Progression of my boas

[Sauzo]

Yeah I don't have any big plans as mine reasons would be the same as yours, just to say I've done it and have a snake that I actually produced.

Same reason I'd like to do the same eventually. Awesome looking boas y'all! Someday I'll join the club. Kinda want a Brazilian Rainbow Boa, an ATB, or a BCC.

A locality boa would be cool, i really like peruvian BCCS

[Sauzo]

Same. I'll be getting a Pucallpa Peruvian BCC from either Vin Russo or Joel Diaz this fall if everything goes good on their end. They definitely aren't cheap though. Vin's will be starting around $1000 and going up from there based on color and pattern and Joel's will start at around $600 and going up from there based on color and pattern too. They are both from Rentfro stock though so you know they will be good. I gotta start saving the pennies now so I can hopefully get a smoking hot female one

I attempted to get pictures of the two next to a tape measure to try and give perspective of size. PLEASE KNOW i have followed your advise, though the pictures are on the same table, i sterilized the glass as well as switched the pane for each snake, and used two seperate tape measures. Nothing in the images came in contact with both snakes, and everything was sterilized just in case.

Here is stella, she did a bit better to spread out and sit still for me:



And the yet to be named Hypo (any name suggestions?):

Heres a few pics in natural sunlight, finally got weather decent enough to get them out for a little bit. These ones still dont do them any justice, the hypo is legit salmon colored all the way down her sides and stella has nice pale sides with pink blotches throughout

Also took a weigh in today, Stella came in at 426g at a few days over 8 months old, and Red? (still not sure about a name!) came in at 147g @ a few days short of 10 months old. Which is a massive difference. Stella has been switched to adult rats and both snakes feed on the same day ranging between 7-10 days. Everything seems to be normal and healthy, i'm hoping that stella's relatively large size is genetic and not due to being fed rat pups early on. Anyone with long term experience know if overfeeding was the case, will it be enough to affect her lifespan already? I want her to live forever! Also ive seen alot of careguides in which yearlings are swithced to bi-weekly feedings which is what i was planning on as it seems to be widely accepted as appropriate. Is this based on size or maturity from age? Should i bump Stellas feedings out now or wait the four months until she reaches a year? Thanks ahead of time!

Typo, meant to say adult mice

Heres an update:
Havent actually taken new measurements but stella is easily longer than a yard stick now, so 36+ inches. Weighed her yesterday at 569g, but she is due for a poo any day now if she sticks to her usual schedule. Also here are a few pics i snagged last month, stella was not cooperative so i i couldnt capture how bright the sides of her tail still are compared to her saddles.




I also weighed Enzo last night after cleaning a fresh poo and she came in at 255g, and is definately longer than when i brought her home. Heres some photos from the same shoot

really like the new photos, well done!
