I think there may be several reasons, but i'll name three...

perhaps their attitude as youngsters is a turn off, but this is misleading! They may huff and they may puff, but they will NOT blow your house down! They won't even strike most times!

these days it seems many are moving towards smaller, and dwarf boas, as well as those with bright colors that stand out... bco do not fit either description...

and last but not least, they need to be cooled significantly more to be bred - down to temps that would more than likely give bci or bcc an RI. This makes overall breeding of this ssp a little less appealing and a little less successful.

But I think they are great!


Take care, Joe
