This kid is spectacular. I've been waiting 9 years to see Seabreeze grandbabies, and they're finally here. With any luck they'll have their first sheds by next weekend so I can give them a proper photoshoot.

Just so you know I’m aggressively waiting for my baby IMG motley boa (Burnt Toast) to finally shed so I can show the ‘increasing melanin gene’ in action because it’s such a cool concept that fits with this blog, and not simply because I need a valid excuse to post him and force you to see him with your eyes because I love him and you should too. He hasn’t even gone blue yet, so it might take a while unfortunately.

#mod talk #boa imperator #snake #reptile #selective breeding #boas grow slower than my baby colubrids :c #I could post other IMG boas but then it wouldn’t be my sweet angel baby #to be fair it’s not even been two months yet #he barely pooped last night I’m used to colubrids going once a week #just as a reminder basically an IMG boa slowly gets darker as they shed #and in combination with motley (the circle pattern) it makes for a nearly solid black snake #with iridescence #he’s already very dark for one his age I’m told #unfortunately I got my banana ball python as an adult so can’t post freckle development since bananas gain freckles as they age #his name is sweet onion chicken teriyaki (onion for short) #poptart has the best morph of all snakes ever (palmetto) so I will definitely post her

This is a document listing different snake breeds and their specific morphs that might have issues that could affect their quality of life. It is suggested not to buy these breeds as it encourages the sellers to breed more and keep the cycle going of health issues.

Corn snake

Bloodred- Immuno-compromised and weaker immune systems in corn snakes

Sunkissed- Neurological issues/ “Stargazing syndrome” (balance is uncoordinated along with moving in general and they always tilt their head up which very often leads them to just laying on their back)

Palmetto- Enlarged eyes can lead to more common eye infections and what is called “Bug eye syndrome” where their eyes are very enlarged as a birth defect and very prone to infections.

Caramel- Enlarged hearts and sudden death rate

Striped- Enlarged hearts and weakness

Lavender- In breeding lines it is more likely for lavenders to have kinked spines and not survive getting out of the egg. If one snake is proven to not have a kinked spine after birth, then it should have no other health issues.

Ball Pythons

Spider- Neurological Issues (head wobble/ “Wobble syndrome”) and very often starving to death because they cannot aim for their food right or vomit because their body will reject the food

IMPORTANT NOTE: A lot of spider morphs have been renamed and a lot go by the “Bee” morph name now or their spider genetics are masked by another trait they were bred with

Black head x spider morphs masks the spider in them, but the genes remain and make be passed to offspring or show signs later

Super spiders are lethal to the snake

Cinnamon- Neurological issues (Similar to Spider morphs)

Super cinnamons/Super Black pastels are prone to duckbill syndrome and spine kinking

Woma- Neurological issues (Head wobble)

Super Woma morphs can by the name “Pearl” which produces Neurological issues to the point of death

Champagne- Neurological issues (Head wobble)

Champagne x Super Woma produces even more severe neurological issues

Champagne x Spider is incredibly lethal

Super champagnes are lethal

Powerball- Neurological issues (Head wobble)

Spotnose- Neurological Issues (head wobble/ “Wobble syndrome”)

Champagne x spotnose makes Neurological Issues (head wobble/ “Wobble syndrome”)

Spotnose x spider makes Neurological Issues (head wobble/ “Wobble syndrome”)

Super Butters- Eye deformities and prone to eye infections

Super Sabels and Super Black pastels- Prone to duck billing (a jaw/face deformity that can cause breathing problems) and spine kinks

Deserts- producing infertile females and most snakes have reproductive issues

Caramel Albinos- severe kinking issues and fertility issues

Piedbals mixed with Super lesser Platinums or any morphs from BEL complex- small eyes and eye deformities

Bananas/Coral Glow- Sex chromosomes are sometimes messed up and this becomes an issues in breeding, but otherwise the snake should be fine on its own 

Western/Plains Hognose

Pink Pastel Albino- Neurological issues and fertility issues

Boa constrictor

Super Motley-  Weak immune systems and won’t survive past their second birthday

Super jungle- Weak livers, infertility and most likely won’t survive to their second birthday.

Super Aztec-  Neurological Issues and balance issues

Blizzard- Lethal genes that kill them

Scoria- Neurological Issues (head wobble)

Super keywest- Will die within 2 years

Super Parsons- Will die within 2 years

RLT- Will die within 2 years

Fires- small eyes, thin and small scales

Onyx/Leopard- Prone to bursting bellies if overfed

Albino- weaker immune systems and poor genetics

Albino x Albino will often produce offspring with missing eyes and other deformities

Texas Rat Snake

Leucistic- enlarged eyes and “bug eye syndrome”

Honduran Milk Snake

Extreme hypo- enlarged hearts and sudden death

Carpet Pythons

Granite- Physical deformities

Jaguar- Neurological issues (head wobble)

Super Jaguar and ivory morphs are lethal

Your new snake is cute! What does albino paradox mean? That's the morph, right? I've never heard of a paradox before!

Yep, that's a Kenyan sand boa morph!

Normal KSBs look like this:

And albinos lack melanin and only have yellow and red pigmentation, so they look like this:

And paradox albinos, like my guy, look a lot like albinos except they have random dots of melanin. Same color as albinos, same pretty blue eyes. The dots might be big or small, and there may be a lot of them or only a few.

A nice little litter dropped today, 9 babies, no slugs or stills. VPI T+ motley x Orange Tail super stripe. The level of aberrancies in these DH's is really neat. I'll update again after first shed.

there was a little trailer outside of the expo we went to today, it was for husbandry pro, a reminder/tracker app for reptile keepers. the images on that trailer were all AI generated.

#also there were a lot more hoggies and boas than what those breeders had listed online which was nice :) #i got to hold a skink named cowgirl #and i held a very cute and sweet boa and now i have baby snake fever #but he was an imperator morph :/ #(in the market for locality BCCs if anyone has recs) #reptiblr #snakes #reptiles

What do you think he named her? 👀
