She is 6months old and i bought her from a breeder names Sharon Moore of The Boa Store, shes a very nice lady, im very happy with this snake !

Ooh.. you got another snake! Very cool! She's got a great pattern there.

You want only R names? Try a search on one of the baby names websites.. you can search by starting letter and gender.

Yeah, another one !! :)


Actually i think im done with R names, there is not enough to go around.

Now im just looking for any cool name suggestions, i really like names with meanings.

Looks like a Suri or a Guyuna, is it? The pattern fades away, but the tail is so red! It might be a mix at least.

Nope, shes actually a colombian redtail. :)

Baby colombians usually have a stunning red tail.

You can search for names meaning 'red' or something like that. Just find a good name site and start looking around.. something's bound to catch your eye.

I hear that thier colors fade when they get older, when people say that do they mean just the tail or the whole body ??

When they say "fade" do they mean that the light colors will fade to dark or the lighter colors just get lighter ?? (talking about the body here)

They don't fade usually.. they brown out. Everything gets darker. This varies a lot from snake to snake though. It's comparable to how the colors change on ball pythons from hatchling to full grown.

Oh Brandon she's a beauty! Here's a link for pet names, you can use the search engine to find names by meaning or ethnic origin or whatever....hope it helps

I'm certainly no expert on columbians but if you look at Rauri's pics (and he's an adult male) his saddles are more in contrast to his background color than your girl. He does have a typical light and dark phase. His tail has retained a fair bit of color to my eye, but rather than red it's more of a mahogany I guess would decribed it best with a darker brown on the outside of each tail mark.

I'd bet a hundred she is a Bcc/Bci mix. You see that pattern }{ near the front. It does that over her front half and then fades into the tradional )( near the tail. Her face seems longer too. I place my bet...

Nope I don't think so at all. Plenty of pure BCI have a few weak widow's peaks {} That's a completely normal looking BCI head too.

Even my pure hogg island boa (dwarf BCI) has a couple weak peaks here and there.

I have two Columbians and they both have the }{ pattern at the fore parts of their bodies, that turn into saddles down their backs.


Maybe it is some mixing going on WAY back in the genetic line, who knows? I mean, c'mon, they all orginally came from the same place :)

For that matter.. plenty of BCC DON'T have widow's peaks at all. Lots of suris.. and most peruvians.

Well then :rolleyes: I take my bet back...

I've never saw one like that unless it was a mix, but I have been wrong before. That's too bad, mixes are really cool looking when they get bigger. ;)

Wow...she is beautiful, it looks like she is a little lighter than Rauri, i just LOVE her:P

Thanks :)

Yep, she might be lighter because she is a baby alot of people say they darken with age.

Yep.. baby boas are almost always lighter in color.
