Is this Guyana Average????

On a scale from 1-10

Thanks,

IMO, the only potential criticisms of that animal are that the saddles aren't consistenty shaped, and there are dorsal-lateral dashes in the "tail saddles" above the cloaca. Other than that, I feel like that Guyanese BCC is undeniably perfect. But, sometimes a perfect pattern gets old. I happen to REALLY like that animal and feel like it's one of the better babies from that litter.

As for a rating, I think it depends on the individuals purpose for the animal. If you want a breeder to pass on bold characteristics, that animal could justify a 9 . If you want a breeder to pass on a consistent pattern to the babies, you probably would rate that animal more like "average". But if you want an animal that's going to mature into a phenomenal sub adult and eventually adult, that animal is a 10! I think once that animal hits 6', the dark bold markings and impressive color will blow the majority of shield boas away a definite 10!

Just a couple different ways to look at the animal as well as my thoughts on it,

Here is the number one animal in my opinion from the litter...

Light and dark phases

Dark/Stress Colors

Really love the variety in the litter 25% of the litter was Striped.. Plan on finding out if that is genetic or just a common trait of the locality..Fun Stuff wish i had space to keep them all back, but I don't...

Thanks, For your well thoughtout response JB
