a disturbing trend

[Steve_M.]

I read kingsnake classified regularly just to see different snakes and how much they cost. what I've noticed is alot of times somebody will simply advertise a C.A. boa (central American) I beleive a more complete description should be given central America has many different boa's even though to my knowledge their all BCI their quite different I beleive this is only going to lead to x-breeding by people who don't realize what their doing. Nobody sells a colombian or argentine as just a south American boa and I don't think central american boa's should be lumped together either

I agree 100%!!!!! I mentioned the same thing on the kingsnake boa forum a while back but very few people seem to really understand. C.A. boas are highly variable and the different populations should be kept separate. The boa breeding hobby has been ruined for me from all the cross breeding going on...it really makes me sad. :'(

Good point...Is it possible to post that question in the section heading "boas for sale" maybe if some of the importers and sellers see this thay will start paying more attention to were thay got the boas from......yes I know  wishful thinking.

If people agree about this subject I think if we politely let sellers we come across know how we feel that should have some impact after all with out buyers whats a seller to do
