My opinion on the subject of mixed bloodlines. There have been very small numbers of Rainbow Boas exported out of Peru. Most of those snakes have been Brazilian Rainbow Boas exported from the Iquitos area. They have scale counts like the Brazilian Rainbow Boas from Brazil and Surinam. When those snakes are bred to Brazilian Rainbow Boas in captivity they do no real harm to the purity of our captive Brazilian Rainbow lines. We have practically no locality data for any of our BRBs anyway and their range is very large. However, some of those Brazilian Rainbow Boas exported from Iquitos Peru have been represented here as Peruvian Rainbow Boas and so get bred to the very few real Peruvians in the US so that US lines of "Peruvian" Rainbow boas are likely to be impure.
