Pics of Rauri the BCI

[frankykeno]

Here's Rauri the BCI who came to us as a rescue. We are fostering him and he will go to his new snake "mom" Becky (SatanicIntention) in the spring. I don't know if the body pic really shows his lovely salmon belly scales and his great colors. Poor Mike threw his back out today so it wasn't much fun lifting the big boy high LOL.

Yep! I can die happy now.

Gawd Jo, he's about as gorgeous as a boa can get. I just can't get over how lovely he looks. I can't wait to be able to see and hold him in person!

BEAUTIMOUS! :-D

We're thrilled that you've entrusted us to care for him over the winter Becky. He's doing well and as you can see from the belly pic, not a mark from that long burn. He'll be fit and sassy for the plane trip come spring (and fulla baby bunnies LOL)

Nice shirt Do you get paid for the advertising? :p

LOL I never even noticed! Actually I think my husband just likes wearing it out to shock the lil old ladies and gents a bit.

Interesting to see Ruori Jo. He's lovely and it's great that his burn has healed up, poor snake.


We've got two Boas that are remarkably similar. We were sold them as BCC's. Seeing Ruori I'm wondering if they're BCI's as they both have a lot of salmon pink on them and look very similar to Ruori. I've just fed them or I'd post a pic of Zag's sides and belly for comparison. I'll try and get a couple of good pics in a few days time.

That's an awesome tail for such a big BCI.

[frankykeno]

Thanks Shelby! We do think he's a very lovely columbian but with so little exposure to them we don't have anything really to judge him against LOL. He does have light/dark phase thing going on and lucky enough is very light right now so his markings are especially nice to photograph.

His personality is as pretty as that tail. What a lovely snake Becky is getting! He's gotten me to fall in love with boa's when I never thought I really had much of an interest in them LOL. Our 14 year old son, Lucas, thinks Rauri is the coolest snake ever!
