Yep,

Get yourself a boa constrictor!

Loads of pictures here from the I-Phone.

Off to a nice start with this Barranquilla, Colombian Boa Constrictor!

Sniper finally got outdoors.

He's much bigger this year after a winter off feed.

He's still holding his color remarkably well at almost 6 years old.

That’s one hell of a nice boa, great head spear some of my boas have that nice cross over the eyebrows and as you say great colour still, great tail markings , almost like ladder tail markings , really nice headshots too I love boa eyes

Sniper is a fine example of what the ideal Boa body shape should be. Looking good!

All has been said already so I’ll just throw out a DAMN

such nice creamy pale background coloration, he's got amazing contrast! great photos as always :gj:

Wow, Very Impressive animal! Love the name and the awesome pics, thanks for sharing them with us!!

Boas are gorgeous but may I just add, you have the world's most perfect lawn. My yard looks like a field of dried hay and rocks. #texassun

I miss those kinds of yards were the grass is as dry as hay and to walk out on it would be like walking on little pieces of wood chips that make a crunch sound when you walk over it...And oh dont forget, there is no rain in sight for days!!! Yep I miss Texas for sure ...But Toronto has a summer that if you blink to fast it's already gone..that sucks!! Enjoy it while you can hilabeans.

Oh sorry to get off the topic...Very impressive boa! Thank you for sharing!!

Who ever said there ain't no cure for the summertime blues??? Oh yeah, it was The Who. After Eddie Cochran. Lol. Those pics are stunning

Totally agree with Reinz!

Gio, all I can say about Sniper is that he is an amazing specimen. On the flip side, you definitely know how to feed and care for him.
I picked up The Complete Boa Constrictor and I will be doing the winter temp/humidity drop and off feed like Vin Russo suggests. Sniper is an excellent prove that this method works well. :gj:

Thanks Reinz.

The boa is the product of selective breeding by Mr. Gus Rentfro.

The feeding schedule is another bonus. I have access to Gus's old website, and Vince Russo's
THE COMPLETE BOA CONSTRICTOR book.

Those men know boas and their needs.

I'm lucky to have been able to purchase Sniper.

I'm thankful for the quality information I was able to read, understand and follow to keep him in excellent health.
