Actually I got a small group of the Ragged Isle Boas in the 1990's. A LOT of the collection was exported into the U.S. to a famous reptile dealer now retired from the selling end of it. The whole thing was a HUSH-HUSH affair as to who they went to. I gave my word I wouldn't disclose his name at the time and still decline to do so. It's my belief that Dianne Garrity the lady who actually financed the Reptile Breeding Foundation had a lot to do with the decision on who it went to. Needless to say I wound up with many of the snakes. As far as I know I probably kept and bred more of them than anyone did. Where they all are now, who knows? Personally I have tracked down and purchased as many Epicrates as I can find but there are still MANY single specimens sitting in collections doing nothing but getting older. There is a small group of us that are tracking down and buying anything and everything we can to preserve bloodlines and to continue breeding projects....Sorry for the rant and that was probably more info than anyone wanted....
