the BOI is the Board of Inquiry that you can find on FaunaClassifieds.com. It is basically as forum section were people post thier experiences with different people in the reptile industry. If someone does someone wrong, they post it there, and if someone does something right, it gets posted too. If you go to the site with a name, then you can check out what others are saying about them and then, ideally, have a more informed decision making process.
