stunning boa photo

:shock: I bet you my kidney, I can't afford him.

I'd love to have your job, working with reptiles.
You get to breed beautiful snakes for a living. :(

He will change his color over time though, correct?

I really like the silver ones like that, or the pewter colored ones. It's once they get the buckskin color that I stop thinking they're particularly attractive, though I still like them for their personalities, body structure, etc.

Wow, I couldn't of put it better myself. :shock:

Hmm.. I wonder how a snow BCC would look. They tend to not darken so much as BCIs.

Have you guys seen arabesque and jungle boas? They're really neat looking IMO, but I don't care for the salmons either.

The arabesques are beautiful, and might satisfy those who miss the red tails. I'm not really a fan of the salmons, though the super jungles are pretty interesting looking.

Those snows are pretty sweat.
I think I druther have a sunglo or a suriname though.
Man there are some screaming BCC's out there...

KLG-
not saying I dissagree with you, but I am sure the majority of NERD boas are a lot more colorful then what you will find at the average breeder.

See, I think just the opposite. (aren't opinions & preferences a great thing? ;) ) To me a light, clean, creamy-buckskin boa with pink highlighting & big, dark, blocky saddles is just the epitome of a sexy Colombian.

Speaking of silver boas though, have you seen the anerythristic blood boas that Tracy is working with at VPI? Now THOSE are incredible. Just silver & black...awesome little snakes!

Also, there are a lot of selectively bred ghost boas these days that remain very grey into adulthood - good looking critters!

I think it's the difference in tastes that encourages pusuit of so many different morphs, and I'm all for that. If you subtract the pink, standard Colombian colors are actually the colors of my bedroom, so they are colors I like but for some reason I just prefer the silvery boas. I guess I haven't seen the Barkers' anerythristic blood boas -- are they a cross or is that maybe a typo? If their coloring is anything like pewter balls, I'm sure I would love their look.

Blood boas - they're a race of Central American boas that turn primarily a dark orangey-red as they mature. The anery version is actually called a pewter boa & they're gorgeous!
