Not really it still starts with good animals before anything else. The main reason anybody breeds diamonds , first and foremost is because they have access to good animals from the start. With diamonds you get cb's. Then take it from there. Diamonds are a whole different deal.

It's the opposite of the boelens. Most started with problem WC animals . A lot of boelens guys get cops easy but no ovs . That's the real hold up. Its hard to get WC females to go there`s not many options . I don't know how many people have tried with captive raised females.

Lots of people breeding mandarins these days. Not like corns but still like a lot of colubids. It's not very specialized . Once people got a hold of the CB mandarins it got a whole lot easier. It might happen that way with Boelens.
