These Boas are the most...

.. polymorphic of any Boa locality I have seen, at least when small. Longicauda babies, even from parents that are closely related, have a wide variance in saddle-shape (and count), overall color, tone and contrast. Very unusual in breedings of related Boa ssp.. Of course the ontogenetics kick in as they age and the differences are less obvious when they are mature, still it is an interesting phenomenon.

Those are super incredibly... AWESOME (bet you thought I was going to say clean, well they're that too!)

Makes me wish I had room for another project. I really like the one on the right.

Gus,
those are so clean looking, great color. I was wondering if you have refined any of the color phase yet. or if you have had a luck working with the green phase animals? thanks
Micah
