Dave,



You do realize this is the second snake you have acquired that I actually almost purchased. I only have two BCI's, both females, I do have a pic ( purchase pic ) of one of them from the Boa Woman, although just regular to some, she gets better and better with every shed. The other I have to get a picture of, she looks VERY molted looking, she reminds me of a bci you sometimes see listed when sunglow as "dripping with color" lots of red and orange all over the snake, this "dripping color" is in my opinion due to the fact the underlying snake as a "non albino/sunglow" does not have what most call a "clean" pattern. The snake is molted with black patterning to the point it looks very different than most "cleaner" bci. She is very beautiful and shines purple like you would not believe. She is covered with black speckling where as my other boa from the boa woman has little in comparison. Both beautiful, but I guarantee they would look extremely different if they where expressing the "sunglow" gene. This. "other" Boa was given to me because the person who had it could no longer keep it due to changing laws in New York. ( NJ has fair laws in comparison to NY ) .



Now back to the two snakes that where "almost" mine. I have no animosity towards you at all, in fact, I was not ready to make the plunge just yet, but, since they are in your collection ( which we know is carefully selected for, ummmmmmm GREATNESS ) I know when I do, I am sure to select great animals to work with. Your collection of both BCI and BRB is quite impressive, and I have picked out of your collection what you consider your "nicest" specimens. So you have "great snakes" and I have "great taste" in snakes, or maybe we both suck all together and just have similar opinions. Regardless, Congrats on the new acquisitions and someday soon, you may want to look into a good "boa intervention" program for addicts.



My boawoman female....much bigger now....new pics soon...
