Rango

Figure I'd start a thread on little Rango. He's a male salmon DH snowglow and he's almost 11 months old now. He took a HUGE poop tonight to show his approval of Eco Earth and started cruising around looking for food I'm assuming lol. Hopefully his and Dottie's T8s ship out next week.

Wow! He looks amazing Sau. His coloration is extremely stunning. Congrats. :gj:

He's a great looking addition to your beautiful collection.

Thanks. I'm rather surprised as he's not shy and likes to investigate stuff going on. He isn't used to being handled it seems though as when I pick him up, he kind of flails a little like he's scared he's going to be dropped lol. Once he's settled on me though, he calms down. In his quarantine cage, he comes right up to the front to see whats going on at night when i'm looking at him.

Awesome looking boa Sauzo. You have some really nice critters!

I think I missed this.

So, you snuck in another one LOL!

I'm waiting for your BCC.

Have you looked into the Iquitos locale?

Its my personal favorite of the Peruvian BCC, but I know you like the Pucallpa.

I'm wondering if there is a big difference in price between the two.

Check out Ed's Pucallpa.

I've looked at Iquitos and you know if I found one that caught my fancy, I'd probably get it. I mean honestly when I look at the two together, I personally don't really see a huge difference in them. I mean the differences I notice are just from animal to animal and not an overall species to species. I mean I might be blind.

As for price, I have no idea as I haven't looked around for an Iquitos.

And dang, looking at Ed's Pucallpa makes me want one more. I got such a long time to wait.....

Heck while I want a Pucallpa, you know to tell you the truth, if I ran across a really bright and clean Suriname or Guyana, I might bite on that. But would have to be really bright and clean. That's what I want in my Peruvian too, clean clean clean golden brown top :)

And yeah, I picked Rango up a few weeks ago. He's from Tony Hawkins at 2nd Alarm Reptiles. Salmon 100% DH for sharp albino and anery thus making him DH snowglow because of the hypo. He's such a curious little snake too. I've reached in over his head and he just looks at me lol. Not scared but curious haha.

Well,

You are doing it right.

I am envious, and I think if I had a shot at a Suri, I go for it too!

Sauzo, Suri,,, Hmmmm they both have an S and a U in them LOL!

Good for you bud.

Looks like Im back looking at Monster Cages. I texted Matt and I have an unbelievable price on a 6 foot long by 30 in deep by 30" tall cage.

Honestly I can't take my eyes off those AP cages of yours as I thing they are one of the best retic cages out there.

However, I'd be looking at close to a grand for the AP cage I want after factoring in gear and delivery.

Check out Florida Redtails for some Suri or Guyana action. Be warned, they typically have stock that yields LARGE babies that turn into large adults!!

Wish I could do it.

Very nice!!

Cool, thanks for heads up. I got a few people I've been looking at too for Suris and Guyanas. I was looking at Star Shaffer's Suris but I snoozed there and she is pretty much out now. For Guyana's, there is Sarah Cooney who her 2 Guyana's just hooked up so probably babies later this year for those as well. Plus I've been checking with Buddy Young to see what he has floating around too. He has a 2015 south Peruvian male that is super clean that I've been eyeballing for $1075+ shipping. Man, I love a clean boa....I am tempted haha.

As for caging, yeah its going to be expensive for me lol. I'll just do the AP T25s as I want to match all my cages and having a stack of T10s, 4 T8s and 4 T25s would look awesome all decked in the same lights with all Herpstat Redlines on top. Of course, I'll be eating ramen noodles for the next 2 years lol.

But like I said, I always plan for one type of snake and then I get distracted by something shiny and go over to it haha. I'm like a kid in a candy store when I browse all these peoples' stock animals available haha. We'll see how the willpower holds out. I'm pretty sure though that my next snake will be a BCC as I always wanted one but man, another sexy SD retic is pretty tempting assuming its like Caesar in temperament.....not in food drive hahaha.

Buddy Young has wonderful options.

His Colombian stock is from Gus which is where Super is from.

I have been a regular member of Reptile Insider and know of a lot of boa constrictor people there, but sadly the board is dying off.
Star is awesome!

I'm very, very torn when it comes to favorites, but like you, I always fall back on boas. They combine the qualities of almost every snake I fancy.

I think you are doing the right thing with the AP cages. Pick the footprint you like and stick with it.

My last cage is obviously going to be the biggest for Wallace. He will have an iconic setup and that is really all my wife will tolerate and I'm OK with that. 4 different and pretty interesting species here is perfect.

However,,,,,,,,,, a Suri,,,,,,,, I want one LOL!

Havent updated Rango in a bit so here is a couple pics of him out and about the night before dinner. He dropped a huge deuce, I'm not even sure how he manages to make such huge poops for such a small snake lol. So now he's ready for dinner tomorrow. He'll be 1 year old end of this month, such a little worm. I think he is going to love his T8 with the shelf to play on.

Lol today is just lunge day for everyone. Caesar, Rosey, Vicky and Rango are all laying stretched out. I love Rango's eyes.
https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...efff03e8_h.jpg

Lol I swear, little boas love the gap on the AP cages. Here is Rango having a blast in it. He has been wagging his tail up and down the center brace for about 30 mins now LOL. I thought he was going to take a poop but nope, he is just practicing his love making skills on it I guess haha.

Little Rango out while I stirred an got his substrate damp again.

I love natural light, outdoor shots!

Well done here!

The snake's colors look great and I'm sure they will get better with age.

I hope you photograph all of your snakes outside. Gina and Caesar will blow up outside!

Thanks. Next time when i have more time to try and 'pose' the snakes, I'll try and catch his sides. They are getting nice and salmon colored with age.

He's looking good man.

Mine do the same thing against the glass....must be a boa thing...I'll find out next week if the new one does it as well. LOL

Well caught Rango outside also after I saw Gina windshield wiping. He wouldn't grace me with his tail but I love how clean his body is.https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...2046103b_h.jpghttps://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...53d83459_h.jpg

Ok i havent posted a pic of Rango in a LONG time. He is not very photogenic outside the cage as he was dropped or somehow traumatized when he was tiny. So he is very scared of being dropped and tends to flail a bit unless you hold his tail or he wraps it around your hand. He is slowly getting better but like Dottie with her force feeding trauma as a baby at the pet shop, it will be a long road. But anyways, had Rango outside for some pics and you can see all the nice reddish color on him. He's a salmon DH sharp snowglow.
https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...4feff45d_o.jpg

He's really beautiful. How awful for the drop trauma. :tears:

Wow what a beautiful color, really love the salmon coloration. The tail is really nicely spaced out. Back in the nineties I dealt with Peter Kalh, it reminds of how much I always loved boas. And the ones I got from him, always had the sweetest tails. Thanks for sharing!

He's a great colour sauzo and looks really healthy ,I do love a really good salmon,you see some and they are not a good example at all with hardly any colour

My goodness, Rango is a stud!!!

...its gonna be impossible for me to decide between a boa and a bredli/carpet if I keep looking at threads like these!!!

Looks nice and peachy in the natural sunlight

Rango woke up and decided to soak up the fresh air of an open cage door too lol.

Looking pink!

I am very impressed.

They look happy and healthy. Their colors are stunningly beautiful.

Good job! :)

Yeah, he is pretty pink/reddish. In the sun, you can really see it. He is also clearing up a lot and losing most of his darker patterns and splotches. If you look at his old pics, his head is a lot darker with dark patterning, now its pretty clear.

Thanks. I try and make sure all my guys and gals are happy as far a snake can be happy lol.

Although i can never satisfy their hunger lol. They always want to eat.

All your snakes are magnificent, what a gorgeous face! Almost as handsome as Caesar ;) love your set ups great picture thank you for sharing :D now to update Prince Caesar thread lol :P

P.s. I am a sucker for those mustache that boas have so cute:P

Thanks. Haha, nothing really new with Caesar. He ate a huge guinea pig and then shoved his warm side hide forward against the cage door and then curled up behind it haha. He popped his head out to see what i was up to when i opened his door today for fresh air as i had the windows open. When he saw nothing was happening, he curled back up.

And yeah, i like boa mustaches too lol. Gina and Rango got the awesome ones. Rosey got cheated and only has 2 black dots on the end of her snout lol.

Was take a close look at his mustache and thought that little black for under his chin kinda of a goatee your snake Sauzo is one of the Three Musketeers! Why didn't you tell us:rofl::rofl:
