Lovely boa Jboyz!
Both of my current boas actually had a role in starting my boa/reptile obsession, so they're both getting a shout-out here.
Adelita, my hypo het leopard Sonoran, was my first boa. She was admittedly more of a expo impulse purchase. I wasn't looking for Sonorans or hypos when I got her -- I was looking for longicauda -- but her sweet, curious personality, busy pattern, and smaller adult size won me over. She wound up being the best first boa I could have asked for -- still sweet as can be, and maturing into a real stunner. She's definitely a boa I want around for 30 years, if not longer!
My second boa is Kuzco, a Boa imperator longicauda. It was actually his parents -- or perhaps more accurately, his breeder Allison Theus' blog -- that got me into boas, and locality boas and longicauda more specifically. I was following his litter's birth and development in the months leading up to Adelita coming home. There was a lengthy wait list for Allison's longicauda, and part of the reason I wound up purchasing Adelita was my anticipation that she wouldn't have any longicauda left over for people off the wait list. When Kuzco actually became available in the spring, I snapped him up. He's been a very good boy so far, and it feels nice to have a baby from the pairing that got me in to boas.
