Just Wanted to Share a Boa Story of Mine

Hi guys,



My name is Arnold....Ive been silently lurking around here for some time now....



Id have to say that the eye candies you guys post around here are really something else....Im mostly into arboreal boas and pythons but do have some boas hidden at the back....a pet albino and a couple of normal columbians....



Anyways, I just wanted to share with you my boa male. I got him from a friend of mine almost two years ago....



My buddy called me and told me he just got a new litter of boas....so I went over to take a look....and I saw a little baby that really stood out with great color in a litter of 21 babies....actually two in the litter which includes himself exhibited a lot of color at the time which none of their sibs had....basically pinkish sides with bronzish saddles.



I remember saying to myself "what are these two doing here????They just dont seem to belong"



My buddy was going to wholesale the entire litter away....and I thought to myself why not get a nice pair for myself.....it would be a waste to send such nice boas to a petshop.....



his other look alike sibling was slightly deformed so I ended up taking this guy home together with a normal looking female sib.....I was thinking of using him to add color to some het albinos in case I ever decided to breed my albino female.....



So the rest of the litter was wholesaled by my buddy and in a couple of weeks I gave my new boas their first meals....



Fast forward to just a few days ago when I was taking some random pics of this male and I just thought to myself how glad I am in taking him home with me two years ago.....hope you appreciate







Here is a hanging shot







A couple of shots from the side















An almost patternless belly shot with some side blotches....







A medal







And of course almost everybody's favorite...a tail







Isnt he showing potential???



Thanks for looking,

Arnold
