Those are so cute! How well do they keep their color into adulthood?

Prices can run from $60 - $75 each.
My website is soooooo outdated! :rolleye2: I need to get it updated! The pic is of an adult male Ford's boa (Epicrates fordii), native to Haiti.
If you have anymore questions, please feel free to drop me a pm.
thanx and they are so kewl.. had entertained the idea of buying one of those years back.. but then got into corns.. now learning what I can to venture into bp's and perhaps smaller boas. Not sure how the hubby will deal with that, but I figure if I give him a few years warning he'll warm up to the idea. not that he doesn't like snakes, he's just indifferent about it. :D Im sure he'll be like whatever.. and roll his eyes. heh.

Actually, they tend to get more red as they get older. Some get a dark brick red while others become a more reddish brown. Their pattern also tends to fade a bit as they get older. Here is a pic of their mother a few days before she laid the clutch.
