I agree with most of what you said. I too have bought and still have imports, they are great I would not trade them for anything. We really have no right to take these animals from the wild and I would not miss being able to buy imports although if I saw a smokin import suri in the classified ads then I would look into buying it. It's like a bad habbit that you cant quit. There are plenty of boas in this country right now and to quit importing would not effect being able to produce new morphs and locals it would actually improve it and the demand would raise. Now it is not about the money for me but look at normal BCI babies, I had a really hard time selling them at a loss so it tooks a few months and by that time I was willing to take the next offer I could get so they would not eat more than I could afford.



When I have more cages I would love to buy a pair of pure N Brazilian BCC's to raise and breed. These boas have not been imported for a long time now (that I know of) so they are a little rare when compaired to other BCC's. They would be my prized pets/breeders they would be very special to me and the fact that they are no longer imported would make them very important for me to reproduce them so others can enjoy them. The look of the boas would not be as important to me if they were pure brazilian.



Sorry for the long rant
