Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Help Identify please!
I recently obtained a 3 year old... 2 1/2 too 3 ft Boa. I was told that she is full grown and that she's a dwarf Columbian red tail..Well last night I was told that there is no such thing as a dwarf columbian red tail. Anyone have any ideas with what type of Boa im dealing with?
Thank you!

It looks to have CA influence but I could be wrong. Colombians are the largest of the BCI's and no there is no such thing as a dwarf Colombian. I believe Nicaraguan, hog island, and a few others are what are referred to as "dwarfs" but they're just smaller locales. And if that is CA it should be bigger than 3 ft at 3 yrs old in my opinion. Someone else who knows more about the different locales should chime in but to me it looks like Central American influence at least, could be a cross between locales too which would make it even harder to determine.

I agree that it looks like a Central American local due to the bold slightly connected saddles on the back but without knowing the parents, it's really impossible to say for sure. 3ft at 3yrs old sounds just fine to me and she looks lovely and healthy. Boas continue to grow their entire lives, it just slows way down as they get older. Beautiful boa, congratulations on your new addition!
edit to add - generally Central America locals stay a little smaller than their Colombian cousins
