Breeding

Is there a site that gives detailed info on breeding BCIs? Also one that explains genetics and how you get each morph would be awesome as well.. Any help would be great! Thanks

I would recommend buying the Boa Manual, it's well worth the 8 or 9 bucks, or whatever it costs.
Otherwise, just read this forum and every site that links to it (okay, maybe not EVERY) for the rest of your life...
Just Google, and read Google, and read.
However, buy some reputable books, that have good, solid, reliable information, vs. websites, which may be full of $|-|it...and for reading in the car, or the Yukon, or the john, or...you get my drift.
And wait until you've successfully kept other species for about 5-10 years, and have bred at least one other species a minimum of one time. Boa breeding is not a dive-in-head-first thing, at least in my opinion. My first year is, ummm, now, and I am an emotional wreck (sort of) right now, over my gravid boas.

congrats on your gravid babies! What are you breeding? BCC? BCI? Morphs?

Thanks, i'm need to go get some more crickets tomorrow for my tarantulas so i'll see if i can find the book then.

I forgot what the site was, but i was sent it a while back by a breeder on here, and it showed all the genetics and hows to acheve them. It was a really extensive site.
