After almost a month of not coming out of his hide:

He is freaking gorgeous. Will be fun to watch him grow, please do share with us!

Awesome looking boa!! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks everyone.

Great looker and seems awesome and calm, like most Boas.

I imagine he eats pretty well?

How old and how much does he weigh now?

Looks great.

Good on you for letting him hide for a long time.

He'll be the better for it from here on out.

Oh yeah crazy food response, he already hit the glass once...I walked too fast in front of him.

He's 2 years old and I haven't weigh him again... he's only fed 5 times with me. I was going to weigh him in August.

Fantastic pics Ricky,

Darby looks great and looks to be filling out just great.
one of my boas has white edges to his tongue

Great pictures, looking really nice.

Thank you both ;)

A few nights ago I opened the glass door and put a fan on him. He seemed to like it, he stayed there for a while.

Thank you Richard, like you noticed before he has filled up really nice, not the skinny snek I got 7 months ago.

They seem to fill out all of a sudden

Looking really nice Ricky.

Good looking boa. They’re always so curious.

He looks good Ricky. Super cute pics ;)

Is it just the lighting or has he been drinking blue Cool-Aid? :D -and I LOVE the way his eyes nearly disappear!

Thank you. He just shed. And I can finally capture in a picture the iridescent of his tail.

Got a baby snake today and is always so exiting getting new snakes, but I cannot forget about my Darby. Love this boa!

I few facts:
He'll turn 4 years old in 2 weeks. He's been with me for almost 2 years (May 2, 2018). He came in weighing 270 grams and today he weighs 1080 grams. He has been eating a 80g rat once a month during the winter. I feed him conservatively and I feed a little more in the summer (once every 2-3 weeks) as opposed to once a month during the winter. He's very healthy and feels very muscular when I take him out for some handling.
I haven't posted a picture of him for over a year so I wanted to do an update. :D

Darbys looking great mate

Thank you Richard

Great looking boa brother!

He's looking great! Your conservative feeding has definitely paid off on his physique!

For you that's a thank you and another big Thank You. I always remember the feeding advice you gave dakski in his "Behira -2016..." thread. Is post #53 and I always have referenced it when I wasn't sure what/how often to feed my boa. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. :bow:

What a beauty!
I think an outdoor picture or two is in order down the road!

Great idea Gio. I will post some outdoors pictures later.
Thanks

Not sure how I've missed this thread but, man! He looks great! Now let's see some updates on your Bredli!

Sounds good JM, but it'll be a few days because he's in shed right now.
