use the same procedure for Central American locales as we have for Colombian BCI? I'm talking aout breeding here.
I haven't had any first hand experience, so I am just putting things out on the table.
However, I've heard that C.A. females birth at 95 days P.O.S. Also, there is the issue of maturity. How are we able to determine when the female is best prepaired to breed. Some may grow to 3ft. others to 6.
Basically, should we be looking for new information to base breeding projects with C.A. boas on? Different criteria than Colombians?
Are there different circumstances for individual locales? Nicaraguas, Sonorans, Panamanians, Costa Ricans, all have become fairly available, in the case of the Costa Ricans and Panamanians newly available. So what are we looking at for captive breeding.
Any thoughts and/or ideas are welcome.
Jeremy Stone, Gus Rentfro, the Burkes, anyone with C.A. experience that they can compare to other locales or subspecies.
