New Jungle boy

Fiance got me a new camera for the holidays, yay! Can you tell I am happy?


With my Xmas bonus from work I treated myself and got this red group jungle male, he just shed and was looking pretty handsome so I put the new camera to work:



too bad this was out of focus, would have been a neat shot.







Over the holiday weekend my fiance helped me build this new juvinline boa rack, simple easy design and construction.


And lastly... the one pair of boas I put together this season seem to be going strong and steady.


Whoo!
I hope everyone had a lovely holiday! Happy (early) New Years to everybody!

Thanks! Those square saddles with the holes were one of the final selling points for me, I think they are really neat looking. Can you imagine a snake with all the saddles like that? I sure can! hee!

Yup, he's the one that Ben was selling on KS. Lucky for me Ben was local so it all worked out wonderfully (any time I can save on shipping is a plus!). This baby was from a red group hypo female and jungle male, produced by Matt Crabe.

Nice looking boy April! Love the look of him.

After seeing those pictures, I can see why I keep getting an email from this kid asking if this one is a Jungle...




I mean, I can "sorta" see similarities, but not enough to keep emailing me over after I done said no.

Good looking boy, so who you got planned for him?

some people just don't want to give up! Tell him 'well, his ancestors came from a jungle...' haha

Haven't figured that out quite yet. Next year if he's willing I'll either pair him up with my big '98 albino girl for some jungle hets OR pair him with Zahara if she is ready (she's the girl being bred above by the albino male).
This is my favorite pic of Zah, she has the similar 'hole in the middle' saddles as the jungle so it might make for an interesting pairing:


Once this hypo harli girl is mature she's deff. got a date with this boy!

I can't wait to see some jungle harlequins, it's been a dream of mine to cross those and see how the two traits interact. (I'd also love to do junglexabby or harlixabby). So many boas, so little time. heh

Thanks for the nice comments!

Zahara and that hypo harli are both pretty sweet animals. You can't help but love what a nice clean Boa brings out in color.

Good luck which ever way you go. I think they both would work great, but if a Jungle Harli is what you been dreamin of, I say go for the dream.

Fantastic color on "Zah", and oh so clean...great looking animal

Thanks, that hypo harli (her name is Puzzle) is the daughter of Zahara.

Thanks, she's my favorite boa, can you believe I got her as a rescue through craigslist for $50 back in 2002? Listed as a salmon and at that price I had to go check it out, realized she wasn't a salmon of course but just had to have her. score!
