I need to stop researching snakes...

Leeetle island dwarf boas! Maybe I will have to break down someday on the boas and get a bitty one... I just love their faces so much. So cute... I'm a sucker for Anerys too, and these guys lean in that direction with that classic Boa face, rarely getting more than 5'. Probably a good thing that they're not readily available, lol, we so can't play anymore Tetris in this place with our breeding plans. Boy do I need a snake room...

Crawl Cay Boa

Cay Caulker Boa

They may not be readily available, but the Central American BCI's are becoming alot more popular and are fairly easy to get a hold of. They also typically stay under five feet. They also have some great morphs already out there.

Ooh, I didn't realize Nicaraguan boas stayed so bitty... The Anery II morphs have some lovely irredecence to them too... I love the Guyanas but I know they get too big and fiesty! Hmmm, food for thought!

My favorite of the dwarf boas are either the hogg island(rarely over 6' for females) and the mexican dwarf boas(example at http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=8&de=404575)

Check out www.riobravoreptiles.com and look around. Gus is a great guy and says nice boas!

I had actually emailed Gus of Rio Bravo Reptiles and discussed getting a baby pair of Caulker Cay boas to start a breeding project. I would still like to do it someday, when I have more time and money. They're such nice looking little guys... And, honestly, I think the market is going to open up for the smaller breeds of boas.

Thats what I was thinking. People that want the boa look and personality but don't want the size would probably give them a chance!

Good luck on those C.C. boas

Oh those Crawl Cay's are nice!

Very cool Nicci boa!! How big do the females get? Thats a really nice little boa

How did I forget your adorable bitty Bluefields, SPJ?! See, insomnia is bad for the brain. So cute! Gomez is a year old and bigger than her!

And thanks for the links, Pork Chops! *drools over boas for a while* Serinams and Guyanas slay me... it's the burgandy tails and high contrast kill me every time. But I know they get way too big for me.

My main thing with a boa is I'd want one that'd stay *relatively* on the silver side and stay small enough never to need/be tempted by rabbits. My house rabbits live more or less like cats roaming around, and it's nice that I can sit on the couch with Gomez or Ma-tsu without worrying about the bunny bouncing past working them up. I'm still careful, but it's not as stressful as say free range rats running around the apartment while a snake is on my lap. Especially the boid cruisers who are more inclined to sit on the couch with me (Ma-tsu? Sit still? Heaven forfend! Also, Gomez is wisely scared of fast moving rabbits) Also, it's just handy to have all my adults eating more or less similar sized rats.

As I work toward having more room around here, I may need to keep an eye on SPJ's Bluefield and Lady's C.C. projects! And keep my eyes peeled on those Crawl Cays too... dangit, the wishlist just keeps growing!
