Excellent advice both in being wary of so-called locale specific boids that are available and in getting what is most aesthetically pleasing (and manageable) for me. I have to admit that I am drawn to some of these morphs out there, but there is something about the art of keeping exquisite locale pure animals that is really appealing. There also doesn't seem to be that frantic “hurry up and breed them this season to command a higher price” attitude with the locale specific animals. As for finding these top-notch breeders, that seems kind of difficult. I am familiar with Gus’ site (although he never seems to list what offspring he has available) and with Ectotherms, but it seems impossible to locate a web site for Dennis Sargent, Rob Tudehope, etc.

One last thing, is it coincidence that some of the motleys look a little like the Pearl Island boas?
