Hypermelanistic Mutation in Boas
The Hypermelanistic mutation causes an increase in black pigmentation resulting from a high quantity of melanophores. This mutation is not well studied so the genetic inheritance is unknown, it originates...

Aztec Mutation in Boas
The Aztec mutation was discovered in a school classroom and the genetics are still being explored. The mutation results in the saddles of the boa to fuse to form blocks...

Square-Tail Mutation in Boas
The Square Tail mutation results in the thinning of the boa’s saddles which connect laterally forming thin lines down either side of the animal. The space between the saddles forming...

Stripe Mutation in Boas
The Striped mutation results in the boa’s saddles fusing to form a stripe which can run from the head into the tail, however the degree of striping is highly variable....

Arabesque Mutation in Boas
The Arabesque mutation results in the thinning of saddles which connect forming lateral stripes running down either side of the boa constrictor, a beige body coloration, and a dark tail...

Tiger Mutation in Boas
The tiger mutation produces a reduced pattern in boa constrictors. The reduction of the pattern usually does not affect the tail, these boas have fewer saddles which are very thin...

Motley Mutation in Boas
The Motley mutation cause increased black pigmentation resulting in a completely black or brown boa. This mutation is incomplete dominant and originates from both Central and South American boas. The...

Jungle Mutation in Boas
The Jungle mutation alters the pattern and color of the boa. These animals have a solid beige background color, a needle shape on their head, and reduced saddles which are...

Hypomelanism in Boa Constrictors
The Hypomelanistic mutation causes a drastic reduction in black pigmentation resulting from dysfunctional melanophores. This mutation is incomplete dominant and can be found in both Central and South American boas....

Anerythrism in Boa Constrictors
Ingrid Schoonover Anerythrism is an autosomal recessive mutation which results in the absence of the red pigment erythrin. As a result, these boas are grey, white, silver, and black. Chromatophores...
