I bought a pair of columbian boas from a friend and I would like to know if my female is a morph? My male is insanely bigger than the female and they are both 8 I bought a pair of columbian boas from a friend and I would like to know if my female is a morph? My male is insanely bigger than the female and they are both 8 years of age. Male is 8 feet and about 40 pounds and female is 6 feet and about 30 pounds. They have lived in the same enclosure together for their whole lives and to my knowledge have only bred once. Should i keep them in the same enclosure? its 2 levels and it is about 6 feet long, 2 feet deep and 4 feet high. My friend has bred them and she had 16 babies and two of which were albinos. I only think she's morph because her pattern is a little different and she is very light colored. I don't think my male is but would like to know what you guys think! Thanks, Chase.
It will only let me upload one picture so if you would like to help me out and see different angles, tail, etc.. Let me know.

If they produced albinos, then they're both het for albinism. Aside from that, the picture just looks like a normal Colombian.

:iagree:
Also it's hard to tell in the photos but they do look like normal Colombians, one being a lighter shade or such is normal, boas are highly variable. some are more pink, some more yellow, some more brown, some highly speckled, some very clean, etc.

I'd also separate them, snakes in general are much better off when housed by themselves, both from a stress level as well as for the keeper to be able to monitor sheds, water intake, etc.

Good luck with them!
