The Bimini boas (Epicrates striatus fosteri) also usually start on lizards, but are easier to switch and mine readily take f/t mice hoppers and weanlings. They are also super friendly. When I pick them up they love to wrap around my wrist and fingers and just relax. Very awesome species. They should also become more black and iridescent (google them, as I don't have adult photos).

The one's that are harder to start are the Haitian boas (Epicrates striatus striatus). At least mine have been harder to get eating regular mice meals. They currently are assist fed mice pinkies and medium adult rat tails. Also, super friendly snakes though!

I'm also not sure if Bimini Island boas are allowed for interstate commerce without a permit because it is IUCN Threatened species (I believe - not sure on the current status). I know not many people are working with them. I absolutely love them though and am excited for some breeding within the next 2-3 years!!!

That's right, I remember that about the Haitians now. The Bimini's have sparked my interest for sure. That's the thing about snakes - there are so many cool species! I hate having to draw a line somewhere... :P

So add the Biminis to my ever growing wish list right after the Mussaranas..... :D

Outstanding photos and a wonderful collection!

Thank you Della and Slim!

Kali - I'll put you on lists for the Biminis and Mussuranas if you wanna wait a few years! haha :)

Thank you!

You can go ahead and use it as a background, I just ask (out of respect) that you don't print or sell any of the photos since I sell work as part of a business. :)

You feed them rat tails?!? Like just the tails? Not the body? Lol I've never heard of that...just curious....I assume you cut them off frozen rats and then feed the rest to another snake?
