A couple boa pics

Diva was looking mighty fine tonight so I snapped a pic.

I really wish I could capture Rowan's lavenders and pinks. This snake takes my breath away. He's a nice fellow too. :)

Ophelia, on the other hand, is not such a nice gal. She tried to bite me, then decided she wanted to take my glove (you can see she has it in her tail there) and almost knock Rowan's cage over. Then she went behind her cage and didn't want to come out. I finally did get her back in. Stinker. This is a STRONG snake. She's around 7'. The measure pic isn't great because she was just deciding to leave, and the measurer program doesn't work right unless the pic's straight ahead and the snake isn't curled around the side of the container :rolleyes:

OMG! u have my attention now! lol thats one of the most beautiful hoggs i have ever seen just a striking amazing snake! i hope to breed my normal bci mary jane with a pure hogg in the future just gotta give my snakes some age lol.u have any future hogg projects?

Thank you. :)

I am very proud of my hoggie girl. She's the nicest I've ever seen too. I am on the look out for a suitable mate for her. Hopefully next year I will breed her.

i had a great chance at a killer hogg but do to some altercations at my previous employer i didnt recive my full final check. and missed out but i know a will find another in the near future lol

Very nice. Always glad to see pics or your boas! :)

I hope you do. I've found it hard to find another hoggie that I even like. I don't really know what the exact difference is between her and most other hoggies.. I thought it was less speckling, but she has plenty of freckles (which I think she wears very well) I think they are just.. cleaner somehow. And she has more orange. She's even in her dark phase in that pic. Hog island boas change colors like crazy.

she is just amazing i cant get over it lol.

Great pics April! Diva's orange is so striking and Rowan's tail is to die for for!

BEAUTIFUL animals!!
Ophelia sounds like a real handful to take care of! LOL But how could you ever get mad at such a beauty? ;)

how is Diva's nose? i know last time i saw a pic of her it was pretty rubbed off but it looks ok now in that pic.

great lookin boas, April. good luck with finding Diva a mate!

I can honestly say I've never gotten mad at a snake. They do try me sometimes though. :)

Diva's nose is better, but she has no nostrils so she has to breathe with mouth open. Poor baby.

*looks both ways... nabs Rowen and runs off! Has no room and is forced to return him* ;) What a beautiful charmer you have there! Wow. :) You have SO many gorgeous snake kiddies, Shelby!

I am proud to say that both Rowan and Ophelia POUNDED their rats last night. They acted like they hadn't eaten in months!

Beeeuuutiful snakes, April!!! Is Rowan considered a pastel??? I have the opportunity to get a pastel baby, but I'm not sure what a Columbian pastel would look like IRL. As an adult, could I expect my baby's colors to turn out like Rowan's?????

Thanks!

No, Rowan is a completely normal (if lovely) Surinam BCC.

Colombian BCI pastels can be quite nice looking snakes, but it's a bit much to expect them to look anything like a nice BCC. Remember BCI tend to darken and dull with age.. BCC do to an extent too, but they often keep insane colors as adults.
