http://www.boa-constrictors.com/com/com.html The "Firebellies" link on the side of the site is what I was trying to link.

Anyway. And I am just trying to make sure I understand you clearly.
No red-bellied BCI were documented collected from Roatan Island. Is that what you are saying?

Now, is Dennis' line from Roatan Island?

I know there are no Honduran Firebellies. People seem to have pulled that name from somewhere since Roatan Island is off the coast of Honduras.

Most island boas came into the US either from smuggling or researchers who collected them themselves.

If Dennis did have pure Roatan Island boas and bred them and some had red bellies, can't he then give it a name. Most "morphs" pop up this way.

Were you just saying that they shouldn't be named after him since he didn't breed them first? There are quite a few other morphs I know of that got named after the big breeders who took them on after someone else (lost in the limelight) proved them genetic.

I am NOT contesting the information you posted, I am only trying to get my own information straight. Thanks for the help.
