Snake ID?

Any ideas what these guys are? Red Tail or some sort of Retic?http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file.../7/0/2nd_1.jpghttp://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file...2nd_snake4.jpg

Looks like a hypo boa (bci / common boa). I just picked one up at a show about a month ago. They get about 5.5 -7 feet long (females will be a good bit heavier / longer than males). They will also eventually need a 4' x 2' x 15"+ cage (more if a female).

Be careful with feeding. You should feed items no larger than the widest part of the boa and it should not leave a lump. Boas also need to eat less often than other snakes as they age (1-1.5 weeks for babies, from 1.5 years on, every 2 weeks, some adults go every 3 weeks between meals). The boa should have a "loaf" shape (like a loaf of bread) if it is getting round, it is too fat.

Care similar to BPs, but slightly lower temps (88f hot spot, high 70's ambient). Similar humidity to a BP as well.

It is a Hypo Boa Constrictor Imperator.

Pics would be awesome

From the pics, I would have to concur. A hypo boa constrictor imperator.

Thanks :)

Thanks everybody. This wont let me post pics except to the gallery. Any chance you could look and tell me what you think Henry is? (my other so called BP)

Where are the pics of Henry? I only see the two you posted above in your gallery.

Upload the pics to a photo-sharing site like Photobucket. Once you do that, if you hover over the pic you uploaded there, you can click the cog-wheel in the upper right corner and choose "get links". Then select the IMG code for forums/boards. Simply copy and paste that link into your post here.

I recently uploaded a couple of "Henry" to the gallery....
Thank you
