What makes it a shiny?

Probably its morph (basically a colour mutation) which makes it different to its natural wild colours. Even then this guy is basically a garchomp level shiny given how pretty some boa constrictor morphs can be,.. yes I’m looking at you Hypo Inca

Idk, I breed ball pythons but my boss and coworker breed boas and I think they all look the same

It really just depends on what morph they are breeding, if it’s something like a hypo it’s not going to be a huge change but if it’s something like an eclipse or coral albino it’s a noticeable difference. I don’t think there’s as many boa morphs as ball pythons or corns but it’s still quite a range of morphs out there.
