Oops it's been awhile since I posted here so I meant to add.. (long winded)



I think your Boas are Pretty Herman, I like them. However, what are you going to do with them? Keep them "herman" pure until you one day realized you need some new Bloodlines, and treck over to South America and try to pick the location where the trapper "Told" you he found them? Than get some more bloodlines? Good luck with that one. Been there, done that, and it SUCKED... Learned a lot though.

I love the Morphs, I love the Localities, but lets be honest. All the Boas we breed in Captivity for Morph or "Locality look" we are using our Best judgment of what we THINK the female should be bred with. This is NOT what true Nature intends to do. At this point, it all comes down to what you Like and what you don't like in the looks. Bloodlines and Health of the animals should always be improved when working with morphs and localities.

If you work with them or study them scientifically, or keep and breed Morphs, or Pet Boas, it is all good to me. To each his own.

Pick what you like, but don't slam others for liking what you may not like Herman. I don't think Mr. Ronne would ever intentionally sell you bloodlines you deem to be "not pure" if he believed they were pure. He breeds morphs too, so you assume he somehow tried to deceive you. Your topics seem to draw debate. We breed common Boa constrictors for heavens Sakes. The more we can breed them and keep the demand off of the Wild with good bloodlines, the better off we are and our Boas are.
