That was probably his daddy's first time... (my male wasn't mature until he was 6).

If the female was mature in 2011 (likely her first time) she had to be an F1, almost certainly from the first litter of those wild boas in 2006 ...which would make his mom a sister to my old girl.

Yeah the sire changed hands a few times before he was mature and my boy is from his first litter sired. Dam was born in 2011 and I believe her first litter was the pairing my boy was produced from.

I think that would likely make mom an F2, not totally sure on dad though.

My bad...I screwed up some years there...
Thanks for sharing.

No worries, man. I bet the parents to the mother of my boy are siblings to your female though. Would be a fun project to trace back all the lineage and make a pedigree for these animals. I'm not on social media though so it's much harder to hunt down folks who've owned the previous generations of these Pokis.

Wow! I can't stop staring at this beautiful Boa!

How's the temperament and how big do you expect him to get? Do you find there is a much of a difference in the care between a BCI? Sorry for all the questions but I'm very intrigued.

Yeah, no social media for this guy either and I would like to know what folks are seeing from their F1's.
By seeing I mean length of males/females, reproductive success, older boas darken on the lats of the tail third of the body -I think my 06 female is taking a long time to develop this which I take as a good sign but may be normal for the group...what are others seeing?

I would also like to be able to trace pedigree...especially now that I acquired a pair of '18 Pokigron boas second hand -not that it matters I guess because if I pair them with my F1 stock there is no way to be more genetically diverse.

Anyway, forgive the intrusion on your thread (I'll go back to wrecking Gio's thread )

Hah! Not intruding at all. Love hearing about the backgrounds on these animals and learning from other folks keeping the same locality stock. I'm honestly interested to hear more about your BCO critters, I've got one of my own with a progression thread on here that you're welcome to intrude on at time. I'll try to get some pics of her soon as she's also put on some decent size this year and just turned 2yrs mid August.

Hey bud. He's cool as a cucumber, never struck at me and I think I've heard a total of two hisses out of this guy in over 2yrs. I expect he'll likely reach 6'+ but I'm not rushing him to get there. Slow and steady wins this race.

They're a bit less forgiving of errors compared to BCI from what I know, but I've never kept imperator animals. Just this guy and my Argentine Boa currently. I will say that if you do the proper research and know how to read your critters I've found him to be one of the most manageable snakes I've kept. This boy is definitely a bit more grabby/clingy when handling compared to my BCO but I'm only collecting observations from a sample size of one example of either species.

Regardless, love the hell out of them both.

Leonard shed a couple weeks ago or so and was looking nice yesterday.
