She's gorgeous, congrats! I love her eyes and tail as well.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Thanks, Reinz. Despite my new love affair with the Bloods and Short Tails, Boas have always been closest to my heart. I can definitely see this little stunner becoming my all time favorite. I can't even imagine how majestic this girl is going to be as an adult!
I'm a little weary about putting a lot of faith in possible supers proving out, though. So, I will most likely be searching for a boyfriend with the same or similar genes for her. It would definitely suck to wait 3 years for her to grow up and end up having her not prove out. Any information and insights on possible supers and recommendations for an ideal boyfriend for this girl you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Getting her to breeding size by age 3 is going to be pushing her, boas mature slower and benefit from being slow grown. A minimum of 5 years is generally preferred for breeding females. Not saying it can't be done earlier, just that it's better for the boa's overall health and litter viability to go slow. Anyways, just my $0.02.
Congrats on the new pick up! I have a soft spot for the anery gene, she has really pretty eyes.

Hi April. It's always great to have you chime in with your valuable insight and knowledge. Yes, I have seen many say that the larger the better for Boa breeding and I know that Boas are famous for breeding problems and complications. I guess 3 years might be pushing it a little for a female Boa. I was just sorta generalizing... I guess it will ultimately come down to how well she grows, so time will tell. I definitely won't be power feeding her or anything. Her health and the health of her offspring will definitely be priority one just like anything else I will ever breed. If it takes 5 years, so be it... Honestly, if this beauty never became anything more than a pet I would still keep her forever.
