Those are awesome!!

You mind telling me what the price range was for little guys?

the guy selling them was in my herp club so i got a good deal. he had them listed on kingsnake for $45.

Those are awesome Lucas.

You are building quite a diverse collection.

they look amaizing and really not expensive, how big do they get? same as red tails?.
Congrats

3 foot average for ground boas. Care's a lot different than red tails too. Can be quite difficult, but fun snakes.

Awsome little boas.
Can you post a good care link

Smooth pick ups! What type of enclosure do you have them in? They are so tiny:gj:

it should be noted that from what people have been telling me is that these are tricky to get started. they wouldn't even look at a pinky so im getting some frogs. deff not a beginer snake!!

Judd, they are in large deli cups. i think they are the 6" diameter ones. the deli cups are in a tub with a heater. they are in a serious QT way away from my others.

Tiny little darlins :)

Congrats! My brother (Freelancer) just picked what he was told is a Solomon Ground Boa, but it is bigger than yours (& supposedly feeding on pinkies already). The rep store I always go to has a pair of Dwarf Isabel Island Ground Boas (just repeating what's on the tank label) that they are in the process of converting.

H-O-L-Y Cow those are tiny!!! sooo coool!! I just ordered a pair of Caulkers cay boas should be here next tuesday.. Gratz!! those are tooo awesome..

i know some baby boas with some nice fat bellies full of frogs!!!

Great!!!! Will you still need pinkies?

yea. i just have to start them off on frogs and then switch to pinkys
