    If I’m not mistaken,

    Didn’t I recommend one of these for your possible “next snake”?

    What an excellent addition

    Next to the Iquitos Peruvian locale and some rare Basin Suri and Guyana BCC.

    BCO is one of the largest boa constrictor species.

    Another nice feature is they keep at lower temps.

    They are the diamond pythons of the boa constrictor world.

    The southern most species!

    Nice El-Ziggy! She looks fantastic!

    BCO is an Argentinian Boa, correct?

    Haven't found much info on them. How big can she get? Bigger than a BCC female? That's a big lady you are going to have there if that's the case.

    Just curious. Either way, cannot wait to watch her grow, along with the rest of the crew!

    Re: The last straw.

    I love BCO! I've been in love with them for YEARS but have always been a bit intimidated by a.) their size and b.) their "typical" attitudes. I still think they're beautiful snakes, and am super jelly of that little baby right there.

    Re: The last straw.

    I must give credit where it's due. After reviewing the previous thread it was indeed Gio who originally made the BCO suggestion. Many thanks my friend . Another shout out to enginee837 for referring me to an awesome breeder Mr. Kurt Schatzl who produced a beautiful clutch of BCO babies this year and was kind enough to share one with me. Together Each Achieves More and I love it when a good plan comes together. I'm really excited to work with the new additions especially the boas. I saw my BCI in his light phase for the first time this weekend and was blown away. Like Richard said, it was almost like having another snake. I've got a pretty good handle on my pythons but the scrub is another step up. He's easily the most photogenic snake I have. I love some of the more underrated species in our hobby. I'm in awe of how many beautiful animals are out there. I can't keep 'em all but I love the ones I have. Somebody else needs to get one of the Argies!

    Re: The last straw.

    You’ve seen it for yourself now el Ziggy that silver is so cool on the motley’s .Until you see the boas colour change I don’t think non boa owners believe you, lol

    I love the bco and there are not many in the U.K., they also have to be microchipped and cites certificates like the dumeril boas if you have one in the U.K., if you produce babies you have to get those done too before you sell them

    You have great taste and there isn't a species in your crew that I wouldn't own myself.

    For the folks that are old enough, I'm having a beer and toasting Zig.

    Soda if you are young or don't like or can't sip the brew.

    It is really fun to see people enjoying life and getting new things.

    Zig,,,, Congrats!!
