Keeping the soft permeable membrane intact must have been difficult...??? LOL

Boa 1st..LOL

Ad states: "I have 15 awesome Columbian Red Tail Boa babies and the parents are from East Bay Vivariums Red Group Line"..."These babies that I hatched out..."..."these guy's have been tame from the day they hatched.."

Keeping the soft permeable membranes intact and artificially nurturing the growing neonates must have been quite an ordeal...???

Not to mention the elaborate & expensive incubation equipment to act as the surrogate female boa...

In all seriousness, a polite letter of explanation was sent to remind this gentleman that boas are live bearers. Recommended a change of terminology to improve likelihood of sales and instill confidence in prospective buyers. Guess I'm guilty of wrongful terminology myself, as when I re-read my letter to this gentleman, I incorrectly used the term "clutch" to refer to a photo he had on his web site showing the litter, shortly after their "hatch"...errr...birth!

No harm; no foul!
