce some very nice babies. Any ideas?
 
If he's het for anery then I think a visual anery female would give you the best odds. Or a rufescen female would give you half tigerish looking normals and half stripes all poss het for anery I believe.

I don't know about him being het for dodoma flame. I'm not completely sure since I couldn't find a solid description, but I don't even think it's a simple reccessive trait. I believe flame is a locality thing with animals coming from Dodoma Valley in Africa. Being of the flame race generally means the animal doesn't darken up with age. The background stays colorful and the orange parts don't speckle up with brown or "fleck out" as they become adults. I was unable to find any such thing as a "het flame" when I checked...
But anyways since you said earlier it was from a random mating and you don't even know what the sire was, I don't think it would be right to label things with localities unless you were 100% sure of it's background. You might call him high orange or reduced pattern perhaps if you think it's extreme enough. Then if you're looking for an anery female, try to find another with a similar reduced pattern.

Good luck~
