What am I

[NebulaJam]

Was sold this BCI as a female normal het leopard. She’s absolutely gorgeous and I’m simply in love. But looking through the forum, she looks a lot like the Tarahumara Boa. Can someone help?

Could have some central american influence but without documented lineage there is no way of telling. Appears normal BI/Boa imperator. Tarahumara are the smallest of the Boas, in fairly high demand among boa enthusiasts, and have no mutations associated with that locality/species. Nice looking critter though.

Normal BI/Boa imperator.

Thank you very much. She’s a beauty. Such a joy to handle

You've got to love boas. They are great handling snakes; inquisitive but not darty and very confident.

Nice looking boa there. If you haven't noticed yet, boas tend to have a very strong food response.

If you haven't, I would start hook training. Don't want to be confused with a rat as she grows.

Any questions on hook training, general boa stuff, etc., just ask. There are quite a few boa peeps on here who will be happy to help.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Would love some information on hook training please!
She’s never gone for me yet, but wouldn’t mind learning more about book training for when she gets bigger. I’ve noticed out of all my snakes, she’s my favourite to handle.

There’s plenty of decent YouTube clips showing various ways of tap training ..

Hopefully Dakski will read your post and give you a link to his good video.

Or just give him a PM.

Ask your Vet if a DNA test will show if she is a hybrid. I like her looks.

Good luck!
