Its a boa I think not sure what kind though.

Why wouldn't you like touching it? You know it's a boa of some sort.

definately a boa that looks like hes in shed.

Looks like some type of ghost RTB. Don't be afraid it's just a boa

Yea forgot to mention he's in shed. I dunno something about it has me uneasy. I just think its cuz i have no idea what it is. Some identification would go a long way with my fear if ut i think. Its pattern is almost completely hidden by the shed

well, it's a boa so, there's no need to fear it :) I think people may have a better time identifying it once it sheds out.

It's a BCI, need some better pics when it's done shedding to tell you more.

Defunity looks like a bci based on pics. Never seen one one before. Looks like a dark retail. Thanks guys

It's a Boa Constrictor Imperator, which is often sold in pet stores as a "red-tail boa", even though they are not true red-tails. I have two of them currently, :) One is my darling Ryuu, and the other is a sick rescue I just acquired.

It looks very dark, even for being in shed, so it could be some kind of morph, maybe anery? Post pics after it sheds and we could possibly help more.

redtailboa.net is my favourite site for boa info.
