I just love the look of these Albino Salmons ( Sunglows ). The colors just keep getting better & better each year. I have been selectively breeding these for a few years & the results are spectacular. I also have added the Burke Lipstick line to my breeding group to improve it even more.

Update 2010: I expect a really nice litter of Sunglows & Albinos from my Coral Albino X Lipstick Sunglow. Fingers crossed for August due date

In 2005 my good friend Tom Burke bred a beautiful Coral Red Albino Boa to a Leopard Boa female & produced the first ever double hets for Albino & Leopard. I was fortunate enough to purchase a pair from Tom & Mine ( and his ) bred in 2008. Both Tom & I were again fortunate enough to produce the first ever " Albino Leopard Boas ". These boas are outrageous with unbeleivable colors. I think the pictures speak for themselves. I will be selling a few of the normal Poss double hets from my Double het Breeding & maybe a leopard poss het Albino.

Update 2010: If all goes well I expect Albino Leopards in August.

The Kubsch Pastel Boas (Pronounced Coops) originated in Germany by a man named Sylvio Kubsch. These beautifully colored Colombian Boas originated from a pair of pure Colombian boas that were related to each other. Most of the litter were these amazing looking Pastel Boas and were spread thru out a small number of breeders in Europe. These boas like all the other Pastel lines act like a dominant trait in that when bred to unrelated animals produce some Pastel like offspring. I think that these strong colored genes simply over ride the dull natural colors & hence more Pastel like boas are produced. However, The Kubsh Pastel gene has proven to be quite potent and some of the most Orange & red Pastels have been created by these Boas. The saddles on these boas are dark brown with a lot orange highlights. They have almost perfect circles down their backs and the sides are blazing orange and the head is an orange/red. The tails are a crimson red with orange highlights. One bi product of certain breeding of these boas in Germany is another trait called “Square Tailed Boa”.

Update 2010: I bred my best Kubsch Pastel female to my Best Orange Tail Super Hypo. If all goes well I may have a litter in August.

The first Leopard Boas popped up in a litter of what was thought to be normal appearing Sonora Desert Boas. These boas were in the collection of Hans Winner of Germany. Hans proved that this Pattern anomaly Boa was an inheritable recessive trait by line breeding the leopard Boas back to siblings and parents. The leopard pattern is similar to that of a labyrinth Burmese python in that is has some stripes and dashes along its dorsal area. The dorsal blotches are broken up into stripes that fade down the marbled patterned sides. The tail is also aberrant with its blotches that are broken up by dashes and dots. The tail starts out red to rust but eventually turns darker with age as does the overall background color. They have a unique feature in that some possess a gold head and some have a red chin. They also have beautifully marked faces that resemble the whiskers of a leopard & some Leopards are completely striped. Even the normal gene carriers or Het for Leopard boa have a unique appearence ( see pic below ). The Leopard Boa is also a very small boa and Hans reports mature breeding females to be just around 5 feet in length. I personally have two females that are barely 4 feet and have succesfully bred at 3.5 years of age.

Update Feb 2010 : I love Leopards - fingers crossed for leopards & Albino Leopards.

First produced by Richard Ihle of Arizona, this is one of the most beautiful Boas I have in my collection. Rich's original Salmon was a Panamaniam Boa that he bred to a Colombian Boa. The resulting litter produced the First Salmon Boas. Since half the first litter were Salmons it proved this trait to be Incomplete dominant. Incomplete dominant trait means = when bred to a normal Boa , half of the litter will be Salmon Hypos and the other half would be normals ( not heterozygous for Salmon ). Also when bred together ( Hypo to Hypo ) the result would be Half Salmon one quarter Super Salmon and a quarter normal. I have selectivley bred my Salmons for a few generations now and Im producing some OUTSTANDING Boas. My Salmons are getting very Orange and Red as Adults.

Update June 09 :  This year I bred a few RED Super Hypo pairs & produced some OUTSTANDING Red Super Hypos.
