Description
The Hypo Jungle Arabesque 66% het. Albino (Kahl) Colombian Boa Baby is a high-contrast, pattern-rich boa for the intermediate to advanced keeper looking for a visually striking animal with strong genetic potential. This morph combines the clean, reduced pattern of Hypo with the intricate, twisting dorsal markings of the Jungle Arabesque complex, and carries a 66% chance of being heterozygous for the Kahl Albino gene. We’ve stocked this specific genetic combination since early 2024, and it’s become a consistent favorite among our repeat customers.
Stand-Out Features
- High-Contrast Pattern: The Hypo gene cleans up the background color, making the complex Jungle Arabesque dorsal markings pop with exceptional clarity.
- Proven Genetics: Sired from proven 100% het. Albino (Kahl) parents, giving this animal a 66% statistical chance of carrying the Albino gene.
- Excellent Feeding Response: Takes frozen/thawed rodent pups readily, establishing a solid foundation for growth and health.
- Manageable Adult Size: As a Colombian locality boa, it will reach a manageable adult size, typically 6-8 feet, suitable for experienced keepers.
- Investment Potential: The combination of visual hypo jungle arabesque pattern with hets offers significant breeding potential for future projects.

Your Questions Answered
What does “66% het. Albino” mean for this boa?
This animal comes from a genetic cross where one parent was visual Albino and the other was 100% heterozygous (het) for Albino. Statistically, 66% of the offspring from such a pairing will carry the recessive Albino gene. This boa has a 2 in 3 chance of being a carrier. Only breeding trials can confirm its genetic status, but it offers high-potential value for future projects.
How is the temperament of this morph?
Colombian Boa imperator are generally known for having tractable dispositions when handled regularly and with confidence. This particular baby is feeding well and shows typical neonate behavior—initially defensive but calming down with consistent, gentle handling. Always support its body fully and move deliberately.
What are the primary care requirements for a baby boa?
A secure enclosure (10-20 gallon for a neonate) with a thermal gradient of 78-80°F on the cool end and 88-90°F on the warm end, provided by an overhead heat source or under-tank heater regulated by a thermostat. Humidity should be maintained between 60-70%, with a spike during shed. Provide a hide on both the warm and cool ends and a water bowl large enough for soaking.
