Allow me to set some things strait, as I breed both pure boa locals/subspecies and hybrids.



First of all, ALL Boa Constrictors are the same species, they are differant Subspecies. get it strait, the species name is constrictor, while the subspecies names are occidentalis, amarili, melanogaster, sabogae, constrictor, orophias, longicauda, nebulosa, ortoni, sigma, imperator, and I think I left some out.



Also, if you look at the scientific classification of boa constrictors, in respect to both imperator and constrictos the Colombian local is never mentioned. Also both are defined by scale count and the colombian scale count falls under constrictor not imperator.

Hog Island boas were never classified scientifically and have since become extinct in the wild.



Also, I do agree that some try to pass off hybrids as something else morph wise, and this makes it difficult for people like me when I am looking for stock for my projects, wether it is for a pure project or hybrids, I want to know exactly what they are.



All hybrids I produce are microchipped and marked as such.
