Look who followed me home...! aka story with a good ending

Well a big congrats to you. I love boa's myself, but I am still a python guys and will probably never own one. However I have done plenty of research and smething lags in my mind that it can't be a BCC if it is indeed anery. So odds are it is a BCI and there for not to small for his age. Some male columbians only reach 5 feet as it is. Anyway, congrats again and thanks for sharing. ~Caylan.S.~

I took what i was told about him with a large grain of salt. I'm not a boa person at all (yet). I've got enough info to get his basic husbandry down, but after that i'm pretty much lost (but thats why i've got the forums ) He may be a BCI, i'll take some full body pics soon to get some expert opinions.

Thank you for your information, i really appreciate it.

He's just gorgeous! I'll be thrilled if my Anery holds that much grey to that age! =3 A big difference for me inbetween the males and females is not so much the length, but the width. Females are alot bulkier...so I like the males better! 6ft is fairly typical, 7 is rarer.
One feeding every two weeks is fine...as long as it's an appropriate sized meal.

I was always told males stayed much more managable. He is 2x as thick as my biggest bp and SO strong. He wrapped both my wrists together and its like living handcuffs. He's unused to me handling him so hes very clingy. hehe.

Oh and his feeding regiment is definitely changing here. Of the few things i do know about boas its that their metabolisms are very slow. I've got small/medium rats. He's on F/T which is awesome. By weight I'm imaging that hes about 3000-3500 grams. Would a small rat or a medium rat be better? or should he be on larges? He was being fed meals large enough to make a lump even a few days later. None of my BPs get meals that size. Theirs barely leave lumps.

his colors and pattern are breath taking. I was so surprised when i saw him the first time. Here is the picture Local Guy gave me to see him when we were emailing. Not a great image but it shows his whole body.

Absolutely beautiful! Anery's just happen to be my fave boa morph lol! That is actually a great specimen in terms of colour, many go quite yellow with age, and yours seems to be staying true to the word anery! I would definately say BCI, no doubt in my mind, but regardless that doesn't mean anything bad. Beautiful boa, and if I ever keep boa's, I would only hope for one like him. Even bigger congrats then before! As for rat size I am sure he could do a medium rat every 2 weeks, or a small rat every 7-10 days would be suitable as well. I might not own boa's, but the guy I work for does and that's generally how we feed his. Again thanks for the pics, ~Caylan.S.~

thank you for this! its exactly what i needed. I really do need to take some full body shots of him. The reptibark hes on in the full body shot really makes him look brown, its not how he looks in real life at all. His tail is just black and white.

Anery is my favorite morph for most snakes
