    Jack and Jill are absolutely amazing! Their iradescence rivals a rainbow boas. Are they called Bimini Boas?

    Thanks all! They really are something special!

    Mike - they aren't too far off from the mainland Epicrates, so almost all of the West Indies boas have the same iridescence. They are called Bimini Island Boas and they should be getting darker and pretty black.

    Della - I sometimes see my snakes checking out their own reflections when the lighting hits the glass cages just right. I just wish I was able to capture more of the pinks on him/her.

    Luke - my Haitians should be producing later this year. If you'd like I can put you down on a waiting list for them. When they produce, the babies will start on geckos, but can be assist fed mice tails until they switch over to rodents. I currently assist feed the two babies every week - they actually are really calm and seem happy to eat when I help them. If you're looking for Bimini Island boas, it'll be a couple years before I produce any - and I believe we'll both need permits for interstate commerce since the Bimini's will possibly be listed as an endangered species by then.
