Okay, without trying to sound like a complete idiot (which I'll probably fail miserably at anyhow.), what's the difference between a jungle boa and an abberant boa?
One is genetic one is not. Okay. I've seen quite a few boas that are jungles and that look perfectly like normal boas, except for the 3k+ price tag on them. How exactly, (other then buying one from a reputable breeder) do you tell them apart?
What exactly is to say that an abberant boa you find in a personal collection, or a pet store isn't a jungle as well? Is breeding solely the way to 'prove one out'? What qualities would I be looking for if I am trying to prove out my abberant to be truely a jungle and not just another pretty normal?
For instance, the abberant boas with entire body stripes. Couldn't the parents of such offspring be het stripe? (Of course then you breed to see if what you have *is* indeed genetic, obviously?)
Please and Thank You!
