Couple of boas

[Bushviper]

I have decided to post a few boas every day just to show what is available in the local market. These are all my own photographs of our own animals. They are not in any order though.

Pastel salmon


Super hypo


T+ Caramel albino Nicaraguan dwarf boa


Motley T+ Caramel albino Nicaraguan dwarf boa


Motley salmon Columbian boa

[Blake]

Very nice looking snakes. The last one is definitely a winner for me.

[Bushviper]

Thought I should just add some locality stuff as well. The others are all morphs while these are not.

Hog Island boas (Dwarf natural hypo boa)


Surinam boa (B. c. constrictor)


South Brazil boa (B. c. amarali)


Guyana red tailed boa (B. c. constrictor)


Argentine boa (B. c. occidentalis)

[Westley Price]

My word, that suriname is a stunner, as well as the amarali! Subspecies we dont get too see too often (or al all) locally.

Crazy selection, congrats guys.

Have you had these for a while or a new import?

[rolandslf]

Oh my word, that occidentalis does it for me. Absolutely stunning as far as I am concerned.

[Bushviper]

Nope these are all locals we have bought up over time. I am also glad about the Argentine boa but she does not look gravid this year. Who knows, we are still holding thumbs.

Day two. Some more boas.

Not my favourite snake but the only male we could get. Salmon x Argentine boa (aka Salmontine)



Just a normal salmon



Kahl strain albino



Pastel Kahl albino



Type 1 Anery boa

That B.c. occidentalis is really nice. I didn’t realize we were fortunate enough to have any in the country. I really hope she drops tons of babies for you!

[wadekilian]

Wow! These are some seriously awesome snakes!

How much would pure B. c. constrictor and B. c. amarali go for in SA? I'd imagine reputable breeders would be able to command a slightly higher price due to the guarantee of genetic purity as I often see people trying to pass off their intergrades as pure B. c. constrictor

[Bushbaby]

It's always difficult to chose a favorite boa... I like them all, but that Pastel Super Salmon does have a special place in my heart as I produced her.

The B c occidentalis is a very intimidating snake, but they have the freakiest eyes.

Some more for today

Salmon jungle



Salmon pastel



Columbian Motley




Salmon motley jungle

[Skyeli]

The Salmon motley jungle & Kahl strain albino are a winner for me!

[Bushbaby]

I think the Kahl strain albino posted is actually the Sunglow?

[Bushviper]

I will check up on them. I have this as the Sunglow



and this as the albino



but boas do change colour depending on temperatures and when last they have eaten.

Here is a coral albino which is also stunning



and then the Lipstick Coral albino Motley Sunglow



Then a Salmon jungle


and lastly a Super salmon pastel


I will possibly be putting these pictures all up on two posters so if anyone is interested they should be at the expo this weekend.

WOW, so many amazing boas. Super jealous!
Pastel Kahl Albino is my favourite
