Blond / Hypo Sonora Boas : This is a very under rated locality boa from Mexico. The first Hypo Sonora Boas came into the country via automobile & were confiscated at the Mexico / U.S. border. At that time a women named Marcia Lincoln obtained the boas via her connections with the Sonora Desert Museum and the rest is history. I was lucky to obtain a few pairs of this rare boa & have successfully reproduced them in captivity. It is not known as to where the exact locality these boas came from - but is assumed that they were caught in the Sonora desert & therefore that is why I call them " Hypo Sonora Boas". These Boas are lacking the Black pigment. This trait is also Incomplete dominant ( like all the other Hypo Boa traits ). They look similar to a Hog Island Boa but have a very unique color, far more saddles & longer heads. In 2004 I produced a few Super or Dominant Hypo Sonorans. Some look like the T+ Albino Boas. I beleive that there is something going on with this bloodline because the eyes appear lavender and the tongues are Pink -- Also the dark colors on the tails are a Lavender too. Because of it's great color & small mature size ( 5 feet ) I see great promise for this locality boa in the future. These boas also take a year or two to metamorphose into the electric orange & pink colors that they get with age ( especially the Supers - they are dripping with color - I have a camaparison between a hatchling & how it looks at 2 years pictured below ). I also beleive that this Hypo trait will be quite valuable in time because it will not affect the pattern of other boas ( like the salmon Hypos do ) & will keep crisp clean patterns when combined with say the Leopard trait. The future looks bright for this beautifull Boa.

Update July 2010: I expect a few litters of Hypo top Hypo & Hypo to Super Hypo.
