My new Nicaraguan Boa

Met this guy at a table at the Taylor Reptile show, and I knew he was mine (even though it took me half the day to finally decided to buy him). Four year old male Nicaraguan boa (my first), roughly 4 ft long. Real sweet disposition too. I have named him Santiago. Say 'HI'!

Nice pick up Amigo! He looks to be just barely bigger then my Fire Belly male.

You're gonna love him.

I dont normally like nics but man he is pretty smoking. Very nice pick up!!!!!

Thanks guys! What I couldn't get in the pics was the amount of irridescence coming off his scales, it's insane! Will have to take more pics outside once the weather warms up.

Yeah, I see it. He's glowing like a Rainbow Boa. Sweet find!

Grazi Nick, I think so too!

Nice pick-up John. Congrats!! He looks only slightly smaller than my CA female (not sure of her exact origin) and she's either a later '03 or early
04. She's a total sweetheart, too. Enjoy him!!

Thanks Matt!

I almost picked up a female hypo het T+ Nic, but the baby had a swelling at the nose caused by rubbing. The vendor suggested it just needed to be drained and it would be OK, but I didn't want to risk it. I spend enough on my critters, don't need to add vet bill

Hey hey them's fighting words! ;-) j/k


Beautiful pick-up, John!

I think you were also smart to pass on the possible vet bill animal.

I've got a gorgeous hypo boa that I THINK is part Hogg Island (has extreme color and some green specks in her color). But anyway, she's recently developed a bad nose rub that I have to take her to the doc to check on. Would do it this week, but....it looks like icy roads in GA are going to force me to wait 'til next week. But no, I wouldn't have picked up one (already) like that, either.
