Photo shoot, mainly for size comparison. By request.
Snapped some pics today for you guys to see the size comparisons, and the difference in the colors/markings between two that are the same morph and one normal. Shoe was the first thing I could grab to use as a reference, it's a size 11.

Baby Kona. Normal BCI, unknown gender. Hoping for female.

Rocky, male Salmon. About a year and 4 months, by Prehistoric Pet's calculations. This is the one that was shipped to me as a "baby". lol. Love him to death though, very pleasant, just a bit squirmy at times.

And last but not least, the most beautiful of all IMO, Apollo. Just got him, and as you can see in the pic he doesn't stop moving. Fastest boa I've ever seen. Keeping up with him was like trying to catch a wild king snake. Once you have him in your hands though he's a puppy dog.

Another of Apollo where he was still for .2 seconds. Love his color and markings.

Last one, Apollo trying to make a break for it. He acts like a side-winder on the ground. I wish I had gotten a video but I didn't have time or he would be in North Carolina by now.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed the pics. Still need to get some of my BP's but I've taken more interest in the boas lately because I haven't had them long. The ball pythons I've had for 12-13 years, and when I handle them it's usually to sit them in my lap for a movie. They don't move, just chill and watch it with me. Amazes me how different these two breeds are as far as their inquisitiveness. Or it could just be stress. The salmons are still "new" to me, totally different enclosure setups from what they were used too. So I'll let them chill a few more weeks and see if it helps. They eat like champs though!! :)
Thanks for looking folks!:snake:

I say go for it man. They make sterilites big enough for these guys big enough for them to be comfy until you can save up enough for an AP. That's what I'm doing... According to the sales rep, the T13 is the most popular for BCI's. You can order ceramics and have them shipped to them, and they will install it for free. They just don't carry ceramic heating. But they do install heat tape and other forms for heating for a lil extra. Top notch company, honestly. And compared to some of the other cages, whose name I won't mention, the prices are a steal.

only 339, and many options for heating and customization. give the lady at animalplastics.com a call. she's a sweet heart. she told me if i bought 3 i'd get a deal on the freight shipping. so that's my plan, but right now they are all content in their monster sterilites. i commend you for thinking about the future of the snake's well-being first though. most people buy the snake, then worry about what to do for husbandry. kudos.
