What to get - BI - Male or Female?

[richardhind1972]

That's a good point Bogertophis. I cannot argue it, and the male looks stunning, but I haven't seen the females yet . If I cannot tell a difference really, and the male is chill, you make a lot of sense.



He says the male is chill, but he's going to handle the females as well and compare and contrast. If there's a noticeable difference, personality wins every time for me.



Katie says I can get whatever I want. She prefers the best personality animal, regardless of ultimate size. However, if there's no difference, I think she would want the male.

Having said that, I slow grow my boas. Feliz at 2 years old (dwarf BCC, but still) is 400G and Behira (BI Ghost Female) is 1,650G at almost 3 1/2 years old. So we would have time to adjust. Further, the way I feed, and not expecting to feed anything bigger than a large rat (I'll adjust duration if necessary over larger prey), I don't expect a female to be more than 7FT or so (max 8FT) and 12-15 pounds. I know people who get their males close to that weight or above. I plan to be very disciplined.

I've handled 15-20 pound females, but I've never had one, and there's probably a big difference.



Here is the male in question.



Not sure if what Jeff means by nicer females. I notice a slight aberration on his tail pattern, but that doesn't bother me. I think it's kind of neat. I'll ask for clarification about the differences between the male and females. To me, this guy is stunning. He's young now and will color up more.

He's absolutely stunning dave,wow

The lipstick is a line bred albino line bred for amazing coloured sides(coralation) and brightness
The junglows are jungle sunglows
With all them genes with the lipstick albino and jungle in there, he should maintain some amazing colour and should only get brighter
Good luck with your decision, I'm sure you will choose wisely
Can't wait to see which you choose
