Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
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 a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
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.

Boa morph questions
What makes a boa a jungle?
an aztec?
These 2 I don't completely understand. I know the motley, arab, sunglow, moonglow etc
Are they pattern morphs?

I myself am quite curious about the Aztec gene. As for the jungle I believe it is a co-dominant pattern morph and it juices up the colors a bit.

The aztec is like the jungle, an incomplete dominant pattern and apparently color morph. The aztec tends to have that really thick circleback laddertail pattern that's really busy. The jungles have a tendency towards striping and other pattern malformations, but also have outlined saddles and the saddles tend to have a chocolatey coloration. Also, they tend to have golden color about them as they age.

also keep in mind that there are sometimes issues with the super forms. Super jungles are thought to have fertility issues and super aztecs, if I remember correctly, neuro issues. I know that those issues are being worked on with outcrossing and I am not sure where they stand now. I know a super jungle female was bred but I believe she slugged out.

Two Super Jungle females have been bred. One, I know for sure, dropped a litter of slugs and premature babies with one living premature baby named "Pipsqueak". Sadly, after about a year, he passed away. The second, I am not sure on, I believe it was in Europe and the female had full term offspring, but if they survived, I do not know.
I do know there seems to be an issue in Super Jungle males that keeps them from being able to wrap and enter the female properly.
I think they look pretty wicked and would not mind one just to have it, since viablity of the animal itself is not an issue (anymore, I guess there were some issues in the past). The fertility issue is secondary to me.
