Is the "Mocha Boa" a Scoria Boa?

We may never know. Visually they look to be the same thing in every way. I had seen all the Scoria in the flesh two years ago after the first litter of more than one babies were born. They are a little bit variable for sure and not exactly the same as each other. I am sure that Jeff is able to tell them each appart easily.

Are they the same genetic anomaly? Until the Mocha is bred and proves to produce offspring in the same manner, that question will remain up in the air. Further, since the Scoria was bred and proven first, I would be of the opinion that the "Scoria" name would be the name that would take precedent in this case. So regardless, I think "Scoria" it is.
