Does anyone know what happened with the Striated boa project between Bob Clark and Mike Wilbanks?

I believe Brian Sharp co-owned that boa. There used to be pictures of it in the back of Vivarium magazine. If you have an old issue you can probably find a pic. Of course, one of the current projects I'm anxious to buy into is the "scoria" or pink patternless boas. Those are beautiful too. Take care

I spent many nights writing Bob Clark trying to find out the progress of that striated boa. I was anxious as ever to try to get my hands on soem offspring. Weeks went by with no answer from Bob, finally he wrote back. It had passed away without ever reproducing. All of the multi-colored genetic crosses with that snake will have to be left in the imagination. That thing was incredible wasn't it?

That snake, and Jeremy Stone's Pearl Boa are lost forever. I hope we don't see that happen with the Leucistic as well. Brazilian law makes things very difficult, even for the Zoo to breed the animal, much less someone being able to bring it into Europe or the US.

Thats the REALLY COOL part of third world law!!
Cant budge'em and that animal is safe!

Regardless of personal opinions. I can't believe you consider Brazil a Third World country.

If you live in America, you look at any nation that doesn't speak English as being a third world country, and some nations that DO speak English.

this clown called me anal because I was correcting someone that thought his snake was a morph,but was actually one of those C.A. locales.If you do not like morphs,then move on and do not even look at the thread!!!! Your opinion means NOT!!

certain. It was a rough translation, but since it is a native animal Zoos are the only ones legally permitted to keep them and they must have permits to breed the animals.

to have a leucistic boa in captivity and never see it bred.

There is also the possibility it might not breed. The two pure Suriname Albinos still haven't bred.
