Pip, The Dwarf Colombian

Bob,
Dennis is correct. The primary pairing to prove out Pip will be with his sister. The pairing with the Central American is secondary. That female's ssp was unknown to me until she arrived here.

BTW, Happy birthday Pip - He is two years old today.

Here are a few shots of Pip enjoying his favorite pastime.
His primary diet consists of small rats with an occasional mouse thrown in.

Nice pictures!!! I'm hoping that was a f/t rat!! lol

That last pic looks like, "I want another one!"

Great pictures! Keep us updated.

This has been a great read! I too would love to be notified of any offspring to be sired by this little "Half Pint" There are some counties in my state that have some real B/S rules about Boas, thank god I am not in one of them. A dwarf line would be killer. Thanks for your continuous updates.

Awesome snake

but...

Why do u want to breed Pip to a central american bci?

Wouldn't u be crossing locales? or is that not important?

The primary breeding for Pip will be with his sister.
However, she is a normal sized boa and the results may not prove out the dwarfism.

The secondary breeding will be with the dwarf Central American.
The primary purpose of that breeding will be to prove out the dwarf genetics.

The basis of the project will remain with the South American bloodlines.
Ideally, I'll get something from the breeding with his sister to work with.

This will be a long-term project, to say the least.

Thanks for your interest.

Hey, that's good to know.

Someone in Canada also had a "dwarf" boa.

U should contact him and share info.

Here a link.

Thanks Carlito - I'll check it out.
