" Bottom line, I agree the future of the Blood Boa mutation is red hot as we line breed the best examples we will produce better Bloods and some crazy looking designer morphs (anyone want to see a Bloody Sunglow, a Bloody Caramel/T or a Bloody Jungle ...I can't wait !!) " J Berry

The bottom line is any one of a million $45.00 central American boas can be line bred and used to produce designer animals that would smoke anything that could come from the "Bloods". That's the truth. But the rub is there's no hook doing it like that and with out a hook you can't catch the fish.

Many investor collectors have seen more web pages and Punnett Squares then animals and really don't know what a good looking snake is and that's where marketing over takes truth. Making the fish think he's getting something much more beautiful and special then it really is.

I've always felt that if an animal was all that's cracked up to be it doesn't have to be accompanied by an infomercial . The story of the emperor's new cloths comes to mind when I see some of the animals that are passed off as red hot. Ernie Eison
