Part of the satisfaction of finding the "truth" is learning to understand the "whys" along the way. What happens all too often in our rush to explain something new,is that we tend to jump to premature conclusions,especially in this facet of the hobby. Money,and marketing,along with other factors lead many people to accept things,that later prove not to be true...then it becomes extremely difficult to get the majority of people back on track,or for some to even consider re-examining what they have been told is the "truth". I've been saying for quite some time now,if we cannot understand the simple things we've already encountered,and fairly thouroughly investigated,it will be nearly impossible to comprehend the things we will likely find in the very near future,as we begin to combine them.(look how many experienced,successful breeders still refer to het. hypos as "co-dom.'s" ) We are standing at the edge of a major change in the hobby,but I think it's a great time to be involved in breeding boas!
