Not to start anything but I am just curious. When I first began collecting Red-Tails about 23-24 years ago I was in contact with many of the more serious collectors at the time.....and anytime anyone would mention crossing a BCI into a BCC you would just about get your head chewed off at the very least......and this went on for MANY MANY YEARS.......even Jeff at one time gave me an earfull about 10 years ago in regard to this too....

Basically everyones opinion was to keep everything pure.


Now-a-days everything is being crossed into everything and I understand that this is one way to make new morphs, but what happened to the "Old School" methodology? Pretty soon we wont be sure what kind of boas we have anymore.............

Unfortunately without this type of crossing certain morphs would not exist........i.e. Roswell.....which is an amazing snake in its own, but again its a hybrid of the different subspecies ( Suri X Col )




Just wanted to get others opinions on this subject




The snakes are nicely colored by the way........should make for bright albinos.
