Several months ago, I ran into this Import male " the light pink one pictured. "



He had a fairly scarred up head, but I seen something in him, that was worth some effort.



He reminded me of what some use to call Brazilian many years ago

and had a shorter tail than typical Surinames and the head shape

and body structure also applied.



In fact, he came right out of a Suriname shipment and has been a

real Champion and has only gotten better.



Then, I found this female " pictured with the more gold/yellow coloration. "



She was and still is pretty gnarly, but I see something in her that is quite stunning.



She has a big old scar were the tail bands start and her head is scarred and the tip of her tail also bitten off.



At one time in her life " in the wilds of Suriname " she had a heck of a battle with something!



Beneath all of that, she looks allot like the male and I see a Boa, that in a few months will turn a beautiful orange and pink and gold girl.



Neither one will ever have thin and uniform saddles " Big Deal and Who Cares, " but when I see them, I see two Boas that are going to be striking in coloration and could one day produce some stellar offspring.



This Labor of love with these two, will pay off either way.



So, this is the " Gnarly Boy " and " Gnarly Girl. "



However, these two Ducks, will one day be Swans.
