if you are getting a surinam red tail i would breed it to another surinam redtail

yes you could breed to other boas but it will devalue the baby boas and they wont look as nice as a true red tail

I personally wouldn't care if It were to be sold as the morph (Like a Salmon) rather than species specific (salmon BCC) because as previously stated it would be a cross

If that makes sence

Horses for courses though

as long as you sell the babies as what they are and dont try and fob them off as some thing they are not there is no problem. its the same with peoples views on hybrids, i personly couldn't care less and in fact i quite like some cross species/hybrids. Breed them with what ever you want mate just sell them as what they are not what will get you the most money!

yeh but you sell a salmon x bcc as a salmon without them knowing it has bcc in it then that person breeds that sed salmon to a common then he will be selling commons as (bci) when they are infact crosses

but all this is my opinion i would rather have somthing pure
