First it was the Hypomelanistic...
Now it is the Jungle....
What will be next? Arabesque or Motley???
Well, let's say so far you (Herman) just see the so-call jungle looking (abberant pattern or what so ever...) There's someone who misrepresent their animals, or some wannabe jungle. However, Jungle is a proven trait, and you shouldn't use those jungle looking boas to put down a trait that is proven by some hard-work breeder and honored by the herp community. If you do it, it would be the same like people using Hitler to judge all Germanies. Another example is a morph of ball python called Pastel Jungle. It was a proven trait. However, there's someone with high gold, high yellow, blushing looking balls described their animals as pastels, and that's mislead, misrepresent, scam... The problem with you is not because you don't like morph. The problem is that you don't except the fact that you cannot judge a boa (morph or locality) by its look. They have their own character or trait. Have anyone told you that "You can't judge a book by it cover?"
Proven morph comes from trustworthy breeder. Locality comes from importer. It doesn't matter if you are interested in the U.S. market or not.
Look at the picture below. It's a F3 Hypo from Jeff Gee line. It may look like your BS (boa sabogae), but it's not a BS. It's a trait, a morph, a hard-work by a well-known, respectfully breeder, not someone who needs attention and ought to be spanked
