    breeding central and red tail boas??
    does anyone know if you can "mix" a central american boa and a red tail boa, and get them to breed with results???
    i know its a shot in the dark but im leaning on buying a new snake or not

    The answer is yes, and it technically isn't a hybrid since they're both of the same species, but generally most people look down on crossing boa locales. Crossed locales usually do not produce quality offspring and do not sell for much. If you want to breed boas I'd recommend purchasing two of the same locale.

    All Colombian hypos(salmon) are CA crosses. Includes sunglows, ghosts, and all the other hypo combos.

    Breeding Colombian/CA boa morphs is not the same. Both Colombians and Central Americans are BCI's. If I'm understanding the OP correctly, he was asking about breeding a BCI to a BCC. I believe this was how we were all interpreting his post.

    And what Crazy4Herps said is still true. As an example, there are a few breeders out there who've done an Argentine cross with a hypo (BCO x BCI) to produce what they are calling "salmontine" boas. Most members of the boa community frown on this cross as its generally believed and accepted that the Argentine locale should remain pure as their natural habitat is threatened and, therefore, so are they.
