I usually wait til I actually receive the snake to report it but I am way too excited to wait.. LOL.. Keep in mind the snake is on it's way today and will be here tomorrow.
She is a Hypo Nic, pos het for something I can't remember at the moment.
Here is the shot the breeder sent me.. http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/532/nicx.jpg
She is very pretty. I had her picked out last week, but couldn't get her shipped due to work.
I can't wait.. LOL..
Now I'm very female heavy in the boa department. I have 4 females and 1 male.

Yeah, the red just popped out at me. It killed my paycheck for the week though.. haha. And I guess you can never have too many females. I hadn't planned on breeding her to anything but who knows. I talked to the breeder today and he was really nice.
She's damn purdy. I'd be braggin' her up too :D

My camera makes her colors look week, but that tail is wicked! She really is pretty but I don't have a white background to make the colors pop like the breeder did. :) She arrived safely and soundly this morning and is currently warming up in her tub.

All Hypos are "Het" for super Hypo. I think you may mean that she is a POSSIBLE Super Hypo. It works differently for Boas than it does for BP's. The Hypo gene in Boas is CoDom. If the parents were both Hypos, then the litter would be 25% Super Hypos, 25 % normals and 50% Hypos. With Boas there is not a distinguishable difference between the Hypos and Super Hypos, so they are listed as "Possible" Super until they are proven through breeding. A Hypo x Normal will give you statistically 50% Hypos, while a Super Hypo x Normal will give you all hypos. A lot of people are working toward Nic. Ghosts, so if she is "Possible Het." for something, it might be for Type II Anery. I have a couple of them myself. You should probably confirm from the breeder what the parents were in case you want to breed her later on.

LOL. I totally meant Pos Super Hypo. Not het. My friend quickly corrected me and I forgot that I had this posted here. I got e-mails from the breeder saying her parents were imported from Nicurugua(can't spell) and they were super hypos. I am a dork. thanks. ;)

Exactly why I say they're simple/incomplete Dominant. With Co-Dominant mutations, there are three possible, but easily distinguishable phenotypes, like with Motleys.
Nice animal regardless. You can tell she has plenty of color.
