It may not be much, but to me he's something.

WOW! He is gorgeous! I totally love his eyes, so beautiful. I think you really lucked out and found a very nice Boa. Congrats on the pickup, I know you'll enjoy him. :)

HAHA :D time for an update!!! ok, unbeknownst to me i didnt know that boas had this "thing" called "light phases" and "dark phases" well it seems as though when i posted the original pics that i took leaving the san mateo expo my male was in a dark phase i'm assuming (i think it had to deal with the bay area weather, seemed gloomy), hence he had some oakland raider coloration, now that i've taken him home and let him settle in, i decided to take him out in the sunlight and get a few pics to which i can see his true coloration. heres my '09 1.0.0. Pastel Het Coral Albino.

also a few questions about these little guys...since he has these nice pink, peach and light orange colors now as a yearling. i was told that as boas grow older their color tends to diminish, is this true? i've seen snakes that start off as a silverish gray then end up being tan or beige..:/

Het means he carries the gene to reproduce that trait that he is het for, as a rule most people would call him a red tail "BUT" at the same time a purist would not, a "TRUE" red tail would be a BCC which would be your Surinames, North Brazilians & Guyana's and a couple of other localities, yours is a BCI which though is not a "TRUE" red tail is still generally called one. You will see changes in his coloration from shed to shed and at times day to day, he'll have light & dark phases PLUS hi color & low color phases, his his hi & low color phases you'll see one certain color really "pop" out and show bright which I think is really cool. He's a good looking boa and I look forward to seeing photos of him in the future.
