Christine, as it is 2009, I think that most (edumacated, philosophically sopistimacated) adults agree that there is nothing at all improper about whatever any 2 (or more) consenting adults do behind closed doors. IMHO. ( = In My Humble Opinion )
As I type, I am sure there are lions and tigers and bears, oh my, lurking in the 'victorian' foliage, waiting to pull me down off this lofty point of view. ;) :laugh: *rolls eyes dramatically*
 
Well as long as the popping and probing are done properly I don't think it matters if you leave the door open a little. That is not to say you should be popping or probing lions and tigers and bears, oh my.
 
Waaaaaade oh wade I really really REALLY find you to be the funniest person alive, and obviously the smartest, but do tell how you know about the popping and probling of lions, tigers, and bears? now that would be oh-my;)

Christmas morning clutch = A clutch where every egg that pips is like a fun little gift you don't know you're going to get. Especially used when referring to a clutch that's proving out hets.
 
You don't have BCC yet?

BCC = Boa Constrictor Constrictor, "True" Red Tail Boa (or something like that.. lol!)
 
Colombians are BCIs... Argentine are a different species... And Surinames are BCCs.

Pretty sure I got that right, but I don't feel much like testing my google skills... If not, someone with more experience with the different boa species/localities can correct me? =P
 
All right folks here we go again, the list with all the updates, additions and corrections I was given. :wavey:
