Red intensity Rainbow Boa
How deep the ground colour is and how boldly the rings show. Selected over generations rather than carried by one gene.
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.
Red intensity 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. The iridescence this species is named for is not a colour at all: it is the structure of the scales splitting light, so it shows on every rainbow boa including the pale ones, and it cannot be bred for or away.
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.
