    Top Shelf Colombian BC.
    I really haven't posted anything other than I-Phone pictures this summer. I figured its time to give the boy one last summer photo OP. He is my only BC.
    Here he is at exactly 3 years, 2 months old. Gus Rentfro's, Rio Bravo Reptiles, Barranquilla, Colombian boa constrictor.

    I would not have this guy if it weren't for the great folks at Legacy Reptiles. They continue this line.

    He comes in at 6 feet long these days. He had a smaller meal 5 days ago.
    Check out Sniper!

    I had to face the fact that his tail wasn't going to stay red. I don't mind at all as he has a pretty cool tail no matter the color, and you can see a little rainbow in there.

    There is absolutely NO shortage of sweet colors on this boa.

    I've always liked his sides.

    So many colors buried in his pattern. Thanks for looking.

    Hey bud,

    Thanks!

    I'm using a Sony NEX3.

    It does everything I need.

    Thanks for stopping in man!

    Not the same without you here.

    The BC forum is a fairly select group, which isn't surprising being the board is dedicated to royals.

    That big fella started out as this little rascal below.

    Yes!

    Gus is really missed in the BC world. He really is a world authority on boa constrictors. Not only his breeding practices, but his overall knowledge about their wild and captives habits.

    The guys at Legacy have the Colombian line, and I know TC Reptile had some of his Colombian stock. Legacy also had some of his Peru BCC stuff and I believe some Pokigron Suriname stuff too.
