The First Blood Boas originated from a RED Boa that was found in El Salvador and owned by Ron St. Pierre. The Boa was line bred and was proven to be a genetic recessive trait. These boas like most Central American boas are true Dwarves. The Blood Boas max out at around 5 feet and have been bred at around 4 feet in length. They are very unique in head structure also. The Head is blunt and the eyes are dark. As youngsters they are literally Blood Red -- As Adults they tend to get darker burnt orange but still exhibit that blood red back ground color. This Trait is beautiful with out adding any of the genes on the market today. However, the sky is the limit with this trait & it most likely will boost the price of the stock of any other trait it is added to.

Update 2008 : I bred my Blood male to a an Orangetail Hypo het Blood & produced some outrageous Orangetail Hypo Bloods, Bloods & Hypos het Blood. I also had a big surprise with some Aneries het Blood & Ghost het Blood in this litter. Pics below. This breeding represents some very rare - pure blooded Central American Blood Boas since I used a pure blooded Orangetail to create these beauties.
