>>That comparison makes no sense what-so-ever. Why don't I just purchase a het. albino and you get one from importation and just because the one you imported looks like mine we'll call it a het. too. Are you serious? A pied is a visual morph and can easily be identified. Just because you purchase an import that has a similar phenotype does that mean it is the same morph and it will work in a co-dominant fashion as the real jungle? Is it possible to import some jungles.... Hell yeah! But it is up to you to breed that boa and prove it's genetics out. What makes things with jungles so complicated is that aberrancies in boas are not that rare so it’s fairly easy to confuse one as a jungle. You are going to get a boa in which the phenotype is not genetic and you can’t produce super forms of the trait. Why have people prove out the trait you might ask? Would you want to pay 3 to 4k for a boa that may not be what you thought?

I know your post wasnt all pointed towards my post,But before we get off the topic of bringing up this whole debate,I want to add somthing that I may not have been completely clear on in my starter post!?!I fully understand that their are many abberant boa's out their that have simalarities of the jungle trait,heck I got one!An I fully understand what step's have to be taken to prove this animal out to be,or not to be,lol!An yes their are quite a few still today that like to pass off fake jungles!But my question is,like posted above,Where are they all at?Why do we not see any imports coming in that produce these awsome babies?Or do they an we just don't hear about them?The originator's can't be the only ones,can they?Thanks Eric
