Hypo San Matías Rosy Boa
Hypo San Matías Rosy Boa – Ghost Silver from Northern Baja
The Hypo San Matías Rosy Boa is a striking line-bred trait based on the San Matías locality (Lichanura trivirgata gracia), developed from pure northern Baja stock. Believed to be a recessive or co-dominant trait, the Hypo line dramatically reduces dark pigment, creating animals with an extremely bright white to silver base and faint orange or peach striping that seems to glow against the pale background.
Some individuals display an almost vanishing pattern effect, where the striping softens or fades entirely into the shimmering silver body color. The overall look is crisp, clean, and luminous—making the Hypo San Matías one of the most visually distinctive rosy boas ever produced.
These boas maintain the calm, steady temperament typical of San Matías animals and thrive in captivity. Their unique combination of high contrast, soft coloration, and potential recessive inheritance makes them both visually stunning and genetically intriguing.
Line origin: San Matías locality, Baja California, Mexico
Genetics: Line-bred trait (believed recessive; pure San Matías base)
Species: Lichanura trivirgata gracia (Baja Rosy Boa)
Highlights: Silver-white base • Faint orange striping • Possible recessive trait • Vanishing-pattern effect • Calm and reliable feeders
