    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....

The male shed last night so took some pics of him and her together, he’s a bit smaller as you can see and not quite as bright

How are you liking keeping them? My female had some very interesting behaviors. A very unique locality.
 
I really like them , there so different to my normal nic, they even feel smoother if that makes sense , he’s still a bit flighty but soon settles once out, I can just go in and lift Her out no problems, I’m sure she would eat every day she could, lol
I just love How much they change colour it’s like having a couple of different snakes and seeing which colour you wake up to in the morning
There’s not many in the U.K. and was really lucky to get them, the parents are vin Russo imports
Have you bred yours ? as I wondered how many babies they had approx , I know with them being a slimmer locality they don’t have loads,my normal Nic was from a litter of 8
Cheers rich

I unfortunately did not get to breed them but I think 8-12 is average from what I've heard over the years. They do feel almost silky, you're right. I only had one female but she was one of the more interesting boas I've kept. She would rarely coil on anything and it was more like handling a colubrid than a boa. Perfectly tame, but just very different.
 
There isn’t really much information on them so thought I’d ask some one who has had one, thanks that’s what I had heard too
silky yes definitely , even there scales seem smaller and the corn islands are really iridescent ,they do act more like a colubrid you right, even my hypo nic rarely holds on and the corn islands are just terrible for not holding on , I’ve nearly dropped them So many times,lol
