after reading some of the previous posts I would think it would be... well more of a burden to the hobby. And also in the AKC and so on they have specific guidelines for every breed as to how they should look (as oppose to dogs het. for snow and such). In the reptile hobby who is to say what should be the standard??? And also dogs don't have litters in the 30's and above so tracking specific pedigrees is not as hard as it would be for every snake born (I’m assuming this would apply to all species of snakes and not just boas). I feel that anyone could say yeah this is a pure bred Hogg or yep their parents were het. T positive or whatever. As long as you have documentation from the breeder of where your collection originated from what more do you need? I think people who sell fake hets have learned that there is no point now and days. Also I thought something like this was formed a couple of years ago and never caught on?
