actually south american bcc's and bci's do not share the same territory!
i am not talking about man made borders either.
i am talking about bci and bcc being seperated by water, altitude, various mountain ranges, plain ol' distance, weather, and food sources.
thats why they are what they are!
they are subspecies of boa constrictor, but you can also see how different they all are in body shape, head shape, markings and colorations, etc..... nature made them different. science just classified it.
even if the animals are in the same subspecie- like bci for example- you still have very different boas showing very different traits- that evolved by being seperated by all the same stuff listed above!
look at the insular boas- like the hogg island, isla de la bajia, compared to colombians.... very different, but all bci!
look at the 2 types in colombia alone- you have northern bci and southern bcc!
while the northern is plentiful, the southern is not.
back to the hogg islands, extinct! but plentiful in captivity.
what about the corn island dwarf boa, also a bci, very rare in the wild- rare in captivity too!
this is why we all have pay attention and stop crossing locales.....pretty soon there will be none left- and all that will be here are mutts and crap that are on the market!!!
not to mention these animals have different ways of doing things- ex is mating. one locale may emmit one type of pheromone (sp??) that may not be recognized by the other, they all have different probe depths and different penis shapes and textures!
thats natures way to stop crosses. but man still makes it happen...........
anyways, enough of my babble
shane!!! an interview with hermann would kick #$%^&#$%^&#$%^&!!!!!
i'll think of a few questions for you!
by the way, he does speak english, mabe not as good & reads it too. i have spoken to him several times via email.
