    Re: hypo jungle het kahl lipstick

    I still can't see, but went to the link.

    See picture below.



    Between the World with the Paper clip with the red X and the movie reel, there is an box with a tree. This is the image link box.

    Copy the link from Imgur, for each picture, into separate boxes that open each time you hit this icon.

    You want the imgur link that is for FORUMS. There are multiple link options.

    Moving on.

    A few things. Het for something does not change what the animal looks like or what it will grow into. It only means that the animals carries that/those trait(s) if bred.

    What you have is a Hypo Jungle, het Kahl (Albino) Lipstick.

    What your baby will grow into visually, is a Hypo Jungle.

    The site above has many baby pictures, but also, towards the bottom, pictures of adult hypo jungles. That is what your little girl should grow to look like, assuming she is what you were told.

    Secondly, what's your experience level with snakes and reptiles in general?

    BCI's are pretty hardy given their environmental/husbandry needs are met. What enclosure are you using? What temps? What humidity? How are you controlling temps and humidity, etc.?

    If their needs are not met, they can be problematic.

    Finally, 4 weeks seems pretty young to me to be selling a baby boa. I would hardly call that established.

    Shed and maybe 3 meals?

    You need to tread lightly and do everything right if she's really that young.

    Make sure the tank is set up perfectly and leave her alone for a while, at least until she's had a few meals for you. Only take her out to clean the tank, etc.

    Do you know what she was eating, both type of rodent, size, and if alive or Frozen Thawed (F/T)? Where did you purchase her? Can you ask them questions? You want to know everything about her you can know.

    I also hope you did your research and know that a female BCI gets quite large and needs a large enclosure (5X2' is probably a minimum with 6X2' plus recommended).

    There are quite a few Boa peeps on here, and I am not the expert, but know a bit.

    Please answer the questions above and let's get your baby off to a good start.

    If you haven't researched BCI's, they need to be slow grown. Not huge meals and not too often. Once we've dealt with everything else here, we can discuss feeding regimen as she grows. I do not want to overwhelm you or be redundant if you already have researched.

    Good luck and we are here to answer questions you have. Don't be afraid to ask anything.
