The trio of breeders in Texas, my pair and the lone animal belonging to John Gunn in AZ, were bred in Argentina by another herp nut. David Fabius supplied us here in the USA with several different lines this past year. So the captive keeping of Mu's here is off to a good start.



I'm pretty sure that the only Boiruna is the maculata. Honestly I don't understand why they are so different as to deserve species level reclassification. Who knows, maybe someday they'll become Clelia again. Taxonomists are an interesting group.



As a side note, David has some Clelia rustica and Clelia bilineata.

>>Nice website - impressive collection. Do you know if the other Clelia species are now reclassified as Borunia as well?
