These ones are already getting color, and some thoughts on beauty...

I checked some old baby pictures of the father, his tail was black. I can't wait to see what these will do over time! By the way, I like these "busy" patterns. Since I've been keeping boas people have been trying to tell me what is beautiful, and I suppose that's some of the fun. But the fact is, once you start trying to define beauty, you start destroying it. All of a sudden an animal which used to appear beautiful doesn't measure up because it has some speckles or a broken saddle or it doesn't have big enough "peaks" or whatever. I believe that you don't need criteria, you just have to look at them. I think that we all intuitively know what is good and what is beautiful, and to an amazing extent agree when we are not caught up in criteria, definitions, and politics. So anymore when people try to tell me what constitutes a beautiful boa I just try to smile, ten minutes in my snake room and they might well be changing their tune.
