    May be picking up this beauty soon!

    After getting my BP I wanted something with a little more color and size so I went to an exotic pet store and fell in love with this Central American boa! The pic doesn't do the color justice and it's iridescent in the light! Any input? Tips also welcome!

    Very nice boa. Be prepared to have a 4x2x2, minimum, enclosure for it as an adult (and that's feet, not inches!). Even though CAs don't get quite as big as Colombians, they still need at least that size. Good luck with him! Boas are addictive!

    I love my Central Americans. This one is beautiful also! You can't go wrong with a nice boa, but they are almost as bad as Bp's in that I just couldn't keep it to one....lol Boa's are addictive!!!!
