That is very true I had that same conversation with my wife about people that actually have locality data on their boas and about how alot of green tree python lineages are documented.



I think the benefit there is clear since you are not dealing with a genetic mutuation the genetic background of an animal is very important. One to prove it is 100% pure and two to show what type of animals have been born from this lineage to show the quality of the genetics you are getting. In my mind it is the lack of genetic mutuations that makes the paperwork important in these animals since selective breeding is all you have to change the look of an animal.



Maybe I am just not seeing it, but I don't see where that would help in morphs. With morphs the quality can most times be seen clearly. Your best weapon with morphs is taking alot of pictures of the parents, grand parents if possible and siblings. If I see the parents are georgous and the litter is also that proves the quality of the genetics in my mind and I don't need paperwork that may or may not be fradulent.
