BCI x Dumerils Boa

I'm sitting back, admiring my collection and wondered whether anybody has ever crossed a BCI with a Dumerils Boa?

I'm not going to do it, apart from the fact that I promised the original owner of my Dum that I would never breed from her due to her small size; I wouldn't want to dilute either species any more than they already have been.

I just wondered what a cross would look like and whether it has ever been done?

Cross breeding anything is a very bad thing in my book. You may not like my opinion on this subject as I am a purest.

Yeah not quite what I asked ... I wondered whether it is biologically possible as I have never seen one. I know it shouldn't be done; complications with CITES paperwork for a start.

I am aware what you where requesting. Which ever way you want to consider your request the verdict boils down to ethics first and foremost. No matter the successfulness of the attempt.

Think you made you point Shaun, Tony is a very sensible reptile keeper I assure you.
Many breeders have cross bred with many species and this is how we have come about with all the morphs etc but it does make you wonder what a cross bred a dumerils boa with a bci things will look like if a 'breeder' ever did. You only have to look what is already available on the reptile market to make you wonder. Also we only have to look at the predigree dog situation we have and all their problems the dogs suffer from us meer humans messing around with cross breeding.
