You've got a beautiful collection there Zig. Looks like a good thread to interest more folks into Morelia and Colubrids. You are a good ambassador for such. :)
Beautiful specimens of all of them.

Re: Last to first
Thanks Reinz. I'm thinking of adding one last critter and I'm torn between a Sunglow Boa and an Albino Carpet Python. I've never kept Boas before.

Get the Boa!
Boas as are so cool in their own right. A little more laid back compared to Carpets and lots of Colubrids, and more social as well. Boas are very hearty and easy to care for. Not picky about everything like BPs. Boas are not pet rocks either. But they DO Rock! :partyon:

Any recommendations and whom to get it from? One that would be somewhat large as an adult is preferred.
I just jumped in and took over the thread from ziggy. Sorry. Hahaha

I don't know where to get an adult other than the classified area. I sort of rescued my adults off of Craig's List.
Gio thinks Legacy Reptiles(?) is top notch. But I wouldn't know if they had any adults to let go.

Re: Last to first
actually looking for maybe a yearling that would grow to a good size adult.

You might want to start a new thread in the Boa section. You may get some good recommendations.

Get both, it's the right thing to do ;). If you go albino carpet, I recommend pure Darwin, which unfortunately has become the minority of available albinos.

I am a bit of a purist Dennis but why do you recommend the Darwin instead of a great looking cross which I've seen a few of lately? I really don't have any breeding plans. I'm just looking for a beautiful snake.

Well, just because that's what I would do, LOL. I really have no preference and keep plenty of morelia mixes in my collection. Just tipping you off that most albinos these days are crosses.

LOL. The pure Darwin is actually my first choice too Dennis. I'm just not sure I want to drop a G-note on one, especially since I can get an equally aesthetically pleasing animal with good genetics for much less. I've got 0.1 JJ x JCP and the other 3 carpets are all pure Jungle, Coastal and Bredli. If I add a female albino and I'll have a nice carpet rainbow. :D
