Actually I have spoken to many breeders about this and am gathering as many opinions as I can before I make an intelligent decision. From what the breeders have told me throwing a male and a female together is as simple as it gets when getting them to breed, and that is the danger of keeping them together. Imperators dont need a cooling period, so even when you dont "plan" for them to breed they very often do. I already have a hog island boa female which is why I am doing the research into whether they should stay pure or whether cross-breeding is ok. And I have come to the conclusion they should be kept oure, which is why I will get another female. Don't be so quick to patronise, the whole point of this forum is to get advice from people. Thanks for yours.
