About
An incomplete dominant trait that displays as dorsal striping in het form (“Candy Stripe”) and creates an aberrant pattern with base color reduction in the homogenous state. [1]
History
Rainbows-r-us-reptiles: In 2007, a local girl produced a litter of baby Brazilian Rainbow Boa’s that showed some promising dorsal zig-zag striping. She brought them over and I bought 1.1 of them at 4 days old. My intent was to raise them up in hopes of working out a line of zig-zag striped Brazilian Rainbow Boas.
I bred these two together in 2011 and I do track all the breeding details so I had an estimated due date of 10/12/2011. I was watching her, she was clearly gravid. I was still hoping for more zig-zag stripes but was not thinking this litter to be anything super special. I was oh so wrong.
On 10/08, four days before her due date, I walked into the BRB room to find find Zoe’s cage door all fogged up and this little gem in the corner on the right side door hinge.
I saw some normal ones slithering around and then spotted this other odd looking baby on the left side hinge.
As I was pulling babies I find four FULL stripe babies…
11/05/2012 - Zoe and Ziggy had a second litter of babies with more Super Candy Stripes.
