I can tell by their substrate shape lol! I'll observe them more often!
    Wow 5-6 years! They really grow so slow...lol! I'm curious how big will a 20-year old male BCC grow lol!
    OMG!!!!!!!!!Your Gina is sooooooo gorgeous!!! So bright red!!! I just search Gus Rentfro but looks like he does not have these kind of babies available now... may I know how do you find the breeders and how do you know when some breeders have new babies? I wanted to get BCC for months but haven't find something on facebook group or just search BCC breeders. I went to a couple of reptile expo and finally get him. But he got mites and thanks for suggestions I get here with you guys I haven't seen mites for weeks. I'll keep treating him for another two months. But I just find some animals in reptile expo are not in good condition and hard to know what their parents look like... some of the sellers are not breeders I think. Wow I also want to buy snakes direcctly from breeders but not sure what's the best way to find them. Gina is really really stunning!!! I wish I could also have a snake like her!!!!
    Rabbits arent necessarily more nutritious. They are just a leaner meat with less fat plus they are more dense.

    And yeah, most of my young boas sit with their front half outside the hide and the tail end in the hide lol.

    Thanks and you wont find Gus Rentfro selling boas anymore. He retired a while ago. He was the godfather of boas and was one of the first to actually bring BCC to the states and start breeding them. He kept very precise records of what was collected where so if you get a boa from his stock that is said to be from Pokigron, you can bet your bottom dollar it was collected from there.

    You can find is stock around though. Chris Wolf and Vin Russo both picked up a lot of Gus' stock. I got Gina from Chris Wolf who got the parents straight from Gus back in 2006 as babies.

    If you are buying something like a BCC, my advice is buy from a breeder who keeps good records. Heck i got pics of Gina being born lol. I mean i dont see her exactly but i have pics of her and her siblings all in a big blob of goo on the cage floor lol.

    I mean dont get me wrong, there are LOTS of really nice BCC that arent specific locals. Some breeders i would buy from would be Star Shaffer, Skip Frye, Russel Le Fleur, Chris Wolf, Vin Russo, Mike Luchessi, Brian Viullemenboa. There are lots of other good breeders out there. Just remember, if you are buying something that is marked as a local or something specific, make sure you buy from a reputable breeder as paperwork can be faked and means nothing imo. The only papers that would matter is CITES papers if you are buying an import like a specific Peruvian BCC or something.
