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.

Couple of shots from last month
This is the biggest of my females (even bigger than my albino girl ). She should be good for around 15 babies come summertime.

That girl is looking good Harald!
She's so dark too. Is that due to incubation? Or is she just a dark ground Boa?
Looks promising for sure. Hope you get a nice fat litter from her.

She IS the darkest of my 3 girls - well, she's darker than my males, too, as far as that goes - but that looks dark, even for her. I suspect some of it is because of the hormonal changes, but she might have been going into a shed, too. I'll pop off some new pics of her & the others over the next week when I go through cages.
*Sunday will be 90 days for that albino, Rick...will clean her cage once more, so I'll try to remember to pop off a few pics. I think I am going to change her over to mulch to keep up the humidity and (hopefully) ease the postpartum cleanup. Besides, that way I won't have to pull her out to.
**My only concern is the impact of the deep particulate substrate on temps...I am not going to change that whole stack over, and I still have them controlled together.

I changed my girls out last weekend to aspen shavings. Last time I used 2" of Peat moss, but Aurora did a little burrow thing, and shoved it all out to the sides and coiled in the middle. So I put less over the hot spot this time around for both girls, and left the indented kraft paper too. Seems to be working. They still have the same temps as always.
MJ is hazing over as we speak. Almost totally blue right now. Pretty weird too. She's due on March 5th.
Looking forward to those pics if you can get them. And babies soon too.

Mine just shed a couple days ago. Took 2 shots tonite, just to be sure I got some.

A little slow in getting the other pics up...but I did take them.
The first is one of the shots I took a week ago, the second & third are from today, in the VE-175, while I was loading her cage up with mulch (looking a bit stretched & lumpy - her POS shed was, I believe, on 11/24). The fourth, that is another girl entirely - I somehow think that I haven't posted pics of her...or if I did, it was 2-3 yrs ago. She is an early 05, purchased from Mike Wilbanks. I figured I would toss her in, as I have been neglectful (or would it be considered shielding her from the spotlight?). I'll have to try to get better pics of her at some point.

Oh, and the other two female dumerils - 2 of each.
The first is the smaller of the two, but not by a whole lot any more (I'm actually not sure she still is smaller, lol...but she WAS, and that is how I still think of her). The female pictured earlier in this thread has probably a good foot on either of them.

Dums are sure nice looking Boas. I still find it hard to tell the two ground Boas apart. LOL Maybe one day I'll get one of each and practice.
So, is Molly from a coral parent? She sure has some nice pinks on her. You try and breed her this year? Both are looking great though. The gravid girl is pretty big. Hope you get a mess of babies from that one.

Nope - she's on the list for next year, though. I was kind of surprised to see her at 12 lbs...she's was still that cute little baby in my eyes

Well, I changed her cage to mulch...after 6 hrs, the hot spot wasn't more than 85 degrees. I gave it a quick flip, and it ended up right where I wanted it....except everybody else in that stack now has a hot spot 10 degrees higher than it was. Not sure if I will give them mulch to equalize it (will have to buy & thaw more), or just leave them there til she drops and turn the whole stack back down again.
