So, the baby's asleep and I'm awake, and I have a few minutes to address your outdated (the newest is 2.5 yrs old, the oldest is 4.5 yrs old) & out of context quotes.



Keep in mind that your quotes are all within the last 2 months, are obviously intentionally inflammatory (trolling, IMO), & not backed up by any level of actual hands-on experience.



>>"As for your question..."



This quote from over 4 yrs ago was CLEARLY taken out of context for your use. This thread doesn't refer to Guyanese BCC AT ALL. It refers to BOAS as a whole. The OP asked why older boas don't get shown on the forum much because he had heard that 1/2 of all imported boas have IBD. I stated that as boas age, they usually darken. That's true. Compare any baby to it's adult version & the colors are darker.



>>"Finally, I realize that..."



This quote from 4.5 years ago was also CLEARLY taken out of context. Again, this wasn't referencing purple GUYANESE BCC, it was boas in general. The OP asked what people look for in a project. Several people posted really good "checklist" items & I added 8 items to the list. This was the last. And you left out the end: "I've seen some VERY dark animals that I find attractive, but for the purposes of my very small collection, I want animals that stay a shade lighter than average."



>>"That's boas for you! They all darken and yellow/brown up to a degree, it's just a matter of how much...".



More of the same from you. Old and out of context. NO reference to Guyanese BCC specifically, just "boas".



>>"In my experience with BCC's, the purple animals tend to darken a LOT as adults".



This one from 4.5 years ago is about all you've got. I had a LOT less experience then than I do now. I had 2 BCC that were purple and dark. In the other post, I shared 2 that are purple and light. Also, I've met a LOT more people, seen a LOT more collections, produced a LOT more animals, and RAISED several more PURPLE boas. My opinion has changed (as they should with time/experience). The vast majority don't darken a LOT - some do though. Pretty much like any other boa.



So there ya go. Even though your post had basically no merit, I addressed your concerns EASILY while battling exhaustion and sleep deprivation. Now, quietly disappear back under the bridge.
