Well I just thought I'd add my 2p's worth on the subject of erythrism. I was lucky enough to spend 2 years doing research in the Dominican Republic. I saw hundreds of Epicrates striatus, usually a pretty 'ugly' looking boa. Well, in one location I observed a high percentage of what one would have to call erythristic animals. However, interestingly these varied between being orange and black (as you mention for the B.c's) and deep deep red and black. Honestly they were incredible, especially the deep red ones. I have some photos somewhere. I know of one breeder in Europe who has them. One day they'll make it onto the 'scene' I'm sure.
