If they are their CBB then it will say so on their site...and for what it's worth even though mine were imported they calmed down just the same...handling the parasites wasn't too bad...the boa master cage doesn't sound like a bad route....the reason I went with 2ft tall cages was because I wire my lights inside...it allows for a lower wattage bulb to be used...

Merukes are beautiful, but you will find that in all the indo species and the IJs colors will fluctuate...my male is very dark and my female almost has a Carmel color to her
