Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using portable devices to register, as they may quite likely utilize an IP address that does not match your actual city and state.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.
I have 12 years old 0.1 columbian rainbow boa - Epicrates cenchria maurus. She never lost her beautiful coloration. From time to time she is looking like on the posted foto, from time to time she is much more brown, but the coloration stays.
I got her at age app. 3 years, owner did not know anything about the parents.
Is it possible that it is cross over E.c. cenchria and E.c.maurus, or is it just a specially beautiful specimen of the species?
I'm planing to breed her this year. If it is a cross - is she sterile or a fertile one?
I don't see any reason to suspect that she is an intergrade/cross, and there is no reason for her to be sterile if she is. Most of the sterility issues arise from more extreme crossing, ie different species, or even different genera.
I'm trying to get the male, but haven't been successful yet.
A friend of my friend is breeding E.c.cenchria (has a pair) and maybe I could get that male to breed this year.
Do you think that that would be unethical?
What would the offspring look like? 1/2 like E.c.maurus and 1/2 like E.c.cenchria?
Unethical? not particularly. Undesirable? yeah. Why would you want to do it? Anybody that wants a Brazilian rainbow won't want those babies, nor would the people looking for a Columbian.
I have probably seen the cross before, but it doesn't stand out in my mind - the babies would probably look like something between the two ssp...the colors being a bit off on most, but a few will likely show a bit more of one influence or the other.
