Colour phase Garden Tree Boa
Where an animal sits in this species' enormous natural range of colour — grey and brown garden phase through to orange, red and yellow.
How it is produced
- Where it comes from
- This is not a single gene. It is produced by choosing which animals to breed, over generations.
- What that means for breeding
- No offspring percentage can be given for it. Breeders judge it by looking at the parents.
Offspring odds
No numbers for this one.
Colour phase is produced by selective breeding over generations, not by a single gene, so no offspring percentage can be given for it. Breeders judge it by looking at the parents.
Worth knowing. A single clutch can contain garden-phase, orange, red and yellow animals from the same two parents. The colours are not single genes and no offspring percentage applies to them, so a breeder judges a pairing by what the parents look like and what their previous clutches produced.
What this rests on
Established by breeders through repeated crosses and recorded in community documentation, not by published genetics. That is how almost all morph inheritance is known — and it is worth saying rather than presenting it as laboratory fact.
