    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....

I thought I'd post some pictures I took of my three boas the other day. They are all '04's. These aren't any of the fancy morphs but I love them and think they are beautiful! I love the totally different looks of each of them.

The circle back, a female, and yellowish colored with dark saddles, a male, I got as babies. The yellowish with light saddles, a girl, I got a little while ago. I don't know much about the first two, but I traced back the girl I just got to its breeder, Michael Beach. Very, very nice man and very helpful.

I expect they should be ready to breed later next year and I can't wait!!!

Beautiful boas, thanks for sharing. That is a lucky shot to get all three heads in one picture. Good job.
 
Thank you for all your nice words! :)

Actually, it wasn't luck to get those head shots. I set them up that way. They are all very easy to work with, very seldom do I have any problems getting them to lay quietly for pictures. The male can occassionally get grumpy for a few seconds when he first comes out but then is as tractible as can be.

Once I got them all set together and calmed down, it was simple to just take the pictures. I took about 40 pictues all together, mostly just letting them move a bit around and seeing what nice shots they set up for me. If they go to move out of the "picture zone" all I do is put my hand in front of their face, lightly touch their nose with my finger and they just stay put for a while. After I had taken a few pictures and they were really calm about it all, I gently positioned their heads, touched them on their noses and took a bunch of pictures. Shrug.

I'll tell you, after taking pictures of corns for the past few years, taking pictures of the boas is a walk in the park. Corns VERY seldom relax for a photo shoot no matter what you do.
 
I was actually wondering that. When I first looked I was amazed that 3 happened to have their heads together. 2 maybe, but 3? Awesome that they are mellow enough to be able to position their heads like that.
