    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

there seems to be two forms northerns and westerns... both bci however there is an area where these two forms both occur. only further breeding will help us to understand these two forms better.

the first ones seem to have a much more blockier pattern but have very rich orange colors.. and seem to have a reduction in melanin in comparison to the other form. they also seem to have more color in their side medalions and are more circular in pattern (which you can see better on the female).....(crappy pics) when the weather gets better i will try and get some outdoor photos

the second form are lighter animals overall but have orange spots on the back of their heads and pinched saddles and abbarancies, reminessant of some peruvian boas, they also seem to have these orange spots in between the saddling but overall have more melanin than the form above.the side medalions in these are smaller and more oval shaped.

so far these have been my observations of these boas. it will be interesting to see how they grow up and what the end result will be. and also what the resulting of breedings will be
 
Congrats on your new kids. Hopefully they'll eat and get used to captivity without a problem. Good luck with them!
 
prior to recieving them they have all been treated for parasites in three doses and have eaten 3-4 times... so they should be good
 
well the person i got them from only sends out the best sooo they make sure they are feeding on FT before sending them out and also make sure they are parasite free
 
I've had bad experiances with wild caught before, but I wouldn't hesitate buying from where you bought from with the quality he delivers...
