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.

What Kind of Snake?
Hi All,
I got this snake from an owner that couldn't care for her anymore. He had someone pick her up at a reptile show but had no clue what kind of snake she is. My guess is a Colombian Pastel normal. As you can see from the pictures, she's a golden bronze, with very light side diamonds in a pinkish wash.

She is a knock out pastel girl. Congrats on such a good looking addition.

very pretty boa, looks like a colombian BCi to me (but no way to know for sure without knowing the history/parents). Kudos to you for giving her a home.

Just a good ole normal Colombian BCI,the pastel label would only be self serving at best.
Animal looks well cared for

I disagree that the pastel label would only be self serving. There is a plethora of animals that are not pastels with the label floating about, but with this particular animals extremely clean side diamonds and over all wash it fits quite accurately.

I agree with Randall. She's a lot lighter, more colorful and much cleaner than some of the pastels I see being sold at the Hamburg and White Plains Reptile shows. I'm no expert, but she's got all the characteristics of a pastel.

Pastel is and has always been a marketing label,regular imports of WC and farmed Colombian BCI destroy what is labeled pastel.
You can argue and defend the morph groupies all you want,the Old School has called BS since day one.
I'll agree

Yep, just a normal hypo, huh?
Just a normal Colombian?
Sorry guys, but pastel is a very viable term for a certain look of a boa. It describe this look very well. I agree that the term is not used correctly 95% of the time, that doesn't mean that there is no such thing as a pastel. Those snakes above do not have special morphs bred into them, but have had a lot of hard work and thought put into their making. As for the person who started this post, I apologize for posting my pics on your post, but they were relevant for where this discussion has gone. I would consider the animal at the beginning of this thread to be a lower grade pastel, maybe just a nice normal. I usually like to see pastels have a bit lighter coloration than that.
