Our main Boa focus is on dwarf Central American  locality Boa morphs.

Pure Blood Boas - original Blood and Berry Blood lines

Recessive mutation: The only mutation which adds reds.

Our Blood Boas are our absolute favorite boas. We are working with both the the original El Salvador bloodline plus our own Berry Blood line which is from Nicaragua.

All of our Bloods are 100% pure Central American without being out crossed with any Colombian or other locality boas, so they stay small and retain the look and color of pure Bloods.

Blood boas are true dwarf Boas. Our breeding males are around 3.5 to 4 ft and our females are maxed out at around 5ft.

Central American Caramel Albino Boas

Recessive mutation: Caramel Albino boas are tyrosinase positive. They can synthesize tyrosine but not melanin. The result is purple or pink color overall wash and saddles with no virtually no black, but rather a purple color around the saddles. Also referred to as T+  or xanthic boas. As they mature, the colors deepen to produce pinkish, ghost like looking adult boas.

We are working with a new line of insular CA Carmel Albino Boa (Boa constrictor imperator) plus some CA Hypos het T+.

The caramel gene produces a very clean looking snake and will be a major ingredient in future CA dwarf designer morphs like Caramel Glows and Caramel Blood Boas plus T+ Sunglow CA Boas.

Hypo & Super Hypo Nicaraguan Boas

Co-dominant mutation: Hypomelanistic Nicaraguans (Boa constrictor imperator) have reduced black pigmentation which allows their red colors to show through. They are highly variable in appearance. The Super Hypo (middle photos) is produced from a Hypo to Hypo breeding.

Like most Central American Boas, Hypo Nicaraguans don't grow very large with males around 3.5 - 4ft and most females around 5ft in length. They can be kept in a large rack system which makes them very easy to work with.

 

Hypo Nicaraguans are a key mutation to producing pure CA designer morphs like the Nicaraguan Ghost (below), CA Bloody Hypos or Nicaraguan T+ Sunglows.

 

 

Ghost Nicaraguan Boa

Recessive x Co-dominant designer morph: Produced by breeding a pure hypo Nicaraguan boa with a type 1 anery Nicaraguan boa. The sire (bottom picture) is a hypo, het for type 1 anery.

The first Nicaraguan ghost boa was actually a farmed or wild caught baby imported into the USA. Since then less than a dozen have been produced in captivity.

We intend to grow our female ghosts and breed them back to a Hypo, het Anery male to produce some Nicaraguan super ghosts (super hypo x anery).

 

 

  

 

 

Orange Pastel Nicaraguan Boa


Unproven mutation: Nicaraguan boas are some of the nicest dwarf boas around with no two looking alike.

We are working with a nice group of Orange Pastel looking Nicaraguan females .... we plan to breed them with our Hypo Nicaraguans, CA Motleys and Berry Blood line, which also originates from Nicaragua ... should make for some great new CA designer boas.

 

 

T- Albino Central American Boa  (Boa constrictor imperator)

Recessive mutation: There are currently no known true Central American T- Albino boas. So this intergrade is the closest to an actual Central American T- Albino.

This is a 50% Central American, 50% Kahl Colombian Albino. Produced from breeding two double het Blizzards (Mexican Type 2 Anery x Kahl Colombian) together producing a smaller T- Albino Bci.

By breeding this line back into our other dwarf Central American lines, we will eventually have 75% CA dwarf Bci.

 

 

 

 

 

Central American Motley Boa

Co-dominant mutation: This is the proven Central American Motley (Boa constrictor imperator)  line.

These mini Motley boas are a major pattern mutation. Awesome in their own right with highly aberrant patterns and clear bellies. When added to other color mutations they will help create some of the most sought after mini Designer morph boas.

The super form is the all black, Central American Super Motley.

 

 

 

Central American Tiger Boa

Codominant (or incomplete dominant) mutation: CA Tigers are a codominant Designer boa with varying degrees of genetic reserve striping.

These are one of the smallest Central American boa morphs. They originate from Honduras.

 

 

Salmon/ Hypo Boa

Codominant (or incomplete dominant) mutation: Salmon/Hypos are a major foundation building block for many Boa mutations. Although there are several lines of Salmons or Hypos, they all originated from Colombian Bci bred with natural Panamanian Hypos. Most don't grow as large than your typical Colombian Bci.

 

 

Anery Type-1 Nicaraguan Bci


Proven Recessive mutation: Anerythristic boas lack red pigmentation.

There are two types of Central American Anery  - Type 1 (light tail similar to the Colombian Anery gene) and the darker Black tail (type 2 Anery).

The Blizzard project that produced the Albino below was attempted with Type 2 Anerys. Our CA Ghost project was started with Type 1 Anerys.
