not to knock russo or any other breeder, but its already been said that breeders most would not admit to it even if they did get it in their collection at one time or another. the key point here is to QT for a long time and when you think your good qt even more. it doesnt hurt and your animals are worth the wait. also its good to know the breeders setup. does he keep his balls with his boas or are they separate.
