I have many questions on what I think has become an issue.
I beleive that if you aquire animals from the two locales from TRUSTWORTHY sources the they should be promoted as such.
If I obtain Pucallpas that do not show the "typical" Pucallpa traits how does one promote their boas? If they are "typical" Iquitos looking boas is it wrong for me to say they are Iquitos when I do not know for sure?
Would it be wrong to breed these "non-typical" looking Pucallpas to Iquitos looking boas?
I think that there are so few people that have cosistently bred these animals that we base our opinions of what one or the other should look like upon what the producers have offered, I am certain that some of these breeders would have documents to prove origin, but I would say most do not. I have never been offered copies of any paper work.
Wen we really do not know should we not just be happy with promoting pretty Peruvians? Why the obsession to lable them with really no proof, obviously it is marketing in most cases.
It does not seem to me that we have this debate with our other B.c.c. I know there are some legitamate locale boas out there but for the most part we pair pretty Surinames with other pretty Surinames and the sell the babies as such.
Should we not take our Peruvians in a new direction and create lines for them such as "rose" or "psycho peaks"? Maybe that way we could just have gorgeous Peruvians. I would not be able to prove the original lineage of any of my Peruvians...I think very few of us could. Johnathan and Mike I hope you do not mind me using your animals as examples.
Having said that if I am selling Pucallpa babies who will be the one to determine their locale, In one persons eyes that could make me a liar if they think that I really have Iquitos.
In a nut shell I think we should address this issue so that we can move in a better direction with our Peruvians and the discussions about them.
These questions are intended as just that questions, I am not trying to stir anything up...I for one have posted Pucallpa and Iquitos as locales, but I could not prove it...could you?
Anyway some thoughts to ponder.
