We finally got a true red tail!

This little girl is amazing! My wife is the boa keeper in the house, and has been drooling over Suriname's for awhile. I'm glad we where able to add her!

That tail omg! She is a real beauty. I recently got a couple boas including a suri male and it's really got me wishing I had more room for boas. So many stunning species out there.

Thank you! Her pattern and tail made her instantly a must have animal for me

I'm not real big on boas but that one is stunning. Nice grab.

Wow, what stunner! Congrats! :sweeet:

THAT TAIL. :omg:

Beautiful! I'm still on the hunt for my first boa. Is it true the true red tail are generally less handable feistier than the Colombians?

Wooooow! Make me a clone! LOL

Grats on the worm. Nice looking Suri.

BCC require a little more detail to their care and feeding than BCI. They are more prone to regurgitate and need closer temps specs but can be just as friendly as a BCI. As with any snake though, you need to work with them. Just BCC are more delicate where as a BCI tend to eat anytime, anywhere and you can be sloppy with their husbandry to an extent.

No, BCC are typically more chill, especially as they age. A 12' snake knows it's an apex predator.

It's the dwarf localities that can remain defensive into adulthood, which makes sense because a 5' snake is at a higher risk for becoming a tasty snack for a bigger predator.

I would feed any true BCC from Suriname or Guyana mice for the first year of it's life.

I have a friend here that has 2 beautiful Suriname BCC from Gus Rentfro. He finds them a bit more timid/less social than his Argentine boas but by no means defensive.

Years of selective, captive breeding, knowledge and improved caging have made BCC boas much easier to care for.

THE COMPLETE BOA CONSTRICTOR by Vincent Russo, and anything written on the internet by Gus Rentfro are excellent sources for the care of boa constrictors.

Sorry,

I forgot to add that you have a nice snake there.

I also agree that the island boas tend be more irascible than the mainland boas. A Colombian BCI has probably the most even temperament across the board when it comes to boa constrictors, but it really comes down to the individual snake in the end.

So gorgeous! 😍 I want a true red tail so bad.
