That's only a part of equation. A lot of work was done by Pro-Exotics here in Denver and we're between 5000 and 6000 feet up (I'm not sure where their shop was) and I believe that Bushmaster is working with them too and he's about as high up (he's somewhere out here in the metro area too). From my discussions with a few people working with them they basically have no idea what all is involved, seasonal weather changes, UV exposure, elevation, oxygen levels, hell it could be black magic as far as they know right now.

very cool and interesting stuff,thanks for the info mate...

i always hoped someone outside Indonesia living at high altitude would give it a go,to find out if it was an elevation thing


it would be bad for all of us who don't live up mountains though

i see some folk have managed to cross male Boelens with Carpet Pythons,can't remember the name they gave the hatchlings

ive heard folk having lock ups that don't amount to anything

please keep me updated if you hear anymore Boelens news mate

Check out marc spataro and some of his recommendations. Fredrick in Sweden has got 2 years in a row with clutches and neos. I've been researching for years and may finally take the jump. I found some Cb from indo which means that they found a wild gravid female and let her lay at their farm most likely. Any true cb critters are 10k plus probably and in extreme demand.
Tracking the animals core temp and allowing for the natural temperature drop they get in their native habitat seems vital to doer production in males but also follicle growth in females.

I will say though there's been more available in the past 6 years than I ever saw before. People also seem to be able to keep them alive for longer than a few months now.

in the UK we can get them in London,straight from an Indonesian facility,for £1895 last time i checked (crystal palace reptiles sell them)

if anyone can get them to you in Canada it will be him Aaron,he owns a breeding facility in Indonesia

i hope you can sort something out mate


cheers shaun

P.S. it was Darren who sent me my lone female Diamond back in 2008 (i bought her from his friend),he only charged £45 to courier it from London to Scotland (which is cheap),he's a good guy to deal with,he even offered to pick up my male Diamonds at a reptile show in Germany (for free),then send them up from London,when he got back home

Aaron knows where to get them, he was being sarcastic. I think Danny G has an import coming in a few months via Dom in Montreal. I think Aaron doesnt like mites and nasty subcutaneous stuff in his collection, that is why the face. Hahha.

Darren sends his stuff to Don all the time here in BC. They do a few imports each year I believe.

[millertime89]

I think he mentioned something about them not being legal in his area.

Thank you for all interested~
I know the difficulty of boelens breeding!

Thank you all again^^

Aaron sarcastic

well i hope that post wasn't sarcasm or he's lost his touch mate


nothing wrong with having a closed collection,but i'm sure Aaron can handle quarantine


so Aaron what's up with you and Boelens mate ?
