Free dispersal of information... something that's been overlooked...

Jonathan_Brady Nov 03, 2003 04:51 AM

I've had a few questions answered on this forum, and I've answered 10x that many (easily). But I think what has been overlooked as a valuable source of information is that which is most common on this forum. Pictures! Boa taxonomy is perhaps the most underresearched and indefinite part of this hobby and I think by all of us posting pictures of our animals, it provides a knowledge base of various sub-species that none of us could have found on our own. Personally, if it weren't for this forum, I wouldn't be able to distinguish a bcc from a bci from a bca, much less a Peruvian from a Suriname. Especially having only about 2 years in the hobby!
So, to those that would like to say that this forum is nothing but a picture posting frenzy full of oooh's and aaaah's and nothing more, I respectfully disagree and ask you to spend a little time looking a little closer. You may even try participating, you'd be surprised what you'd learn when you're part of the "clique" (and yes, it is spelled "clique", "click"-ing is what you're doing to your mouse on this forum for endless hours each day hehe). Have a great day, I'm off to start my morning. And by the way, I fully expect to receive a nice education from this forum when I get home tonight! So post a TON of pics

I'm going home for lunch, and I'm going to snap some pics of my WC Suriname pair that I've been meaning to take for a long time...I'll post them later.

I wanted to take a pic of my male too, but I didn't have time. She's more beautiful that him anyway.....

My girlfriend and I bought her at the Raleigh show in May. She weighs 850 grams and is about 4.5 feet long. Is there any way you could give me an age estimate with that data. Thanks.
