    A few new Boa's

    I picked up a few Boa's last night. I'm normally a Retic and Burm guy but in the last few years I've moved to Ball pythons. So I don't know much about Boa's. I got these 2 for $350 from a guy in Niagara Falls , NY. Could anyone help me properly identify them? I was told regular Albino and a Hypo het for Albino.

    First is a little 2016 Albino Female. She is shedding and didn't have good humidity so I will soak her tonight.


    This one was sold to me as a 2015 Hypo het for Albino Female. I love the orange tail on her.

    Welcome to Boas, they Rock! Congrats on your new beauties!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Nice boas. Looks pretty accurate. I wouldn't soak the boa if it's in shed. Just bump up the humidity and offer a big water bowl for if the snake decided it wants to soak.

    Thanks. They didn't have any humidity in the where I got them and the poor little albino had the old skin just kind of on her almost like a sock. I figured that if she didn't loose it in a day or so I would try soaking her. I didn't have to. Once she got in the proper humidity she came right out of it.
