    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....

Post your absolute favorite!

I figured I would post a group shot of my favorites from this year. Its too hard to pick a favorite. Everyone that has posted pics, great looking boas and can see why you all have chosen them as your favorites!! Compliments to all!

Nothing wrong with having multiple favorites. I am sure we all feel that way. I like that Arabesque!
 
I have to pick a favorite to post a favorite....and there are probably 5-6 that are in the running.

Jeffrey had the same problem, we don't mind.

I know my favorite. I just am trying to decide if I want to use an old pic of her from last month or if I want to get her out and take better pics.

Get her out and take fresh pics! I don't know about where your at, but the sun is shinning and the skies are clear here. Makes for good pics! If only the boas would hold still!

Fine! lol, thats actually what I planned on doing. Its a little chilly here, in the 60's, so I would have to make it quick. But I won't be able to untill I leave work, so I will post tomorrow. Now, if it rains like its supposed to, it may have to wait untill the weekend, so bare with me.

:iagree:

Don't have a favorite but if I had to choose, I guess it would be Zahara:

I'm going to take a slightly different approach...
This girl is not my favorite, though she is in the top 5; but she is the one that gets the raves. This is her at normal or slightly better.....when she's colored up, she's AMAZING.
(one of these days, I WILL manage to capture it)

This is another one that is right up there...maybe not a clear favorite, but right in the mix.
(crap - its been almost a year since I've taken pics of this girl - this is from last June)

This one is for FireBill....another one that I really need to take some new shots of. This pic is at least 1.5 yrs old

That was my old Olympus point n shoot....the credit goes to that.
I'm using a Nikon D90, now; and it's harder (for me) to take good pictures with it. I've been struggling with capturing the colors on my two holdbacks for probably 6 months - the pictures look better every time, but that's because their colors are getting better all the time...not because I'm getting pics that show them off better.
 
Now my picture here isn't as old as some of Haralds, but it is still due for an update. This is Big momma, some of you may have read about her before. She is my rescued boa, she came from near death, and through it all she is still a sweet heart and thriving more than ever now. She is my favorite. Not because of her color, or her pattern, or what babies she may be able to produce. She is my favorite because of what we have been through together.

By the way, new pictures were delayed due to rain, and its supposed to rain all weekend. As soon as mother nature lets up and gives me some sunshine, I will get new pictures.
 
I have crummy camera skills. I have owned this camera for about a year and have NO idea how to use it. x.x

I attempted to use the aquarium rocks like Chris did too and ... failed. Lol

Regardless ...

In terms of beauty, this girl takes the cake in my collection.

Now where do they get that "Orange Tail" thing from?

fav boa

I have a top 3. I love them all the same but these 3 stick out to me for different reasons. First up is coraline. She is not living up to her name but she is a sweet heart and my favorite snake to interact with.

Next two are my sunglow and my very beautiful motley het albino ( from alex b. Boa republic )

My favorite would have to be the Argentine Boas, i like them all...........
I just love how their patterns and colorations look, i'm looking to build up a small collection, along with the Anery Long Tails, just waiting for some nice ones to jump on.
