Hey guys,
I just thought I would post some pics of my new pair of dominican red mountain boas. Anyone else who has kept these or currently has some please chime in with advice and pictures! I have had them for a couple weeks and they are feeding on pinks and doing really well for me but being as there is not a whole lot of info out there about them if anyone has experience with them I would be glad to get some advice.
I was especially wondering if anyone knows how they are classified within the Haitian boa species (aka are they a subspecies, just a specific locality or both?)
In any case they are really sweet little guys and do not nip once in hand. These guys were supposedly produced by Tom Crutchfield (but I didn't purchase them directly from him so its not a sure thing). I am really interested to see how they develop as they grow (from what I understand they go through an ontogenetic color change into their adult red colors) so I will be posting periodic pictures of these guys as they grow!
It would be cool if this thread turns into a general dominican red mountain boa thread with pictures, updates, and care advice.
Here are some pics of the pair. As you can see they are really small and are supposedly around 9 months old (I kind of find that hard to believe though). Let me know if you guys think they are younger or maybe they just are that slow growing.
