Hey Guy first a quick question to you then below a short statement response to another part of your post.

>>> a breeding that has been done 212 times now. Boas are variable...

I'm confused Is this some random number or have the Burkes seriously done 212 lipstick line breeding's ?

>> there will be nice looking ones and average looking ones in a litter. If you take the nicest and slap some silly name on it in an effort to sell more of them... good for you.. it's called marketing, but to try and claim it's anything more than that is silly.

Yes although you must admit certain lines Like "Lipstick Line" and others continuously produce many extremely nice Boas . Certainly with Lipstick Line you see more and better Sunglow Boas than the other 100's and 100's of Sunglow Boa breeding's out there.
Of course there are sporadic nice Boas that pop up from unknown Lines. It seems to me certain Lines consistently produce better Boas more often. There only seems to be really a handful of true and tested consistent great Boa Lines. So through selectively breeding the nicer Boa lines, a person can continue to propagate great Boas as opposed to generic bland Boas .
