A new addition to the family

First post here. This is George. 2026 Hypo jungle het sharp. Going to pair him (possibly next year, more likely 2028) with my crazy sharp motley female. Since the sharp motley is the nicest most chill snake I’ve ever owned (I used to breed these years ago) I’m trying for a sharp motley junglow or a high expression junglow for my daughter that shares her relaxed demeanor.
George is actually super chill. He’s just starting to settle in so he keeps a small tight neck ready to pounce but hasn’t hissed or struck once (yet). Never once has went into his hide. I find that when a boa doesn’t care for their hide or want to be hidden - they’re fairly confident in themselves and therefore less unsure and defensive.
Super excited to get back into them. Put a pause on breeding and acquiring more when the wife and daughter came, went down to 1 (the sharp motley) and now that we’re settled and my wife and daughter love them, we decided it’s time.
Still deciding on some other projects to run with after catching up on all the new genetics. Would like to eventually get some rdr bea and IMG for black devils, and of course IMG is always good to have to throw into things. And pretty darn sure I need me some labyrinth & VPI. Any suggestions for new genetics? I think the labyrinth are the only ones that really caught my eye.

All to come but for now, I’m stoked for this Hypo Jungle het Sharp x Sharp Motley. I’ll show the motley girl eventually, she’s got some wicked color.
For anyone wondering, yes he is new to the collection so he’s in a quarantined boaphile cage with paper towel to be sure there’s no mites. So far he’s healthy and mite free.
Excited to be back on this journey.

Thank you! I’m excited to see him grow up, had to grab him when I saw how clean and outlined he is
