[Gio]

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 ..
what are the price of these guys I never dealt with boas b4
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

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

how much bigger do females get then males ?
how fast do they grow in a year ?
I plan I keeping him In a tub for the 1st year then buying some kind of ap cage for him ..

is husbandry easier or harder then bps?

thanks everyone

Topic was covered pretty well by the others. Husbandry is easy, you may want to buy some moss for humidity if needed, but Evenstar gave you good temps and you should look at a thermostat that can offer a night temp drop and a seasonal drop if your house temps don't change enough to change the cage temps.

Male or female is fine. As stated, individuals vary in their temperaments. I only have one male and he's a swell fella. They can grow VERY fast in a year. You can feed them conservatively and still see a lot of growth. The BC feeding response is much different than the BP response in my experience. They always eat, at least 99% of the time. They stay "turned on" after a meal too,,, so,,, the bigger they get, the less you want to mess with them right before or even a day after feeding.

Feed on the conservative side. No need for rapid growth, you can still get a nice sized snake if you feed properly. The longer they live, the more they grow. Captive boas, unless provided with it, get less exercise than wild boas, so let them feed, clear and actually hunt a bit before the next meal.

You will want to start looking at cages soon, and have FUN doing it. There is nothing like a neat snake in a nice display cage.

If you can do BP's boas will be no problem. Just be mindful of the feeding.
