My "Russo Red Pastel" Boas are the product of many years of selectively breeding for Red. It all started with a very orange colored Salmon Boa that I got from Rich Ihle back in 1995. This male produced some outstanding colored offspring & I picked his best colored Babies for the future. Then in 2005 I received a beautiful Red Pastel Boa from a friend. This boa was just a pure blooded Colombian import but was very Red ( This Boa is pictured on Page 183 of my book "The Complete Boa Constrictor" ). I then bred this Red Pastel Boa to my best Super Hypo male. Fast Forward to today ( 2019 ) and I am up to 4F generations of breeding my best Red colored Hypos & Super hypos to each other. My best results thus far were from a litter born the summer 2019. These are by far my best RED colored boas. Lastly - please note that there is absolutely no "Blood Boa" blood in these Boas. The Red color they possesse is passed on genetically & gets more intense by breeding my best Reds to my best Reds. This trait is Polygenic & acts similarly to a dominant trait in that it passes on in one generation of outcrossing. However there is no super form so its just dominant ( not incomplete or Co- dominant ). 

2023 - maybe June
