!!!!And here they are!!!!

So another words you are saying if they are crosses from two different localities they are no good as breeders? clarification

Not necessarily. Just that you would have to label them as crosses right from the get-go.

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

They know because there are ways to document the bloodlines. It's just like keeping detailed records and pedigrees when breeding purebred dogs or horses.

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?

DNA testing can be done on horses and dogs, but it will only tell you if one dog is related to another - you can't get a detailed pedigree from DNA testing alone. I've raised German Shepherds from Germany for years. Yes, I know about this. As far as I know, it is not possible with reptiles - yet.

I know they have papers but I shouldn't in your opinion breed the male BCC, Bolivia, ... to the Salmon Female

No, in my opinion you should not. That would be crossing a BCC (or possibly a BCA, lol) with a BCI. Most boa people frown on crossing subspecies. Incidentally, subspecies is different from locality. I am NOT saying that you should not breed any of these snakes, I just think that you should not breed the BCI to either of the BCCs.

I am learning Boas and appreciate all the help I am just trying to understand

Never be afraid to ask questions!

Also, if in fact that BCI is a hypo and that is the one that is het for albino, then it would be considered double het for sunglow. Sunglows exhibit both the hypo and albino traits in one snake. You would, however, have to breed it to another snake that is, or is het for, albino. Albino is a recessive trait and both parents must carry the gene in order to produce it in their offspring.
