I also used to do a lot of breeding and then cut way back to a few projects for about 10 years. And you are right there are a lot of morphs but it is also a great time for normal locality specific boas. I remember 10 or 12 years ago my wife was absolutely in love with Surinames, bright red tails and a wash of pink. At that time there was no way I could afford them and, even if I could, they were extremely hard to find. Now I have a pair that are prttier than the ones I couldn't afford back then and a pair of nice yellow peruvians too, all without breaking my budget. I am amazed too at some of the other things that are available. I used to import Mandarin Ratsnakes 20-25 at a time and feel lucky it 2 or 3 of each batch survived. The goal of course was to get a healthy colony and provide the first captive bred ones. Well that fell through, I sold what I had, and I am glad to see that, even though I didn't do it, there are plenty of healthy captive bred Mandarins on the market today. There are lots of other examples but this is already too long. All I can say is it is a great time to be getting back into herps!
