The founding male boa exhibiting the Super
Stripe trait was field collected as a young animal about eight years ago.
The origin is Central American and indicative of some island form boas not
unlike the
Crawl Cay boa. Large, dark eyes and an elongated head
are pronounced features. The body build of this boa line is slender
compared to common Boa constrictor constrictor. The adults are
approximately six feet long. Through line breeding this trait has been shown
to pass on as simple
recessive. The Super Stripe boa is an extremely rare and beautiful
proven striped boa line. Three cream colored stripes overlaid on a wide,
nearly black dorsal background characterizes this morph. All three
stripes show a high degree of consistency and near perfect symmetry from the
back of the head almost to the tail. We plan on combining and expressing
the trait with super-hypo and albino.
The results of the siblings being interbred will surely produce yet another
superb boa morph.
