    Leopard Boa Info And Advice?
    I have fallen in love with the Leopard Boas and I would love to get myself into the Eclipse and Hypo Leopard projects. I think all three are absolutely beautiful and I am also a fan of Motleys and Hypo Motleys! The only thing I don't like about the Leopards is that they are dwarf species. Boas are the only species of snakes I keep (other than my Bloods and Short Tails) that I really want to be larger (6' - 8' range)... Does anyone know if there are any larger Leopard Boas out there that have had the dwarf bred out of them? With regards to the Eclipse mutations, I presume that they would probably top out a little larger as adults since they would have Motley genes, wouldn't they?

    All leopards have been breed to the larger BI unless specified as a pure locality Tarahumara/Sonoran Leopard.

    No kidding, huh? Do you have any idea how large they are topping out at as adults on average? Do you know of any resources with photos of adult Leopards? The only ones i've seen are on Youtube and they were like 2 1/2 years old and still only about 3' long and really tiny. Would you say it would probably be best to go with a Leopard male and a Motley Het Leopard female, since the Motley would most likely be much larger at sexual maturity?

    This depends on what motley line you go with. Colombian Motley, yes. CA Motley, not necessarily. My Sonoran leopards at 10 years old are around 5ft long. They get fed maybe 10 to 12 times a year. Perfect body condition, perfect size.
    Note that the eclipse from the CA motley line and that from the Colombian motley line look different.
