doesn't warrent species or subspecies statis. It should also be noted that Hog Islands were never classified as imperator, no subspecies label was given to them.

Think of each locale as a different race of the same species.

While I do think that the Boa constrictor complex is not well classified, I do not feel that each locale phenotype deserves its own status. My main defense to maintain purity of bloodlines. I don't see anything wrong with integrades or hybrids, but pure stock should be maintained in captivity for every locale possible.
