Ok I went back and read your post again, you have very well thought out opinions and you are obviously a very decided person, with a great ability to put pen to paper.

I agree completely that it makes no financial sense to drag boas "over the mountains and through the woods" to make a couple bucks, that was not one of my questions but I am very glad that you and Ernie brought that point up. I think that knowledge will help some have more understanding.

To Eric's point about many animals that are CBB not resembling WC animals is a good one as well and a testiment to what some of the breeders are trying to accomplish, what would the chances be of Mr. incredible and Rose hooking up in the wild.


I still do believe that I will call them Suri or Guyana based on how they were represented to me. I also feel your angst about everything being called Suriname...Only my thought with only my experiance, back in the early eighties I worked in a small exotic pet shop and would ride out to the animal wholesaler to purchase reptiles and other stuff.

I will always remember that back then the animals offered as Guyana always seemed to be dark and really not too many of them.
There were always plenty of Surinams to choose from and I think possibly they just took hold of the market faster. and Suriname became the buzz word.

All this is just an offering of an opinion based on a my limited exposure to these import animals and possibly why people still to this day call or even change names to "Suriname"

I would feel safe to say there are many more people working with Suriname animals than Guyana, but I think that will start to balance out soon as I am seeing alot fantastic examples of Guyana boas popping up...Eric has that big girl that to me has it all especially contrast!!!!

Oh yeah thanks for teaching me what those little blue lines and crumpled up paper look are on a topo map! LOL... can you tell me how to see the tree's? Ha!

Thanks for your time and cotribution JB

Be well
Joel
