BCC X BCO

varanid Jul 31, 2004 12:45 AM

I've got two boas; one's a common Columbian, the others an (amazing!) Argentin boa; I know they've been breed together before, but am unsure if there are any special difficulties in doing so? I mean, I recognize they're just different subspecies as opposed to full species, but who knows?
Also, given the difference on growth rates of babies (Argentine's grow slower), does anyone know what to expect of babies? I mean just in terms of growth rate and preferred temps (in my experince, my argentine likes it cooler than the Columbian).
They're both big enough to breed this year (the BCC is 4, the argentine is 5), but it'll be my first attempt at breeding boas, so I don't know if I'll get, but I plan to try

Thanks
me

im not sure about what the babies will need etc, but i know that ppl often cross columbians and argentines to make a more beautifull albinos, so there are no real difficulties or consicuences.
