Me too.
I just read a brilliant post from the boa forum that I would like to share. I think this guy cuts to the hart of it all.
He writes:
I applaud the efforts of those who breed pure locale boas, but it will never be something anyone will use for replacing wild populations, etc. Aside from disease factors/genetic defects that might be introduced to wild populations, even though you breed for wild-type you are "selectively breeding" apart from "natural selection." Even if not specifically inbred, they would be unsuitable for release. So, I feel that breeding even if "pretty mutts" to supply for the demand in captivity so as to take pressure off of wild populations also helps preserve the locale boas. Hog X Colombians are considered "Bci" and are really no more mixed than the average pet store "Colombian." But, if you were looking to make intergrades, Suriname X Hogs ("Orange Flames" are very pretty, and I'd assume Salmontine-sunsets would be, too.
