So another words you are saying if they are crosses from two different localities they are no good as breeders? clarificationOriginally Posted by 3skulls
What it really comes down is this. Unless you have paper work from a reliable breeder (same as Carpets) you won't know what you have for sure.
There are so many crosses and mutts, people that sold Commons as True Red Tails etc. I think you can get pretty close on guessing but I would never breed them and pass them off as a guess. Just adding to the problem IMO.
With that said, I do have a couple of Boas together now and 2 Carpets that I don't have a history on.
If they produce then I will sell them only as mutts. Release a photo of the Sire and Dam and let the buyer know what's going on. Mutts make great pets, just as dogs do.
Anyway. You have 3 very nice looking Boas and I really like that first one
complaint - I am not sure how much any breeder knows about where a particular snake is from unless they personally caught it in the wild and then produced from there and every generation handed paperwork to show such. IMO most boas available outside of any of these localities has probably at one point or another been crossed with something
I do understand your take on things that pure bloodlines are best it was much easier with dogs papers you could order their history all the way back to the original sire and damn if you choose to go that far. I have heard of having them DNA tested does anyone know anything about that?
I know they have papers but I shouldn't in your opinion breed the male BCC, Bolivia, ... to the Salmon Female
I am learning Boas and appreciate all the help I am just trying to understand
