Thanks, friend, for posting those pictures and the pictures of your beautiful stud.
Most folks post photos of their boas in top form, the big girl in this photo has eaten twice this year and is not in top form. She had a fabulous litter of 19 boas in mid-July and I don't feed them while courting or gravid. If you go back to her last meal before these two...she has had three meals since October.
She is an 18-year-old F1 Pokigron Suriname boa. The photo of the last third of body shows her laterals and tail darkening. This is how they develop as they age. The 3-year-old boa in this photo shoot is a pretty close representation of what mom looked like at that age but unfortunately the photos don't capture the true redness of her tail. The baby has had one shed and I wanted that thrown in just for size and color reference as all photos were all taken in the same spot. I wanted to get a photo of the old man but he is deep in shed and I don't mess with them in shed.
This is a younger boa shown for size perspective.
