Re: new argentine Boa

nice pick ups man, the pattern on the first one is unreal, just like the lack of pattern on the second one.

Re: new argentine Boa

Looks a lot like my male pastel.



Mack is a bit bigger(1 yr older) but lots of similarities.

Re: new argentine Boa

Very pretty. I saw some Argentines at an expo I was at last month & fell in love. And it looks like yours has the best of both Colombian and Argentine. Congrats!

I hate when they mess up bloodlines.

So long as nobody misrepresents what it is, where's the harm?

No phisical harm, just destroying pure blood lines.

Sorry, I disagree. It's not like the parents were destroyed after the babies were born. Nothing was destroyed here. Unless this boa is later sold as pure-blood one or the other, that I would definitely have a problem with.

Re: new argentine Boa

I agree, it makes the animal unique in its own way. Just as long as it wasn't bred and misrepresented as a pure bred then there isn't really any harm. But those are some beautiful snakes aj099

Well it's a shame to say that this snake probably has 20+ siblings. Now who's to say out of those 20+ one wont be bred with another boa to produce another 20+ un pure bloodlines. Now there is alot of un pure bloodlines introduced into the trade. Now times the numbers by 10
