I don't think it would take 10 generations to get a quasi-suri that was hypo, but maybe like me, you are picky picky and to me it might still look like a mutt. It really might take many many years before it truely looks like a suri to me personally. On top of that I agree what about all those mutt babies. There are LOTS of boas in rescues all the time (mostly colombians & mutts here in the Redwoods), and I would hate to add to that problem. But, I could never kill babies, no no, never not me. That is NOT an option to me. I'd have to give them away and hope to God they were well taken care of. I am not saying I am even planning on doing this.

I am not a purist exactly. I am not opposed to making beautiful morph suris, especially if that's the only way to get them. But, I would never cross a BCC and a BCI unless there was a good reason. I used to be a purist and have just BCCs, and before that I had boas 'who knew' what they were (in the 80s). One was a blue boa. Not blueish, but sky blue. I know for a fact that we haven't discovered all the morphs yet by a long shot.

I even used to be opposed to WC individuals too, but that is where the new morphs possibly suri morphs are going to come from.

So much for being a purist! : )
