    Boelens Python Somalia Boeleni

    Um, how come nobody told me about these?? I'm going to build an 8' viv and sell a kidney.

    (Listen with sound off...unless you like obnoxious background music)


    I'm officially obsessed. Does anyone here have one?

    Hilabeans,

    Very cool snake. Katie showed me this video and I wasn't sure what kind of python it was (but I knew it was a python).

    Now, before you go talking about selling a kidney - which is highly illegal in the US - know your audience. In other words, if it comes to that, PM me!

    How big do they get? Seems calm as anything!

    You know I'd give you first dibs, daks!

    They get to be around 8'-10', but are arboreal and like some height. They appear to use every bit of space offered to them. The iridescence on them is insane. I really just can't believe how crazy beautiful they are. They are docile and curious - great temperaments. Very tricky to breed in captivity hence the hefty price tag.

    NERD has a pair for sale now for $12K.

    I think is was back in Nov/Dec there was a pair of adults on Kingsnake.com for $!2 K as well. The guy said that they were definitely not for beginners and this pair was not friendly. Might be the same pair at NERD, I don’t know.

    Around 3 years ago they was a member with one asking for husbandry help with his. He had pics of him handling it. It did not appear aggressive and he did not mention that is was. From what I gathered, husbandry was not so straight forward like BP’s, Carpets, and Boas.

    They are awesome snakes, sure wish I could afford one.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    1.2 Coastal Carpet Pythons
    Mack The Knife, 2013
    Lizzy, 2010
    Etta, 2013
    1.1 Jungle Carpet Pythons
    Esmarelda , 2014
    Sundance, 2012
    2.0 Common BI Boas, Punch, 2005; Butch, age?
    0.1 Normal Ball Python, Elvira, 2001
    0.1 Olive (Aussie) Python, Olivia, 2017

    Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

    I found some old threads of that member. He said his was friendly as can be.

    They tend to not thrive very long in captivity, some people have been successful keeping them for a number of years. I still remember Chad's from Pro Exotics, gorgeous animals.
