Well, your previous photo that did manage to post is most definitely a common Colombian Boa(B.c.imperator). And yes, they do darken very substantially as they mature. They are also very commonly called "red tail" boas, but really are not the same type as TRUE red tail ssp. from the Amazon basin, even though they do have a red tail. B.c.imperator originate further west and northwest of that.

Anyway, here is the best way to post pics on the forum. Go get a FREE photobucket account and follow these simple instructions. It's as easy as pie.

posting photos and multiple photos


There are many different ways to post photos, or multiple photos, but the absolute EASIEST way is to simply go to your photobucket album, then when you put your cursor on any photo there, you will see a drop-down menu. go down and "click" on the bottom bar marked "IMG code", then just simply go into the normal text field "right click" and paste it in there on the forum where you would normally do all your typing.

It will look like a bunch of weird text jargon, but when you hit the "post message" button....BINGO!, there it is.

You can leave little spaces in between pics with your "enter" key on the keyboard to type in captions etc.. as well.

You can do this with as many pics as you want, or of any size, but. They re-did their site format, and somewhere on there you can even limit all the phots to better fit 15" monitors, 16" moitors, etc.... Generally speaking, if the photos are about 1000 x 750 or smaller, they are more easily viewed by people so they don'y have to scroll around looking at HUGE photos that are much larger than the monitor.

All the image bracket nonsense is all done for you when you do it like I mentioned, it is as easy as pie really.

One suggestion though. To prevent any mistakes from actually being posted, I strongly suggest that you check things out and click the "Preview Message" button to see exactly how it will look to the forum viewers, then you can save the embarrassment of posting screw-up's multiple times like so many do..LOL!


Good luck!
