A Tale of Three Boas

[dakski]

As many of you know, I have three boas now. Behira, 3 year and 9 month old Ghost BI, Feliz, 2 1/2 year old Dwarf Venezuelan BC, and Jeff Shemesh, a 1 year and 2 month old VPI T+ Sunglow Motley Jungle BI.

People ask about growth rates, and it's difficult to show that here, with 1 female and two males, one of whom is a dwarf BC. Feliz will max out about Behira's weight now, or even less, at about 4 1/2 - 5FT. However, Jeff will probably be a little larger. For reference, Behira was Feliz's current weight at 1 year and 5 months, and is from the same breeder and is on the same feeding regiment as Jeff Shemesh.

However, I thought I'd show them anyway, in the same container, so people can get an idea. I am also happy to post growth rates and share feeding regiment, etc.

As we all say, less is more with Boas, and it's best to feed appropriate sized meals less often than more often.

This also gives me chance to show off all three of my Boas, and be able to update all at once at least some of the time.

Anyway, without further ado, from smallest to largest.

Also, they are all in the Large Faunarium. http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/faunarium.php. It's the bottom one in the description, 18" long.

Jeff Shemesh - VPI T+ Sunglow Motley Jungle BI, 1 year and 2 months - 220G +/-.


Feliz - 2 1/2 years old - Dwarf BC - 525G +/-





Behira - Ghost BI - 3 years and 9 months and about 1,900G +/-.
