Amarali are probably the most sensitive to any husbandry mistakes. Some do well, others never have the chance. I havn't really heard anything about North Brazilians, but Bolivians and South Brazilians do have some inherent problems that are most likely the cause of sub-par husbandry. However, some are born pukers; Others come out of the egg sack, never do well and wither away. I just lost this one, who was healthy for the first 6 months, and just did a complete 180. Nobody knows what happened, she literally lost all muscle tone and withered away. She did act like a normal Boa till' the day she passed. Others from the same litter are doing fine. Its just one of those things you have to deal with when keeping these guys.
