    Congrats on your baby!! You can upload pictures by using a picture hosting site such as photobucket. Simply upload your pic there, then copy and paste the URL link into your post here. There is a sticky thread on how to do this under "Site Info". We would love to see pictures!!


    First tip I like to give to first time boa keepers is do NOT overfeed your baby!! It is virtually impossible to under feed a boa. Feed only every 7-10 days (even for tiny babies!) and do not give a prey item that leaves a noticable lump in the belly. Boas are not balls and should not be fed like them! Smaller is better with boas. They will be much healthier overall if grown slowly.

    Im out to dinner with my wife and sister in law, ill try and figure out how to post photos latter. Also I find myself spending a lot of time on here reading and learning and my wife complains and says i spend too much time reading about snakes. Although in her defense she knows me all too well and i have a very addictive personality.

    congrats and welcome to boas you are sold for life now hahaha! very addicting and my #1 always and forever fav reptile. and just to help you out a bit jungle is a codom (incomplete) gene. There is no such thing as a het jungle. Jungles are a visual pattern morph. so your baby should be a hypo jungle het albino or a hypo het albino from a jungle litter
