My 17 year old columbian red tail.

[EDR]

Looks great. Nice snake and good luck with the het puzzle

Thanks and yeah i hope the lesser pastel het makes me some really nice stuff in the future. I want to get some pics of him but he just ate and is settling in his quarantine tub.

That is freakin awesome you have had him that long. Hats off to you sir Have you been feeding him guinea pigs for a long time? From what I've known, guinea pigs are very fatty and bad for boas but fine for pythons. And you must have been something right to keep him chugging along for 17 years. Hope all my gals and guy live that long and longer

Thanks i only fed him guinea pigs like three times whenever the pet store had no rats or rabbits. As for what i've been doing right well temps and stuff aside im thinking its consistency of just feeding him cleaning him and 17 years later he's still with me. And im sure you know what your doing so im sure yours will live long as well.

That was a real treat seeing a 17 yo good sized Boa. I liked reading the story as well.
Thanks!

Thanks no problem reinz glad you enjoyed it.

He looks great. You have done very well with him. I wouldn't change a thing you are doing. Seventeen years is a long time.

Much thanks indeed i probably wont change much. Right now the main thing im thinking about is getting him a bigger enclosure eventually. Right now he's cozy in his 4x2x1 boaphile im thinking of upgrading to a 6x2x1.

Awesome to have an older pet still thriving and doing well.

Thanks Neal im hoping he lives for another 17 years.

He's amazing! Thanks for sharing
No problem Emily and thanks.

awesome! I love hearing about older boas.
My oldest is 27 and have two that are 18.

I hate to say it but the boa is a little heavy. Boas should have more of a square loaf shape and he's pretty round and heavy. He's not obese or anything, there's no fat folds on the tail but he looks like one of my big females when they are gravid.
Anyways.
I am glad he's doing so well for you and I hope you both get many more years together!

Thanks April ill consider stretching his feed schedule a bit BUT i should have mentioned in these pics he ate only 6 days ago so he's probably still digesting and full. I only had him out cause he's peed in his enclosure. But yeah hope you enjoyed the pics and the read and best wishes to your old ones.
