You wanted to see pics of CAs, so I thought I'd post my CA motley male. The CA boas stay a lot smaller and leaner, especially if you get a male. I would buy from a reputable source though, that can tell you which breeder it came from / lines it is from.

Mine isn't from a noted breeder, but I felt his CA markings were clear enough to note that he is actually a CA and not a cross. If you want a legitimate smaller boa, look for someone selling a Tarahumara, Sonoran, Nicaraguan, etc. as "CA" usually means they can't tell you a specific country of origin or it is a mix of different countries.

This pic is of him acting like a ball python

And here is a pic taken by the breeder.

Hey I have a couple Nicaraguan Boas. A female that is a 2014 and a new hatchling pewter nicaraguan boa male. Can upload some pics later if you are still interested in boa morphs. I love these because they have the big boa personality in a easier to handle size. Not that big boas aren't great too!

Pictures please

Thanks! Can't recommend them enough! They are reasonably priced, and should be easy to handle at any age. My room-mate used to have one, he didn't hold it much, and it was pretty quick to strike, but they aren't all like that. I hope you find something you will like.

Thanks for the pictures they are beautiful. ..

Oh man, I am LOVING this thread!
I just got my first snake (as an adult, had a bad experience as a kid, long story) and decided on a CA as all my research pointed to boas as awesome pets but i was nervous about housing and caring for a big'un. Further, i got a male to really hedge my bets for small size, although now i am pining for a full sizer (maybe someday). His name is Irwin, IHO Steve.
Kam, I love those pictures you posted, do you know if its a male or female? I would love my little dude to be about that size some day. Its still early on, but i freakin' love this little snake, he's super sweet, still just a tad head shy, but we're working on it. I have to admit though, as i alluded to above, i hope he doesn't stay too too small. I know they are slow growers; he'll be two years old in June and right now he about 30 inches long and a bit thicker than a garden hose at his widest point. He eats a small rat every 10 days (and i try to find the smallest of the "smalls"). I will post some pics, thought most of the ones i have right now are terrible selfies, tomorrow i will take some better ones. I would really love to get some input about his pattern etc, he was sold to me as a normal, which is fine as i didn't want to spend a lot and really am far more interested in the pet than the pattern, but i'm still curious as to what you all think.

Please keep the thread going, i am learning so much!!


My son LOVES him. He'll be 4 in June, the green thing is his pet boa.

Dude loves my ear, i was sure he was going to try and eat it at first but i think its just warm b/c he always sticks his face in there, its an "interesting" sensation. *He looks fatter than he is here, either camera distortion or he was spreading out to keep his grip my shoulder.

my dumb face and his cute one. i think around his jaw you can almost see a little bit of orange. he's got it on his belly somewhat, sort of like a Hogg(?) Breeder said his mother has it even more so.

awe, i'm sorry to hear that, man. but hey, i'll bet your resolve is even stronger now. its very encouraging to know he's a male, i mean i dont want to give my snake a complex, but i feel like a little bit of size it at least part of the boa appeal : )

Lady, Chaco looks great; those eyes! may i ask, how many snakes do you have? i ask b/c 3 weeks in and i already want another, although thats not going to happen for a while, we have a [human] baby coming this summer so i think its probably prudent to wait a bit ; )

i tried to get some more shots of Irwin, but i was only happy with this one.

Hey Kam, if you ever find yourself in NJ, i'll hook you up with his breeder, i think she still has one or two of his siblings. But seriously, he's been such a joy. I'd seen some comments on line about CAs having attitudes ("Napoleon complex", yeah right, projecting much?) but he was a puppy dog from the first time i held him, and he was in shed at that time. It looks like you had a similar experience with the the one that got away, but dont worry there are plenty of fish in the sea...er..snakes in the jungle.

Lady, wow, thats a lot of leather! Although the initial cost of the snake was a bit high with the tank and the heaters and all that, upkeep has been a bargain compared to my cats! This is how i've been trying to sell my wife on the snake: compared to the cats he is silent, he poops twice a month, he cant scratch the furniture, and he gets all his shedding done in one nice neat little package!https://ball-pythons.net/forums/images/icons/icon11.png Sounds like both your human and reptilian families bring you a great deal of joy, I'm truly happy for you.

And nice pics lady he looks like a real cutie. (PLEASE NOTE THIS PIC MAKES HIM SEEM HUGE)http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file.../fotb25a_1.jpg
After seeing the above pic i felt maybe i should stretch his feeding schedule a bit. This is him Christmas '14. http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file..._58_19_pro.jpg
This is him Christmas '15 with the stretched schedule. This pic gives a better idea of his true size and not the super huge feel of the first one.


And below is his little bro my albino red tail.
