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.

Boa Identification Help
We recently inherited some boas. The owner was a widow whose husband had been collecting for over 20 years, and recently got rid of most of his animals prior to dying. We ended up with 6 boas, but she (and we) are unsure of what we have. She said she knows one is het T-pos, but not sure which one, and doesn't know what that recessive gene is or does, only that her husband was excited to know it proved out. I am hopeful somebody out there can help us identify these animals.

Ah, I see now what you were asking about. I am still not super comfortable with IDing boas but the first and third look like leopards or IMG to me. I would wait for input from someone with more experience to respond though.

Looks like a lot of Central Americans with some being hypo. Not IMG or Leopard, though. Some CA boas just get really, really dark as adults.

I agree. The second looks hypo, the rest look like normal. (no way to tell which is het at this point unless you can find some old photo id records or through breeding)

Those are some great looking snakes! I can't help with the ID's, but if the widow has access to her late husband's email account she may be able to find correspondence between her husband and the prior owners. If she finds anything hopefully they have records of what you've got.
