Corn island boas

About a month ago I got a new pair of 100% pure locality boas
These pair was being co habited and the male has a few scars on his head, but will definitely disappear after a few sheds,
I had a pair a few years ago and haven't found any since when I saw this pair come up for sale, I soon snatched them up.
Thes are very active boas and live most of the time on the branches, both are super chilled and change colour like chameleons from a kaki green to a really light grey, here a few pics from the week I got them

Took a great couple pics of the male today
I fed the female last night so didn't want to disturb her
You can see why they called fire bellied nics or red nics as the from the corn Islands of the coast of Nicaragua https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a5367e7819.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f4c555ad4b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7652487510.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d21f49266b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c7b54c1043.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2a64c0a6bb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...593f470136.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f985c58fd4.jpg

Lots of good things happening there, really cool.

They're gorgeous. Since they were being co-habbed I'd prepare for babies just in case.

Those boas look great! Congrats on the pick up. I've been looking for a pair of corns for a while now with no luck. Glad they're in good hands and no longer being cohabed.

He was away in Iraq on tour for months at a time and the corns are pretty active so his Mrs couldn't keep them all, would of been a bit easier if they had been separated for her like, he had retics too and royals, he was downsizing with being away all the time, he said wasn't fair on his Mrs to look after them, so winner winner for me

Very nice pick ups! I was considering trying to purchase one since they're a really cool locality of boa, but Gomez and Feliz have convinced me to go the BC route.

Very cool critters indeed Rich. I'm glad they found a good home.

Thanks everyone [emoji106][emoji106]

Darn, Rich! The collection keeps growing and getting better!

Looking good!

Very nice Richard, congrats on the pair. :gj:

These are beautiful Boas, and what great photos! I had no idea that they had so many beautiful rust/red/pinkish colors.

Michael Beach, who I got my pair of Tarahumara from, was planning to breed Corns this year; I don't know how that's turned out, but if he isn't on the list of people you checked with, you might want to inquire.

Beautiful! I love seeing them enjoy those perches. They look so cozy all coiled up, but at the same time they're completely alert and interested in what's going on. Really lovely snakes.

Grabbed a couple of pics tonight after my male corn island shed last night, he really doesn't keep still, so hard to get pics of this pure locality boa.

It's nice to see the unique species.

Those are not your average boas.

Great collection sir.

I need to know how did I miss this beautiful thread.

I hear these boas love to wiggle and squirm a lot. I was also told they can be difficult getting on a feeding schedule when young. Any insight to this? But anyways looking nice boas

Thanks mate, they don't like to hold on that's for sure and very arboreal, there on there branches we'll over 80% of the time.
Not had them from little so not sure about feeding, but these two are little pigs, like most boas
