My gorgeous new Bob Clark, tiger, fluffy line part 2, it grows.

Dude BCLs look like black and white red tails to me, nothing special I see there. You won't hear me speak on anything but BCIs and ATBs because I kept some. Pythons bring me a special feeling of wonder and amazement boas just don't. Except tree boas, they share in that elegant look. A well colored ATB..... amazing creatures.

And to each their own. I started out big into BCI morphs but the longer I've been in the hobby, the more I appreciate the stuff Mother Nature makes.

I personally like retics but to be honest, since the lift on Lacey Act and it seems even before that, everyone breeds or keeps retics. And the sad part is a lot of the people do it simply for the epeen factor. Go to Retic Nation FB page. You will see mostly loud mouthy guys who talk a lot of trash and are basically keyboard warriors. Even a few of the old timers from Retic Nation even voiced that. I had recently joined so I didn't really understand but after spending time there just reading, it is filled with lots of arrogant loud people. Not everyone mind you but more than I see on the boa pages.

But anyways, each to their own. I love the look of adult BCL. They are natures true IMG imo. And on top of that, they are a fairly rare subspecies. The breeders I've talked to have told me Meltzer/Lincoln which was one of the starting lines along with Gus Rentfro's Hauge line I believe and the Denton line. Well Meltzer/Lincoln line is all about extinct I was told. And to complicate problems, these boas come from the Tumbes Mountains who Ecuador and Peru government have been fighting over ownership for years so you cant even collect wild ones from there.

Retics offer the most morphs imo but boas offer the most subspecies which each is special and unique. Good god, I'm starting to sound like Gio!! Soon, I'll be doing the fancy natural setups

Anyways, sorry for the rambling. Don't take it the wrong way. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you are doing. Just to me, credibility to me is lost when people go in so many directions at once. I am more apt to believe the guy who says one thing and does it than a guy who says 15 things and doesn't follow through with a single one. Anyways, no hard feelings chief.
