Older Boas 10 Years Plus.

[Gio]

The snakes kept by members of this board all have potential to live long, healthy lives.

I want to dedicate this tread to boa constrictors BCI (BI) , BCC (BC) and BCO that are 10 years old or older. Post photos and some background on your animal. Feel free to include caging setups, feeding processes and other things you do to keep your animal healthy and long lived.

I'll start the show with the most recent picture of my snake and a little bit of info about him.

Sniper is a 12 year old, Barranquilla locality BCI (BI). He was produced by Gus Rentfro at Rio Bravo Reptiles. Sadly, Rio Bravo closed its doors to public sales and Gus doesn't appear on the boards. Gus is a world authority on boa constrictors. This guy was born June, 27 2012 and I acquired him from Legacy Reptiles April 23, 2013.

Sniper has been in 3 different cages since I started caring for him and now he's in a 6' x 30" x 2' cage. He eats monthly usually but sometimes every 21 days. He gets the winter off and he's been a great pet.

Here he is June 28 2024.




I look forward to seeing some older boa additions to this thread. I'm not sure how many members have them and I know this portion of the board has been less active than it was years ago.

If you have one, (boa constrictor) post up and and let us hear about it.
