A look back

Everyone says pictures or it didn’t happen. The two boas in center top were some of the first I ever got, a pair, along with the balls, another pair. One of my Dumerils. Bottom middle a Peruvian from Tom Crutchfield. Middle left a Guyana from Peter Kahl and top a Surinam from him also. Looking for pics of my Brazilian Rainbows, my Hog Island, my Argentine and a Brazilian red tail. And more, lmao. Plus a bonus pic of two of my boys now.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0c50a12e0c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...36bc235a76.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...38b1d53584.jpg

Very nice 'family'! :snake:

All these pictures are 20 to 25 years old, lol.

You had some nice Boas Sonny! I sure enjoyed the pics. :)

It looks you wanted try something a bit different this go around with the BPs since you have been there done that with the Boas.

Thank you so much Reinz, I got severely injured 13 years ago and didn’t keep from 2006 till 2013. I wanted to still keep boids, and I wanted to keep something that in my present condition wouldn’t put to much work on me. I am really happy to have what I have, I never would of dreamed back then I ever could of owned a pied (they were like 25 grand in 94? I believe) I really appreciate my little pythons, but I still drool over boas.

Sorry to hear about your injury.
I’m glad you are able to stay in the hobby. You have a nice collection to be proud of. :)

I know that when I reach an age where I am physically challenged my Boas will be the first to go. The amount of strength those guys have on a per inch measure is incredible. I’m glad that mine and most I hear about are mellow.

I am so grateful for everything, even the injury that resulted in disease. And treating the disease ended up causing cancer (which hopefully at the moment I’m free of). I know that might sound nuts, but I’m alive to tell the story. In other words it could ALWAYS be worse, so grateful indeed. As for as my present collection, as much as I miss having boas and other boids. I can not believe I am fortunate to have the animals I do. A Pied was a dream of dreams in the day, I got for mine only 350$. Even the price of clowns dropped like crazy from when I was dreaming to when it became reality. And yes as far as Boas go my Argentine (BCO) was a power house. So was my Suriname (BCC). Thanks again, Reinz.

You have excellent taste in snakes, then and now:D that clown is breathtaking thank you for sharing ;)

Thank you so very much, and my clown is my pride and joy! I love him to death, I got him from Garrick, at Royal Constrictors. He was a reduced pattern with a solid back stripe. Thanks again.:)
