They are usually yes. Well more than usually really! I just didn't really want a litter mate if I can find something a little more distant.
Unfortunately that really hard here and the parents are American imports originally I believe.
I have hog island boas and Caatingas here too. The Caatingas are undoubtedly siblings as the breeder was the only one in the UK at the time working with them.
