She’s such a great colour for a 100% pure locality

Simply sensational!

Cracking set of pictures and I love the locale.

Island boas are underrated!

Thanks gio,
I agree the corn islands really are underrated, her parents was a vin Russo import so probably helps with outstanding genetics too

I figured Vin or Gus Rentfro had some part of the mix there.

I've read and researched a fair amount on boa constrictors. I like the island boas. They tend to be slightly more arboreal, and their diets are based more on migrations than the mainland boas.

Similar to the dwarf populations of retics which is interesting

I enjoy seeing these a lot!

It's weird my mainland Nicaraguan feels totally different to red nic , red nic almost feels like a colubrid if that makes sense. the red nics feel alot smoother and there looks are so different even there head shape . there light and dark phase is pretty extreme from a nice light grey to an almost kaki green/grey

Came back from holiday and my 3year old red NIC was looking nicely fired up with loads of flushing, she's really filling out nicely

Nice boas! Corn Islands have some of the most dramatic color phases.

My corn island was in her light phase tonight,such a nice light grey, can still see some of her pink sides near her tail

Looking great Rich. I LOVE all your boas!

Thanks el Ziggy . Her colour change is the most extreme I have in my boa collection.
Her head also looks longer than Normal boas and she's feels alot smoother too

My 4yr old was looking great tonight, really on fire, so I grabbed some pics of her. I love her nice grey head compared to her red belly and tailhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0a3bce08da.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0fdfb7fc00.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3a0be34502.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...02a9d23581.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fedbe212e7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d908c631db.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...95145584ab.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...111502a4c4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...de2505374d.jpg
