Yea, I thought the same thing then I realized this snake probably easily has a 10k+ price tag on it, so it'll be a very very long time before I ever owned one, then not to mention I know absolutely nothing on the species.

What cornsnake morph?

Also could you imagine the medias take on the snake would be? I could see it now labeling it as a natural looking killer blah blah blah.

Species schmecies. Add heat, hide and rat, BOOM done!


Just kidding kids. Be responsible and do your homework before bringing any animal home ;)

Aha, dude. You just made me spit out my drink with that. Wow. I love it. That's going to be my new quote.

What about humidity though :D

Not as intense as your find, though. Just reminds me of it.

Is that...a uh...brb morph?

Nope. While it is a morph it's not a BRB. Probably close though. I'm just curious to see if anybody knows it before I spoil it and name it :D.

That was my first thought when I seen the picture until I blew it up. It's honestly the most amazing looking snake ever. I mean like ever.

Adults are about 5-6' with very rare cases of them being 7-8'

EDIT:
This is based on the information that I've found on them.

Rare or more common species?

That's what I thought. It reminds me of a high-white calico BRB. But I guess we were both wrong.....

that snake is so metal.

Alright, alright I'll spit it out.

It's a Dominican Red Mountain Boa

Here are some pics of a normal, which do kinda remind me of a BRB in color because of the irra-however-you-spell-it-descence :P.

The morph that you've seen was a Calico.

What the hizzle?! I NEED THAT RED! JEEBUS

Believe it or not they have a pair on kingsnake right now for like $1900 shipped or something. It was a pair purchased from Tom Crutchfield. So with that in mind I'm sure you can get babies from him for quite a bit cheaper.

I KNEW IT WAS A CALICO!!! :banana:


Dang. I also knew I needed some Dominican Reds in my collection...........

I'm reading up on them now. You sir, have just given me the answer to my ongoing "What boa species do I want to get" question. My god. They are amazing! They are like BRBs (which I love) but without the craptastic version of calico, and instead, have a freaking INSANE version. Win freaking win :D

This is awesome Neal thanks for the share I made it to the topic late. It looks like it got sucked under a push mower and lightly hit by a blade and the person heard the donk from the push mower. Stopped it, pulled the snake out and nursed it back to health. If I owned this snake I would give it a cool name like Slipknot.

$1975/pair from tom. Hatchling price. Must...start...saving...money. Like, NOW.

Edit: That price for the reds, he's got brown's listed at $195 per. LOL quite the difference in price there!

That's good, get a pair and breed them so I can get a baby from you for a very good price since I turned you onto that species :D. I'm glad I could help though.

Yea, that snake just reminds you of metal. I wouldn't of named the morph Calico personally. I would of named it Hellraiser, but that's just me. The first thing I thought about when I seen the snake was:

Wait, the browns are normal then? I thought the reds were. Wow, still got a lot of researching then, lol. Yea save your money so I can get one down the road, or hey go take out a loan and get started early :P

I'm talking about the base locality, Dominican Red Mountain Boa's. I don't think they'll be selling anything calico related for a while ;) They JUST introduced the locality back in '09 at Daytona. So this species is brand-spankin new to the hobby

The browns and reds are both "Normal", it's just line breeding. He even said he had a brown turn red after a while.

The reds are more sought after and visually stunning, plus higher chance of producing reds. This is all just my take on it from the very little research I've done in the past 10 minutes :P lol Must email Tom :ninja:

Edit: Actually, I'm probably wrong on that...I doubt there would be THAT huge a price difference if you could make reds with the browns or something :P

Yea, the price says new too, lol.

I need to stop coming on here. Every time I do I find something else I want LOL. Awesome looking snakes!

But, you can't refuse a hobbyist's help. Can you? Isn't there some kind of code or law about that? I believe there is :D

The exact reason I would never move up North. I don't like snow. It's great every once in awhile but not several times a year, lol.

Yeah we usually get buried in snow most winters. Every once in awhile we get a year where we hardly get any but it's rare. I don't like snow that much but I also don't handle heat and humidity very well. So I'm not sure how well I would do in the south. Usually by mid July I'm praying for fall lol.

to me in the pic I think it looks pretty cool. But I feel like in person it would just blow you away

It's like a cooler version of the Cow Reticulated Python

Yea, well if you can tolerate the heat assuming you don't work outside it's honestly not bad.

Oh yea I'm sure it would. Pics are always nice but you can't compare what the eye can see.

Eww. lol.

Also just those who are curious about what the prices look like on this snake(keep in mind this is the red version not the awesome Calico morph) I spoke with Tom Crutchfield and this was his response:

Tom Crutchfield
