FIRST, let me just say, I called this to be a Leopard Mandaring Belly! not sure why but it just came to mind right away when I saw it. The jungle influence took me by surprise, and I wonder in an animal like this how can you tell which ones do or do not have Jungle, however I believe it does if the breeder says so as I am sure there are siblings in the litter that assist in differentiating.



In regards to the "NAME", because Nova already exists, and regardless of what personal opinions individuals may have about it and whether it is a proven morph with a Super example or not, or if its a line like a Lipstick, Orangasm, Pastel Dream it is ONLY RIGHT that "SUPER with the word NOVA" is not used. Furthermore there is still a possibility that indeed the Nova Boa has a Super, not sure why anyone would want to trump that process. This all boils down to Boa breeder etiquette OR ethics or whatever "gentlemenly" title you want to call it. And it ahs everything to do with dont do to someone else what you wouldnt want done to you. These sort of issues have to be nipped in the bud IMMEDIATELY as they can fester and thats a road I dont think we want to go down for the sake of the hobby (OUR PASSION). I agree that boa looks very much like the picture of the supernova anomoly, however be that as it may, I am sure there other objects in myth, nature, space or science that can resemble the look of this gorgeous animal. By the way at this point let me just say the thing is mouth watering gorgeous!



I recommended a "Valentine Boa" or maybe Valentine's Boa as they look like chocolate covered Strawberries a common snack/gift on Valentines Day. I am sure theres many names that could be given why use one thats been "taken".



My 2 cents on the matter.



Manny out!
