    Central American Sweethearts
    These are two (of 3) snakes I picked up in a trade. These guys are the reason I even considered offering some of my Balls up for trade..

    I am so happy with these guys. They are late 07s, pure central americans originally produced by Pete Khal (or so i was told). The third snake, I'm 90% sure i will be picking up in a few weeks is a male central american T+ (visual).

    I had to snap some pics or else i'd disturb them all through their settling in period. The female already took a F/T weaned rat for me (if they've got that hungry look I offer food to new arrivals, its never steered me wrong, either they eat or they don't).

    First is the female, Hypo 100% het T+. The amount of red on her is incredible. Inquisitive, but not aggressive. I haven't tried to handle her, i weighed her and took her out of the snake bag but that was it. 854 grams empty.

    Next is the male Motley 66% het T+. Amazing markings, nice and light. Hes a bit more high strung but hopefully we can work through that. He has an awesome tail stripe that you can't see in any of these pictures and a nice white belly.

    Nice looking boas. I wish my motley Nics looked like that. Mine are much darker. I have quite a few T+. You will definitely not be disappointed if you do decide to get one.

    Yes, the CA caramel sunglow motley will be HOT! I have some motley possible het T+s, super motley possible het T+s, hypo het T+, possible super hypo possible het T+s, and T+s, so I am definitely working on it. It will be a few years though...

    at least a year for me i'm thinking. The male is ready to breed now but the female isn't up to size. ..whatever size that is. Can i pick your brain about these guys? Im having a hard time finding information dedicated to the dwarf species. Most if its for the bigger true redtails.

    Sure no problem, but I must admit I am just getting into them myself. Most of my knowledge comes from Vin Russo of Cutting Edge Herp. I have his book The Complete Boa Constrictor, which is full of great info on all types of boas.
