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.

Nics and Corn Islands
Hey All,
I was just offered a Boa yesterday and this is my first boa. I was told by the guy I got him from that he was a Corn Island Boa. I've looked at pictures online and I'm just not sure if he really is. The Corn Islands just seem to be darker.
But my main question is, if he is a Corn Island Boa, can those be bred with Nicaraguan Boas? My friend has a female she wants to breed and I know Colubrids can be bred without issue, but since I'm new to boas I figured I'd double check.
Also, it's hard to see, but his tail has a lot of yellow on it. And also I just got him yesterday and he came to me with that nose rub that I'm trying to get healed.
Thanks!

If it's your intention to sell the babies (or even if not), I would suggest not mixing localities, as all you would be doing is creating 'mutts' that probably would not look as good as (or be worth as much as) pure Corn Islands or pure Nics would be.

Well actually Corn island is a specific locale of Nicaragua so no issue. If you choose to breed you would produce Nicaraguan boas.
