Sssssnake In The Grass - Viper Boa
At last I got my dark colored viper boa as I've wanted for over seven years. And I finally got some good photos of her. She's such a snake in the grass. lol

Moved her to another location for some different shots. She looks really wild here I think. Like I spotted her out in the field or something.

very cool looking boa, I've always had a little itch to pick up a pair for myself.
If you don't mind me asking, where did you get yours?
Re: Sssssnake In The Grass - Viper Boa
One of my St. Isabel Solomons passed away due to a fluke kidney abnormality that caused them to shut down. The breeder was kind enough to send her (an LTC of six years) to me as a replacement. So, happenstance. I can PM you his e-mail if you like, but I don't know if he has any more. I don't buy fresh WC animals, and LTC only as a last resort (which are never available anyway), but I feel I was lucky to have her sort of fall into my lap since it seems like all the viper boas in the US are fresh WC and nothing I'm interested in - I like the extremely dark ones, not the brown ones.
I'm hoping desperately to find a dark CB or LTC male for her and get at least one litter from her before she gets too old. But I feel like it's an uphill battle against time.

Pretty snake. I was going to get one but it was more brown that I would like so I passed.
Re: Sssssnake In The Grass - Viper Boa
Very pretty snake! Ive also wanted one for quite some time:gj:

Hot dog that is one cool snake. I've never seen or heard of them before. It's absolutely wild looking! That is definitely one LUCKY find.

Enser54, yeah, that was the same issue I was having.
Juddb, nice ones are hard to find.
Mindibun, thanks.

What an awesome snake. Good photography too. The low light setting really compliments her blackness.
