IMO, the only potential criticisms of that animal are that the saddles aren't consistenty shaped, and there are dorsal-lateral dashes in the "tail saddles" above the cloaca. Other than that, I feel like that Guyanese BCC is undeniably perfect. But, sometimes a perfect pattern gets old. I happen to REALLY like that animal and feel like it's one of the better babies from that litter.



As for a rating, I think it depends on the individuals purpose for the animal. If you want a breeder to pass on bold characteristics, that animal could justify a 9 . If you want a breeder to pass on a consistent pattern to the babies, you probably would rate that animal more like "average". But if you want an animal that's going to mature into a phenomenal sub adult and eventually adult, that animal is a 10! I think once that animal hits 6', the dark bold markings and impressive color will blow the majority of shield boas away a definite 10!



Just a couple different ways to look at the animal as well as my thoughts on it,
