That does make more sense to me too Mark. Great suggestion. One parent may be causing this to pop up and not a particular combination. Then it may still be entirely spontaneous but possibly happens with some regularity in the sperm or eggs within that parent, only a very few of which ultimately become Boas.

But then what about this?: Does that parent pass on the ability to also make the occasional spontaneous Scoria? In other words, do some of the non-Scoria sibling offspring also have the unique ability to have the occasional, although relatively infrequent, Scoria baby? Hhmmmm... Now we are getting someplace. It would be nice to get Paul Hollander to chime in on this one...
