Red tail boa

I just picked up this RTB for free. He is approx 5ft and is absolutely gorgeous. I was wondering exactly what type of RTB he is though. This is the only pic I really have currently, however I can go and take a few more if needed. He is super calm and passive. Just happy and content to be just held.

Common columbian boa - BCI. Very nice snake and very healthy looking! Congrats! The color in the pic is a little on the yellow side, so it's kinda hard to say for sure, but he definitely looks like a normal BCI to me. :gj:

yea the pic was taken in my office with an iphone so the picture quality isnt exactly great lol. thanks for the fast reply!

he's pretty thays for sure... normal or not.. nice pick up and free!! Whoo hoo

No prob! He sure does look like a nice snake. How on earth did you manage to pick him up for free?? Wish that kind of opportunity would happen to me sometime, lol..... :P

He is nice. I never catch deals like that (free) :)

I suppose I was just lucky. Saw someone who couldn't take care of him anymore. So I said I would, however the wife decided she didn't like the idea of a 5ft RTB hanging out in the office so I had to take him to one of my friends who is a local breeder who gave us trade in for him. Wife picked out a beautiful milksnake and it was an even trade. I think she would have been more accepting of a 5ft snake if we had it as a baby and watched it grow up, versus just boom, having a 5ft boa. It was funny. When we were driving home, and she was holding the milksnake she reflected on the fact that even 2 months ago she never would have imagined having snakes. I figure us having saltwater eels in one of our tanks has subconsciously helped ease any fears she may have ever had, even though I would much rather deal with a snake than an angry eel. Atleast you can hold onto a snake. Good luck holding onto an eel! I was very sad though having to take the RTB to trade though. He seemed to have a great temperament. But I even was slightly nervous holding a 5ft snake that I really didn't know, or know his personality at all. One day, I will have another RTB. Sorry for the long post. lol.
