>>I think all of you need to open your mind and realize that the VPI line has WIDELY varying degrees of color and have been manipulated and refined the most!! I'll agree with you that the VPI line is wonderful and unique but did they look like that right off the bat? No buddy, they looked Bone white washed, with dark brown and even Black!! My opinion isn't a unbiased one because Ive invested in ALL except for the Russian's, and I have seen all types in person!!

>>How long have Paradigms been around..... 5 years. Thats it! Trust me contrary to wherever you got your info that Paradigms don't look amazing as adults your wrong. I have SEEN Paradigms that compete with Pink Panthers. Dont believe me? Go to basicallyboas.com and look.

>>Caramels.... How many have you seen? How many have been produced? Caramels are sick bro and without any refining have they most varied and amazing colors. Given the time and through selective breeding they'll be on par with the best from ANY strain.

>>Russian's... If you would LOOK at the pics out there and the one just posted, you would see some really beautiful animals. I don't think they look there best until there adults, but they still turn out exceptional. From the picture that Zenzina posted i could see no "Brown"

>>I'd be really careful when you say one is the "Cadillac", or its "No comparison." It sounds ignorant and your not seeing the bigger picture. Also try not to knock something simply because you might have bought something else!!



I agree and would like to add.

What makes a T positive ? just a lack of tyrosinase that doesn't allow the double oxydation needed to produce black pigment. It doesn't work like hypo boas that reduce areas where black is present, it mainly modify the colors of the area where there is black pigment. That's why inside all the different 'colombians' bloodlines there are big differences, like in any classic boa litters. Less black, more collorfull and lighter the bloodline used is, better the T positive will be, no mysteries!!
