The Normal Brazilian Rainbow Boa is renowned for its stunning visual characteristics. It typically has a base color ranging from red to orange or mahogany brown, adorned with dark brown or black rings along its back and crescent-shaped markings on its sides. The scales of this snake are iridescent, creating a rainbow-like effect when light refracts off them. This iridescence is a signature feature, making the Brazilian Rainbow Boa one of the most visually striking snakes in the world.

High Red Brazilian Rainbow Boas are selectively bred for their intense red coloration, which is not a genetic trait but rather achieved through careful breeding from high red lines. This selective breeding enhances the natural red and orange hues of the Brazilian Rainbow Boa, making them more vibrant than typical specimens. These snakes still display the characteristic iridescent scales that refract light, creating a rainbow effect. The High Red variant is particularly sought after for its striking appearance and is popular among snake enthusiasts.

High Orange Brazilian Rainbow Boas are selectively bred for their vibrant orange coloration. This morph is achieved through careful breeding to enhance the natural orange tones present in the species. These boas maintain the typical iridescent scales of Brazilian Rainbow Boas, which refract light to create a rainbow effect. The High Orange variant is particularly prized for its striking appearance, with the orange color providing a vivid contrast against the dark markings and enhancing the overall visual appeal of the snake.

The Lockwood Hypo Brazilian Rainbow Boa is a Morph, characterized by its lighter coloration due to a Recessive Hypomelanistic gene. This gene reduces melanin, lightening the snake's typical black markings to a chocolate brown. The Morph was first produced by Mike Lockwood in 1994 and is known for its rarity and distinctive appearance.

The Damm Bell Hypo Brazilian Rainbow Boa is a morph characterized by a lighter base color due to a recessive gene. Unlike the Lockwood Hypo, this morph often has darker markings, leading to debate about its classification as truly hypomelanistic. The Damm Bell line was founded by Darin Bell and Norman Damm from a wild-caught light-colored adult male.

The T+ Caramel Albino morph in Brazilian Rainbow Boas affects the snake's coloration by reducing melanin production, resulting in a caramel hue. Unlike T- albinos, which lack melanin entirely, T+ albinos retain some pigmentation, allowing for shades of brown, grey, and red to be present. This gives the T+ Caramel Albino its distinctive warm, caramel color while maintaining the typical iridescence of the species. The presence of tyrosinase allows for some melanin-related pigments to be produced, differentiating it from more severe forms of albinism.

The T- Albino Outback Brazilian Rainbow Boa is a morph characterized by its very light coloration, lacking black or brown markings, and featuring bright red eyes. This morph is a result of a recessive genetic trait, known as T- (tyrosinase-negative) albinism, which eliminates dark pigments. The first visual albinos of this type were produced by Outback Reptiles in 2014 after acquiring a wild-caught adult male and successfully breeding it. These boas are noted for their striking appearance but may have issues with photophobia due to their bright red eyes.

The Seib Anery Brazilian Rainbow Boa is a morph characterized by the reduction or elimination of red pigment due to an anerythristic gene. This morph was originally developed by Robert Seib. The Seib Anery line was combined with the Lockwood Hypo line to produce Ghost Brazilian Rainbow Boas.

The Arctic Anery Brazilian Rainbow Boa is a morph characterized by a recessive gene that reduces or eliminates red pigment. When first born, these snakes are entirely grey and white, but they develop a yellow hue as they mature. The Arctic Anery line was originally founded by Arctic Morphs in Finland and imported to the USA in 2013. There are two visual variations: one with darker brown and yellow tones and another with a very bright yellow appearance.

The Candy Stripe is a unique Brazilian Rainbow Boa morph discovered by breeder Dave Colling (aka Rainbows-R-Us) in 2011. It is a visually striking morph characterized by its unique dorsal striping. This trait is an incomplete dominant gene, leading to an aberrant pattern with reduced base color and prominent stripes.

The Super Candy Stripe is a unique Brazilian Rainbow Boa morph discovered by breeder Dave Colling in 2011. This genetic variation is an incomplete dominant trait characterized by distinctive characteristics such as: Full body striping throughout the snake's body, Dark head coloration, Pink tongue, and a Split frontal scale.

Genetic Inheritance

The Super Candy Stripe emerges through specific breeding:

Heterozygous form: Displays dorsal striping with intense coloration
Homozygous form: Exhibits complete full-body striping.

Breeding trials have shown that when two carriers are bred, approximately:

1/4 of offspring are Super Candy Stripes
1/2 are Candy Stripes
1/4 are normal Brazilian Rainbow Boas

This morph represents an exciting development in Brazilian Rainbow Boa breeding, showcasing the potential for unique genetic expressions in these already stunning snakes.

The Picasso Stripe Brazilian Rainbow Boa is a morph known for its aberrant patterning. This trait results in unique and varied striping patterns along the snake's body, which can differ significantly in expression. The inheritance mode of the Picasso Stripe is still being studied, and more breeding trials are needed to fully understand it. This morph adds to the aesthetic appeal of the Brazilian Rainbow Boa, which is already admired for its iridescent scales and vibrant coloration.

The Super Picasso Stripe Brazilian Rainbow Boa is unique due to its distinct pattern and coloration. This morph features aberrant patterns that differ significantly from other morphs, such as the Ted Thompson Stripe or Wipeout morphs, which have more defined stripes or reduced patterns.  The Super Picasso Stripe is characterized by its extreme pattern variations. Its uniqueness lies in the unpredictable and artistic arrangement of its stripes and colors, setting it apart from other Brazilian rainbow boa morphs.

The Pearl Brazilian Rainbow Boa is a morph known for its unique coloration and pattern. This morph typically features a lighter, more muted color palette compared to the standard Brazilian rainbow boa, with a pearl-like sheen that enhances its iridescence.

The Zebra Stripe Brazilian Rainbow Boa is a morph characterized by its unique pattern and coloration. It is part of the Pearl line, where the typical black side markings are removed, leaving a pearl-colored circle. In the Zebra Stripe form, vertical stripes connect the crescents and saddles, creating an intricate pattern. This morph is notable for its striking appearance, with the blending of dorsal and lateral patterns being a distinctive feature. The inheritance principles of this morph are still being studied, making it a fascinating subject for breeders and enthusiasts.

The Piebald Brazilian Rainbow Boa is a striking morph known for its unique pattern and coloration. This morph features sections of white scales interspersed with the typical rainbow boa pattern, creating a piebald or patchy appearance similar to leopard print25. The piebald pattern results from a genetic mutation that affects pigmentation, leading to distinct areas of white on the snake's body.
