Well you could argue that it doesn't take year's but generations and some reptiles breed fast enough and at a young enough age to turn over a lot of generations out of the wild like I would say that corn snakes and Leo geckos are domesticated wild type in captivity doesn't quite match up with a true wild collected animal I remember someone maybe bill love I'm not positive it was someone with him in that video he made a couple years ago well anyway they claimed that they could even tell what large breeder produced the leopard gecko like the ones from gourmet rodent look different from others head and body shape that sort of thing. It would seem to be similar to the way dog breeds have broken off to what we know today. I don't think this would work for boa's yet but anything is worth trying
