    Looking Great At Eight.
    The Royal started things off here, but she's my son's snake.

    This is my first snake and he's hitting the 8 year mark tomorrow.

    I snapped these photos of Sniper tonight.


    Male, Barranquilla, Colombian Boa. He's a locality boa produced by Gus Rentfro.

    I'd say he's perfect!

    He's heavy and just around the 7 foot mark.

    Every time I bring him out I wonder why I only have 1 boa.

    What a beautiful animal, I'm honored to have this guy. Happy 8th buddy!

    He does look great! Now that my grass is freshly mowed maybe I'll take my bigger boa out, he's only a year younger, haven't weighed or measured him lately though. I posted something about one of my snakes being 8 this year and my niece wanted to know how long they lived, told her I might need to put her in the will to take them just in case and she thought that was fine.

    Sniper's looking great Gio! Happy eighth birthday buddy!

    Real talk: Vin had some nice looking male Barranquilla boas at his table the day I got Adelita, and I almost walked away with one of those guys instead. Part of me is considering going back for one, so to speak. Sniper is a very good ambassador for his locality!

    Postal,
    You have a beautiful BC (BCC).

    I'm anxious to see some outdoor pictures.

    Everybody else,,,, thank you.

    This locale, if you read Vin's book, is considered to be a "natural intergrade". From my interpretation of what Vin wrote in the book, the Barranquilla locale is somewhat BCC and BCI.

    I find my boy very hardy and easy to maintain. He's a bit larger than some male boas, but Gus Rentfro, Sniper's breeder, said there is no reason a non breeding, male boa can't attain close to the size of a female boa.

    Long and healthy living is the key.

    Depending on the species I find certain lengths optimal for handling and care. Sniper is semi large, impressive and still easy to handle and house.

    He's very easy and unfortunately, every time I have him out, I want another boa, either a female version of him or a Surinam, Pokigron BCC.

    Honestly, these Barranquilla boas are very easy to care for and I'd be hard pressed not to get another if I had an opportunity.
