Inca Boa Constrictors
The Inca boa shows a bold, connected saddle pattern that runs down the tail without breaking, and each animal looks very much like the next. This traces back to one Nicaraguan boa that the Sutherlands of TSK found and bred from.
About the Inca gene
The Inca is a pattern gene for the boa constrictor. It merges the saddle markings into a single bold and connected pattern that runs through the tail without breaking. This line traces back to one Nicaraguan boa kept by the Sutherlands of TSK. When you buy an Inca, it is that connected pattern you are getting rather than a change in colour.
Appearance
Inca joins the saddle blotches into one bold, continuous band that carries through the whole length of the tail, unlike a normal boa constrictor which has separate markings. Because a two-copy animal looks the same as a one-copy animal, there is no rarer, distinct super to chase.
Genetics
The Inca morph is dominant and shows fully with one copy. A single-copy animal looks no different than one with two copies, as the Super Inca carries no separate look of its own. No known complex contains it and there is no documented allelic relationship with another boa gene. The Sutherlands' operation, TSK, Inc., first produced it from a single Nicaraguan boa. The year is not recorded.
