First boa: Sharp Albino (pics)

So I dont post much here but I do browse through the posts and look at pics, and know how much everyone likes to see the new additions, so here is mine he is a Sharp line Albino purchased from Chris Bethel.

These are from my Galaxy s3 so not the greatest

First pic I took (terrible):

Its not very easy to photo a moving snake with 1 hand using a phone, lol.

He seems to be doing ok, the heat pack fell off during shipment and was laying on top of him when I unboxed, hoping it doesn't cause any issues.
Thanks for looking!

very nice! i think when its time for another one (a few months down the road) and albino or sunglow are next. leaning more towards the sunglow. very jelly

Thanks, Im planning on breeding him but he still needs a girlfriend, I want to produce sunglows or jungle sunglows have a few years for that but cant wait!

from what i heard you should of got a female first then a male a year later, unless you plan on buying a big female.

Very nice! Congrats on joining the boa world!

Yea thats typically the way to go, Ill probably look for a 2011 female. I decided on the male because I wanted the male to be the visual albino so I can breed his genes to more females, and I really like his tail. Also my wife isnt a fan of snakes so since males are smaller kinda helps ease into the bigger snakes :)

Very nice. Looking boa congrats !!' :)

Not necessarily. He'll just have to wait longer to breed the female. Just because a male CAN breed once it's 2-3 years old and/or producing sperm plugs, doesn't mean he HAS to. He can wait and grow up more until the female is also mature enough. I bought my male Argentine before the female. He is an early 2010 and she is a late 2011. He is ready to breed now - nearly 6ft long, 2200 gm, producing sperm plugs, and hubba-hubba, lol. It will be a good 3 more years before the female is ready as I grow my babies slowly. That's ok by me - I buy top quality animals when I find them and that sometimes means buying the male first. :gj:

Congrats, he is very nice
