The speckles stay with them as they grow. Personally, I like the personallity spots give the boa, but in the breeding world, cleaner is better.

If you're going to go with one of Clay's boas, ask him his recommendations for what to keep it in. A baby boa can stay in a fairly small tub, but not for long. They grow quick! Clay will be able to give you good info. on all that as well as what the boa's eating and the rest of the good stuff you need to know. Also, be sure to check out the care sheets here and on his site.

This guy is my fave!
