Looks like Bob just put more of the 4th generation Maxx Pink babies on the Ancient Reproductions website. They’re certainly a large investment but are beautiful animals

Talked to bob a couple weeks ago and he actually told me that Mirabelle is indeed from his Maxx Pink lines. Just wasn’t explicitly labeled as such on the site when I got her. Really tempted to get a male to pair her with down the road.
Just weighed in at 163grams. 30 gram increase in two months

Me too dude! One of the best transitions I’ve made as a keeper in some time. Can’t help but want another now. Got plenty of cage space for them to grow into... the 8footer breaks into two 4x2.5x2 cages, can get a divider for the 6x2.5x1.5. Lots of options, all I’d have to do is make some changes to heat tape and heat panels when needed

Those pinks are eye catching. Stunning animal. WOW.

Your girl looks amazing JMC! And to think her colors are only going to get better as she grows.

Gave Mira loose bedding and fake foliage for the first time in her 8months of life this evening. Strange response as follows

Thanks JM!

With the exception of the Olive they are all full blown adults, so not much going on. The Olive has grown quite a bit in the 1.4 years I’ve had her. I’ll try to to get some pics wrangled up.

Missed a few of these brother.

I'm so happy you have a couple of boas!

I think you'd love a good coastal carpet man.

I'd love an Argy and a Suri.

Thanks buddy! I like the idea of having a carpet, but we’ll see. My friend back home just got 16 good eggs from his GTP the other day so... I may or may not have told him to put my name on one lol

Feeding this animal at 8’ is going to be an experience. Hits like a ton of bricks in a no warning, true ambush attack. Feeding when she’s in this cardboard tube is a blast. Can’t see what she’s doing at all then BAM!

I love it, ambushing from the tube!

Might have to change her name to Bullet or Cannonball. :)

I can can tell you first hand that my 8 foot Boa, Punch is as crazy fierce as Retics that I have seen. I never see the strike, only the aftermath of the coil. But I definitely feel it when he hits!

I don’t doubt that for a second! It’ll be several years before she’s that big but I look forward to it.

hApPiE BUrPhDaEy, MiRaBeLlE! This amazing critter turns 1yr old today. Not much to update on her aside from her doing very well here, weighing just over 200grams now, and shed a couple weeks ago. She’ll move up to full adult mice when my feeder order gets here next week.

She’s going to be absolutely stunning at 7-8’. Not that she doesn’t amaze me right now at barely over 2’

Bonus picture of her mother that Bob shared recently. She’s 8yrs old and ~20lbs

Happy 1st birthday.
She really is stunning jmcrook, I really love the max pink line of these Argentine boas
Mum looks amazing too, I look forward to these updates

Happy Birthday Mirabelle! What a gorgeous animal.

Happy Birthday Mirabelle!! She looks awesome JMC! She gets it from her mama. :)

Mirabelle is doing very well and growing quite nicely, maybe a little faster than Leonard. Somewhere around the 250gram range and maybe nearing 2.5’. Calm as can be out of the enclosure and hasn’t so much as huffed at me in months.

Thanks brother! She’s definitely more pink recently but still hasn’t darkened up too much. Can’t wait to see her at 7’+. She’s going to be a hefty animal for sure

I love her! Thanks for the pics! :)

She's stunning, them Pinks really pop wow

Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Wow. Gorgeous. Love the pinks!

Damn,,,,,

I'm envious!

Beautiful JM!

First shed in 4 months and gets some new digs for the occasion

Wow looking fantastic, love how light she is and her viv looks so cool too
I really like Argentine boas

Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

WOW. Looking beautiful.

Of all the new, discreet places to sleep in the new enclosure... Mirabelle chose to sleep in the open next to her water bowl last night haha

Love how most boas sleep in the open, nice to see them on show, rather than tucked up in there hides
Viv looks really good

Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Moments after her first weaned rat. Suffice to say she’d have been fine with a prey upgrade for some time. Better slower than faster though. I imagine we’ll be seeing some growth this spring/summer/fall and be on at least small rats before the fall or so.

Underrated boa species IMO.

I thing the dark coloring puts a lot of folks off.

I'm not one of them.

Beautiful species and very hardy as well.

Holy mackerel, look who found her perch!

That's a fantastic-looking enclosure she's got, I like that perch almost as much as she does. And what a gorgeous boa! :gj:

She's looking great, man!!! I really dig that setup too!!

I love when boas start displaying natural behaviors when given the chance.

Great catch there sir!
