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.

Breeding Guyana and Surinam boas together.
I am wondering what your thoughts are about this. On one hand, they are both bcc's and they are bordering countries. They must breed together naturally. Do you think that they are basically the same boa with their only difference being their locale?
Personally I don't see the need to breed them together, but I don't think it's an awful thing either. The only real problem that I see with it is that somewhere down the breeding line someone is going to pass them off as one or the other and the locale will not be true.
Your thoughts?

Here are my thoughts. I have two Suriname Boas that would be considered Guyana Boas. I also have three Suriname Boas that look just as they should. So having the two I know the differences well. I personally believe it is nothing more then a border issue with them.
Similar to the Pastel BCI, the colors and patterns can be picked out for breeding purposes, if I want more lavender in the body, parallel lines connecting the saddles, long widow peaks, no widow peaks, silver body, brown tails, or red tails.
I have heard of both patterns(Guyana and Suriname) coming from a Suriname X Suriname breeding. Even from a Guyana X Guyana breeding both patterns have emerged. In the wild it seems that many carry the genes for both patterns.
Personally, I am going to keep my breedings together as far as paterns goes. I love both patterns for their natural look, so I really do not want to mix them up. I really do not think there would be much of a difference between the two patterns from breeding the two together. It does not bother me much if someone else breeds them together.
