How would someone have got to the Pearl Islands and done so? Ask yourself questions, and think logically for a moment. If someone did have one do you really think they would keep such a rare and EXPENSSIVE animal secret. Come on now. Sabogae are bragging rights. NO ONE was allowed to collect them asside from the European gentleman who runs the Serpentarium in Costa Rica. Morphologically and phenotypically Sabogae are DISTINCT from all other Boa constrictor ssp. If one made it to the mainland by smuggling it would have been noticed and C.I.T.E.S. never granted. The gentleman in Costa Rica was the ONLY person EVER allowed to collect wild Sabogae, and Rich, John, and Brandon imported animal from that captive breeding program, the first to leave it.
If you are going to make an arguement make it logical and factual. Sorry if anyone took offense to the post, I am simply trying to irritirate facts.
