Great morph. pics being posted on the forum right now, and sorry to be off topic, but I'm looking for more info. on the BCL. I have read some of the history from those locale guys on the net, but my lingering question is do they all end up dark black w/ poorly defined borders? I have seen some amazing animals that are almost grey/silver with sharp black features and these are stunning. Others look extremly hypermelanistic...

I understand these boas go through pronunced color changes, so am I just seeing shots of the animal in various stages of development? Or can these animals indeed be quite variable?

Any thoughts are always appreciated.

Cool looking snake. Is that how it's pattern should stay, or is it expected to get darker and less defined?

they are variable, and they do change as they mature. here's a few of mine, my 2 adult female's are sibling's and look very different. this first pic is one fem. and the male cuddling, thing's are looking good for another litter this year

Great looking snakes as well. There does seem to be a lot of variability. Is it hard to tell from a youngster what it'll end up looking like?

Maybe someone who has bred alot of B.C.L. might be able to make an educated guess. but I can't tell. Here's a bad pic of one of the offspring from the pair above
