Because I've heard people complain that they bought a certain locality boa to breed with a same locality boa they already had, but when they bred them, 1/4 of the offspring proved to be crosses of a different local. I understand that this is not a hybrid exactly, but what a disappointment for that breeder. At least 1-2 seasons of waiting, breeding them, then finding out it wasn't a pure snake as you were told when you bought it. The breeder was strict about only working with locality boas, so she didn't even want to sell the father or any of the offspring. I don't ever want to spend years working on a project, finally hatch out a clutch or two or three, and watch as 1/4 of the offspring hatch out as stubby, freaky looking balls in blood bodies, because a cool looking male I bought turned out to be a blood cross.Originally Posted by Mendel's Balls
