He FEELS healthy too! Man does this guy like to grip! What strength for a 700G snake!Originally Posted by richardhind1972
He's really sturdy.
Got to love the markings, contrast, and wow, that tail! Remember, he was holdback for color. Tommy Carpenter of TC Reptile had two male holdbacks. Both were equally calm and docile, but Feliz was held for color and the other guy was held because he had a unique pattern (a dog bone on his tail). That tail marking was distinct and made Tommy hold that guy back and I twisted his arm and he sold me Feliz.
I was really enthusiastic about wanting a calm and docile "dwarf" boa and he caved and sold me Feliz. When I send him pics he says he has some regrets, but he's really happy he is with a good home.
I put "dwarf" in parenthesis because although small for a BC, the males still get 4 1/2-5ft and females 6FT and they are thick bodied.
So really, DWARFER!
Either way, I just love Feliz.
However, he will be handful even at 5FT or so. I've held 6FT Suriname males who grip so I know what to expect, relative to a BI, but wow, it just blows me away how much strength he has even now.
