Finally!

Finally after three years of wanting a snake, I finally got one. I picked up a hypo red tail at the hamburg expo today. So excited! Does anyone have a guess on the age?

Congrats!
Sorry, no idea on the age. A weight or length measurement may be more helpful to finding that out. Did the breeder give you any information?
Just a small tip: you may want to upgrade that water bowl to a ceramic or stone one, as when it gets more empty your snake may be able to tip it over I believe! They are strong little things ;) but then again, I don't use plastic water bowls so maybe it won't. Either way, best of luck to you!

No info on the age, length, weight, or gender. The actual breeder wasn't there. The girl had to call the breeder when I was haggling prices and I didn't think to ask then. I'll get a length measurement in a couple days when he/she settles down a little bit. I'm also gonna work on getting a scale to measure the weight.

Nice looking baby!! Congrats!


Interesting that, even though the breeder wasn't there, they weren't able to give you any info on the snake. Whomever made the sale should have been able to tell you gender at the very least. You shouldn't have had to think to ask.... :confusd:

Well, it's still a nice baby. As far as age, it's hard to tell based on pictures alone. Most likely it is a 2013 (so anywhere from 3-9 months old depending on when the litter was born). And it certainly is no older than a 2012.

Nice pickup. I was at the show today too. Without more information, it is very hard to tell what the age is. Just remember that boas should grow slow, some people tend to over feed them.

Thanks for the help everyone! :D

Gorgeous!

Going from the scale the plastic water bowl gives, s/he looks either the same or a bit smaller than my Leonard, a 2013 male born in May.

Congrats :) Leonard's my only boa, and I absolutely adore that animal -- you'll surely enjoy yours.

Awww so cute!! You have a beautiful snake :)
