looking ......

[Evenstar]

well ive decided to make the jump its not gonna happen today but will in the next couple of months
im looking at either a albino jungle bci or a motley bci

if anyone knows of any good breeders let me know .. Listed a few below.
what are the price of these guys I never dealt with boas b4 You're looking at around $200 for a nice motley with no other genetics at play or about $250-300 for a nice low-expression jungle. It'll be around $300 for an albino, and about $500-600 for an albino jungle (again, low-expression). If you find a wild-pattern jungle, those prices will easily double or even triple.
does anyone have pics of them young and old would like to see how they change if they do .. cant see either morph changing much ...but who knows I never dealt with boas Got a couple of examples - again, see below.

any idea on who is calmer male or female .. I tend to see all my male balls r a lot more easy to deal with then females ..just my opinion Totally depends on the snake. I have several females that are sweet as can be, but my males are pretty great too. My two most mellow and gentle boas, the first that I choose for educational events or for kids to handle, are females. However, I do have 4 animals that have, on occasion, wanted to eat my face. Those are 3 females and only one male.

how much bigger do females get then males ? We're talking BCI so I'll stick with those size references. Males will max out around 6-7 feet and females will usually reach 7-8 feet as adults.
how fast do they grow in a year ? Depends on the boa, the growth spurts it experiences, and how it's fed. Slow grown is healthier.
I plan I keeping him In a tub for the 1st year then buying some kind of ap cage for him .. That's totally fine. I have 2 year olds that are still in tubs. An AP cage is an ideal choice. 4x2x2 is a minimum for a male. 5x2x2 is better for females.

is husbandry easier or harder then bps? About the same. Personally, I think it's easier because feeding time is easy - boas almost always eat! But care requirements are about the same. I have found that my boas do seem to prefer slightly cooler temps than BPs. I keep a hotspot of 88 and ambient temps of 76-78.

thanks everyone
