I have had conversations in the past with people that describe widows Peaks on " supposed Peruvians " as a sure indication of them being crossed with something else and of course my response to most of them in several instances has been that; " That is a rediculous assumption, " but to what extreme??

Take the Peruvian Boa pictured, it is no doubt as pure a Peruvian as there is, but I find it hard to believe, that some people will flat turn down a Peruvian if it has these Widow Peaks.

First of all; " These are not widows peaks on a Peruvian like this. "

Small bumps or " Peaks as some call them, " on Peruvian saddles, is pretty typical and more common, than not.

Now this is not a debate on wether are not people are entitled to their personnal likes are not; " we are all entitled to our likes. "

However, at what point do we draw the line in order not to allow this to get rediculous?

I have to admitt, I have seen several " Peruvians " as of late, that do have some pretty noticeable peaks and even a few, that would rival an above average Peaked Suriname or Guyana.

So what makes me laugh is a few things.

One, Peaks seem to be the Big New Age Deal when it comes to Surinames and Guyanas, so how come so many are repulsed by them, when they are seen on " Peruvians? "

I have plenty of pictures taken in the wilds of Peru and several show wild Specimens from Peru, with pretty bold peaks, BUT BUT it does not seem to be a very common trait and one that I do not prefer on a Peruvian, but I would never look at a Peaked Peruvian as if it was garbage or worthless, if it indeed did have Peaks and that is the difference for me.

Will we EVER, get back to appreciating these animals for their individual beauty and singular characteristics?

Don't know?

Be Blessed, John J
