I need to stop researching snakes...

Leeetle island dwarf boas! Maybe I will have to break down someday on the boas and get a bitty one... I just love their faces so much. :love: So cute... I'm a sucker for Anerys too, and these guys lean in that direction with that classic Boa face, rarely getting more than 5'. Probably a good thing that they're not readily available, lol, we so can't play anymore Tetris in this place with our breeding plans. Boy do I need a snake room...

Crawl Cay Boa

Cay Caulker Boa

They may not be readily available, but the Central American BCI's are becoming alot more popular and are fairly easy to get a hold of. They also typically stay under five feet. They also have some great morphs already out there.

Ooh, I didn't realize Nicaraguan boas stayed so bitty... The Anery II morphs have some lovely irredecence to them too... I love the Guyanas but I know they get too big and fiesty! Hmmm, food for thought!

My favorite of the dwarf boas are either the hogg island(rarely over 6' for females) and the mexican dwarf boas(example at http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=8&de=404575)

Check out www.riobravoreptiles.com and look around. Gus is a great guy and says nice boas!

I had actually emailed Gus of Rio Bravo Reptiles and discussed getting a baby pair of Caulker Cay boas to start a breeding project. I would still like to do it someday, when I have more time and money. They're such nice looking little guys... :D And, honestly, I think the market is going to open up for the smaller breeds of boas.

Thats what I was thinking. People that want the boa look and personality but don't want the size would probably give them a chance!

Good luck on those C.C. boas

Oh those Crawl Cay's are nice!

Very cool Nicci boa!! How big do the females get? Thats a really nice little boa

How did I forget your adorable bitty Bluefields, SPJ?! :fishslap: See, insomnia is bad for the brain. So cute! Gomez is a year old and bigger than her!

And thanks for the links, Pork Chops! *drools over boas for a while* Serinams and Guyanas slay me... it's the burgandy tails and high contrast kill me every time. But I know they get way too big for me.

My main thing with a boa is I'd want one that'd stay *relatively* on the silver side and stay small enough never to need/be tempted by rabbits. My house rabbits live more or less like cats roaming around, and it's nice that I can sit on the couch with Gomez or Ma-tsu without worrying about the bunny bouncing past working them up. I'm still careful, but it's not as stressful as say free range rats running around the apartment while a snake is on my lap. Especially the boid cruisers who are more inclined to sit on the couch with me (Ma-tsu? Sit still? Heaven forfend! Also, Gomez is wisely scared of fast moving rabbits) Also, it's just handy to have all my adults eating more or less similar sized rats.

As I work toward having more room around here, I may need to keep an eye on SPJ's Bluefield and Lady's C.C. projects! ;) And keep my eyes peeled on those Crawl Cays too... dangit, the wishlist just keeps growing!

Your welcome. Gus has some of the most amazing boas I have seen, not because of any kind of morphs but because he has so many Local Specific boas and his blood lines are as clean as they get these days. Won't find a "mutt" boa in his collection

Gus posted a pic on another website I used to belong to of him with a 12' Suri wrapped around his leg.

Boas are awesome :) I love our BCI and it is awesome to buy them little and watch them grow.

It seems growing is all they do!! lol

I mentioned the leetle Bluefields and Cays to Karen and she totally got excited :D Mwahaha... man, when I have a snake room we'll be in trouble. "Forget birthday presents, just send me snake fund money!" lol

Of all the above mentioned...I love the Mexican Dwarfs the most. They are so colorful and pretty. I will have a breeding pair of them one day.

I'm so boring with my love of subdued colored snakes, lol :oops: I'm a real sucker for cooler neutral shades over the oranges, or snakes with uber high contrast. I think they're all beautiful, but I highly lean toward the paler neutral colored boas over the warm colored ones twer I to pick out somebody to take home. :D

I've definitely got my heart set on a male Caulker Cay at some point in the future, the more I look into it. Small, naturally rather anery in color, sound relatively docile, and still have that classy handsome boa face :D *adds to the someday list* I'll probably go through Rio Bravo for em when I'm ready, unless Ladywhipple has some babies by then or some meant to be little fella falls into my lap like the beauties did. ;)

Rosy boas stay little too! I want eventually and hope to get one from Randy Wright, whom I met at a recent show and seems really nice. =)
