Epicrates pics

Since it's a nice day here and it's been a while, I decided to snap a couple pictures of my rainbow boas a little while ago.

First is my '14 Brazilian, Lucy. Unfortunately she is in shed at the moment, but she still looks amazing in the sun! She's grown a lot in the last year or so and is just over 5' now. I'm hoping to find a nice male to pair up with her at some point.

Next is actually the oldest animal in my care, my Colombian, Lill. He'll be 12 in September. My wife wants to get him a female leucistic to breed with. I figure he won't have any problem locking up and doing the job if we do since he's thrown sperm plugs a few times recently. He's always been very well behaved and good with strangers handling him. He's also the first snake I ever had who would seek me out among small groups of people, showing what appears to be the ability to recognize his care taker.

Thanks! I quite enjoy them as well. I've had a soft spot for epicrates ever since I saw my first Brazilian at the national zoo in DC as a little kid. They had a bloodline that was so dark it was almost purple. I'd still love to find another like that. The darker they are in color the more their iridescence shows, so I'm not sure why it's so hard to find dark animals like that.

Nice pictures! As much as I do truly enjoy the winter months, I always look forward to spring when I can get the slithers out into the sunshine again.

Same here. Spring decided to sleep in a bit for us this year. We had a few warm days earlier in the year, but not enough for the leaves to start coming in until just about a month ago. Now it's getting into herping weather, finally. Hopefully I can take some time to go play around in the woods soon.

How are you guys doing down there with the flooding that was going on? My family down that way have said it was pretty bad in places (though not nearly as bad as we've seen in old-town Harpers Ferry over the years) and my neighbors had to leave their camp up on the south branch in a hurry before they got flooded out last weekend.

Mainly the areas that typically flood did so there were few surprises. The exception was around Paw Paw and some of the bridges that cross Back Creek.

Thanks for sharing your pictures. The BRBs are one of the original eye catching snakes our family continually enjoys.
