BOASAZ Oct 02, 2003 01:38 PM

Anyone every done this before? What would the outcome be, a mixed pattern or just a mixed litter of suris and norms? Thanks

It has been done many times but in my opinion I think the babies dont look very good. They never look as good as a pure Suriname bcc. Thake warning! This is a sensitive subject that often time ends up in a fight between the morph breeders and the breeders of locale specific boas.

its been done too many times.... people breed the BCI albinos to suris making 50% BCI 50% BCC hets for albino....in efforts to make nicer colombina albinos. prehistoric pets had a litter last year of suri colombian mix... all babies will be a mix of the 2 snakes.

why would you want to do it is the real question?
basiclly it makes ugly surinames/nice colombians that cant be called either IMHO

I think they look nice. Boas are boas regardless of their heritage/pedagree and I like all boas.
