    Need pics of cranky boa w open mouth smile!
    I've seen some awesome ones but can't for the life of me remember which breeders posted them. A friend is looking for some good, straight on shots of boas with their mouth open. For a tattoo design.

    Not yawns or feeding pics.

    The ones where they open their mouth in a threatening manner.

    Can ya help me out??

    My little booger is sweet as pie, so no. Unless nobody pipes up and you want a feeding picture. If so I can try to get one of those. Sometimes when he eats he actually opens his mouth, while watching his prey, before he strikes, and you can see it for a second or two.

    The most my boa does is huffs, and even then you gotta work her into that. :rolleyes:

    You'd probably need to get images of a wild snake as most in captivity, specially on this forum, will generally not give an agression threat display like this.

    I've seen some grouchy looking hatchlings in Kingsnake ads before. I'd try checking there.

    I'll see if I can get a few of my new Argentine or Hog within the next couple days, I've seen their mad "smiles" a few times now :P

    I've googled and bing searched and found a few of those but I remember seeing one posted that was an amazing shot. I can't find that one anywhere.

    Argentine Boa like to open their mouth so you might find something by looking them up.

    My BCO likes to huff, puff, and hiss at me when I open his enclosure. So far, it's all been for show. I think that sticking a camera in front of his face while he his doing this might be a little too much temptation, but if I have a "Hey Y'all, watch this..." moment, I'll see what I can do...

    My girl has done this to me a couple times. Cranky thing. But no pictures. :P I know Jeff Ronne has some though. A couple of my girl's siblings were also cranky little buggers.
