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.

Not an anery. It's a Central American or Nicaraguan, whichever you prefer to call it.

But yes, it would fall under the subspecies of BCI. Was just giving locality to be a bit more specific, as a ton of localities, including the common Colombian are BCI as well.

agreed, too much color in the tail to be an anery IMO.
Very pretty BCI with nice body structure, congrats on the pick up!

Thank's for y'all's help, I thought from pic's I've seen that he may be a BCI. I got him off CL and he was in a filthy cage and alittle cranky. The first 3 days I had him he struck at me more than a dozen times, once he hit me on the side of my head just above my ear! Now 2wks later with a bigger and cleaner cage with a hide (which he didnt have before) and daily handling he's alot more mellow. He hasnt struck at me in over a week now.lol

Not that my confirmation is needed; but Nicaraguan was the first thing that popped in my head when I saw the pics.

For future reference, it's always a good idea to give new acquisitions a reasonable acclimation period before subjecting them to the additional stress of unnecessary handling. I can definitely understand the excitement of getting a new pet; but these can be fickle creatures. Small, subtle "mistakes" on your part can have lasting consequences that may make the whole experience a bit less enjoyable for a while. I'd have probably recommended giving it a good two weeks with minimal interaction, to adjust to it's new environment. Especially in a case where it may have received questionable care from the previous owner.

Your right I should have, it would have caused alot less stress on the BOTH of us. Just how often do y'all take your boa's out and for how long?
