Re: rescued boa(pics DU Warn.)
Wow that is a seriously gorgeous boa. I don't know what it is either.. I'd guess it's just a very unique normal BCI. It doesn't look like it has hog island in it, but that's just my opinion (I do own two of those though)
Re: rescued boa(pics DU Warn.)
Not a salmon or hypo, but it really is a unique looking snake.
Re: rescued boa(pics DU Warn.)
I just sexed it and IT'S A GIRL!
Re: rescued boa(pics DU Warn.)
Pics don't work for me here. Can someone repost them?

I agree, probably a really unique normal, but a nice one!

I did what you said. I could'nt feel anything so I thought I was doing it wrong so I probed her.
Re: rescued boa(pics DU Warn.)
Told ya, nothing is a girl...two bumps is a boy. It's never wrong when they are young. When they get older and bigger it's a little different, but when they are still that age it's pretty much dead on. I'm glad it worked for you. I still probe to be dead on, but if I'm at a show or something, it comes in handy to know you are getting a properly sexed snake.

For no reason am I saying it's better than probing, but most people don't probe right and can injure your snake if they don't know what they are doing, so this is a safe and accurate method. Let us know!
Was described to me once by the breeder of my Stimson's & Kenyan, and a retic breeder as "clicking".
