    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....

help me with her genetics!

What you think? Thanks ahead...

Thanks! Is the speckeling common with this locale? Crossing over from balls so im still learning how to identify them.
 
And im also wanting to know what would be some good male to put her with ive been holding off on purchasing till i know her possibilities.
 
Great thanks! Girl said she was 4 and ate med. I thought that was odd as she nailed a jumbo 1st day i got her.. Hopefully her growth isnt stunted or anything.
 
I'd go with plain large rats instead of jumbos. Just because she isn't huge doesn't mean she should be overfed to compensate.

How big do you think boas get? An average sized female boa is about 7' long and she may be a bit on the smaller side. I wouldn't be pushing her to grow. Just a large rat every three weeks will be fine.

Well i know that. Im only going off being told shes undersized. I didnt wanna try an breed her and shes too small. Just making sure.

Personally, I would not breed her.

Please note, I said personally.

She's not really a good candidate for breeding by her appearance. You could attempt to breed her to a super clean male to make cleaner babies, but most of what you get is likely to be dirty, faded in color and heavily speckled.

No that was a glare from somewhere just checked.

And i had a gut feeling she was gonna be just a pet. I had her with the sharp albino male i got with her, but i wouldnt want to muddy his genes
 
Thats why i come to you guys. Thanks for the insight. Ill just start rotating my albinos since thats all i have and put her in the room with the pets.
