Pip, The Dwarf Colombian

Pip is doing great. He has continued to bulk up - he's just not getting much longer. I have held back his sister for a potential breeding. Of course the physical act may be difficult because of their size difference.

I may have to try my hand at artificial insemination - won't that be fun!

I'm currently working on a page for Pip on my website. Once it's completed and posted, I'll make a post on it here.

Thanks for inquiring.

are you willing to sell Pip? I have been looking for a lttle red tail that wont eat rabits. LoL J/K Nice babie though. Can you send some pics of her eating? I live that boa. You should sell him on reptibid.com

Jake,
Sorry, but Pip is a keeper. If and when I prove him out and develop a line of Boas that only grow to 3 1/2', I'll make sure I drop you a line. Wouldn't that be an awesome thing: all the great personality of a boa in a handy carry along size. Hey - I can dream!

I don't have any pictures of him eating and he's not due to feed for a couple days yet, but I'll see what i can do for you at that time.

Thanks for your comments.

I want to be on the list, happily the top of the list, for any pint sized babies that might come out of a pairing with this guy. That is just outrageous! Its like my dreams come true. A drawf Colombian Boa. I would love to see any pics you get of him. Let me know when you get that page on him done.

I'm currently working on a complete make-over of my web site (including Pip's page). I'll try and post some updated pictures of him this weekend.

Thanks,

Here's a couple pictures of Pip taken today.

His current measurements are:

Length: 32"
Weight: 410 grams

His birthday is 6/5/03.
He'll be 2 years old in ten days.





Thanks,

What ever happend with the female that Lucille sent you? Plans to breed? Or is it still too soon to tell?

That is so awesome. a mearly 3' 2 year old boa. Nice colors though, I can't wait to see if you prove him out

Mike, that is amazing! So cool...

Anthony,
Here is a picture taken last evening of Lucille (the reptilian one).

She is still in quarantine, but my plans are to pair Pip up with both his sister and with her.
I don't have precise measurements on her yet, but she is very close to Pip in length.
Pip is probably about double Lucille's weight however.

It's a very exciting project.
