Ah ok, guess I missed the het part. Boas can change their color to an extent depending on feeling. By this I mean they can darken and lighten a little, nothing like a chameleon color change or going from white to black. Plus they do tend to change a little as they age. I live in the stone age and don't have a digital camera so I cant take pictures of Rosey but when she was a baby, she was very light, almost looked hypo but now she is an adult and she is darker with a salmon belly and lower sides and he cheeks are a salmon color too. I have no idea what cross she is as she is a pet shop Colombian but she is the sweetest snake I own.

Nice looking mom and dad, I'm sure the baby will be great looking too. And you'll love boas, they are full of personality. Vicky has decided hides aren't cool anymore so now she buries herself under the aspen in the front of the cage with just her nose and eyes sticking out I'm guessing she thinks a mouse might walk past the front of the cage

Lol well they sound like awesome snakes! I can't wait till he gets here!!! I'll take tons of pictures!! I'm sitting here with my husbands spider ball wrapped around my neck lol he must be comfy cause he ain't moving too much lol.

Lol I think beepers spend their whole lives perfecting the art of using the least amount of energy to get things done About the only time I see Dottie come out is to poop, drink water or if she smells a rat during feeding time. Otherwise about every 2-3 days I will catch her poking her head out of her hide or moving from one hide to another. And yeah you're going to love your boa

Great choice! You should love your new boa. I enjoy my boas much more than my BPs (I have 3 of each now). The boas, as a whole, are much more outgoing and less scared.. They want to crawl and explore much more than the BPs (at least the ones I have).

A male BCI should top out at 6' or less (unless it is a freakish example) you can ask the breeder for lengths / weights on the parents to give you an idea. I only have males because I didn't want to deal with the size of an adult female Bci.

Good luck with him and be warned... You can't ever just have one boa.

Thank you!!! I can wait!!! I'd really love to get a sunglow if I can ever find a cheaper one than $200 lol my husband would kill me paying that much!

[Sauzo]

Lol yeah they aren't really cheap. Vicky ran me $400 and I consider that a pretty good deal for Redgroup/Burke Lipstick sunglow. I was eyeballing a female jungle sunglow from a Ronne line but I couldn't bring myself to drop $600 for it although it did have a nice stripy tail

[Dawn0816]

I'll eventually bring my self to get another after I get to spend time with my lil feller an learn more about boas as I go plus I have this awesome site to help
