>>I know that there are some hot Python hybrids (Ball/Carpets, WOW!) right now but I haven’t seen to many wild boa combos. I have an Argentine/ Columbian mix but that still isn’t in the same ballpark as a Ball/ Carpet mixing. I mean a Brazilian Rainbow/ Columbian Boa or some thing like a Dumeril’s/ Columbian Boa. How about mixing in some Anaconda? Can it be done? Has it been done?

>>I am a little ignorant about the boa seen because I have immersed my self in Pythons for the last decade but I have renewed my interest in Boas as of late. I hear all kinds of hybrids for Pythons; some are very different, but not much with the boas. Why?

Well, one reason is there are alot more pythons than boas, and boa breeders seem to be much more concerned with keeping the different localities and subspecies pure than python breeders. I'm assuming this is because most boa integrades are hard to tell apart from pure boas, while with python hybrids it's usually pretty obvious what they are.

Also, a couple years ago I saw an ad with a boa constrictor/ Dumeril's hybrid for sale in the classifieds. I haven't heard anything about these, and it looked like just an unusual Dumeril's to me, so I don't know if it was real or not.
