I acquired a pair of 7' Argentines in trade, but I mainly keep colubrids so I have a few questions for you boa people. First, they hiss and strike like mad, the guy who had them before never handled them. I have heard argentines are aggressive, but can I tame them down at this age (4) without being bitten like mad? Or maybe they are all bluff, like my blackheaded pythons? Any tips? Second, Ive seen the photos of some argentines here that look like dirty columbians. Mine are VERY dark chestnut brown, almost black in places. I think they are beautiful, but whats the deal? Which are the real argentines, and what do I have if they arent argentines? Third, what are they worth if I opt to sell them? And finally, if I keep them, any tips on cycling them and pairing them up (or keeping them together)? Thanks.
