Thank you both so much for your time and help! The pics are georgous!
Kali- I will pm you with the breeder's info.
I will look into the breeders you guys mentioned and see what they have. I think I have succeeded in convincing my husband that a boa would be a better next addition to our collection than a BP, so we will probably be looking to buy sometime between now and summer.
I definately don't want to blow the bank on an expensive morph... at least not yet... That said, this may be the only boa I add to my collection, so I want to get a very nice looking individual and not suffer from buyer's regret.
Do any of the more affordable morphs or specific localities (other than the locality you mentioned your BCI was Gio) tend to have better contrast / lighter backgrounds as adults? I've seen pics of hypos and pastels and it's hard to tell if they look any better than normals (of course, most are baby pics).
Thank you again for all of your help and advice!
