Don't mean to stir up debate, and I really don't care, but are you saying that the Original Motley was Argentine? I have cross bred a lot of Argentines, and I'm quite sure the Original Motley was not a cross. Motley has popped up in Mexican, Colombian, Argentine, and a few regions in Central America. It just pops. The story just doesn't make sense to me, and I may not know what you are talking about, but I think it sounds rather silly to smuggle some Boas into Colombia from Europe or India area just to send them to a Europe Country? That's A lot of work, and I would think it much easier to send anything from India to Europe. It could all be a "good story", I don't think it applies to the Motley Colombian and My founding Male Norman. I agree with what Johnathon Brady has said in a Post I wish I could link to my Site on Pure Breds and crosses. Everyone should read it!!!!!!



The Truth is anytime you Import/Export or Keep/breed/buy/sell a Boa Constrictor "Regardless of where it comes from" We are required by Laws of CITES to Guarantee that the Animals are NOT to be released into the Wild and are considered Out of the Ecosystem of their Natural environment. We as keepers would NEVER release them. And Cites laws apply to all countries that allow them to be kept in Captivity. Also, it is nearly Impossible for anyone to pick a bloodline from the wild unless they caught a Pregnant female. Even with those bloodlines, you would never know where the Male came from. Most females are bred by 3 to 20 different Males in a Wild Cycle. To determine exact bloodlines is very very hard to do from Wild Caught Animals. Once they are bred out of the Wild, they are just the product of our own personal enjoyment.
