I had an 03 pair of Argentines that I recently traded and will surely one day regret.

Mine were always very docile but had voracious feeding habits. They have a reputation for being nasty due to an article about them a few years back in reptiles magazine but I never had any problems handling mine.

One drawback to Argentine boas....they get large. I don't mind large snakes but I prefer snakes that remain under 6 ft....mostly for caging purposes.

Argentines are amazing snakes, esp. for educational value...given their endangered status...which is a shame but some good can come from owning them and sharing them with others, whether through showing off pics or teaching others about them in-person.

Not to get into a morph debate or anything...but I've seen some people occassionally sell ArgentineXColombian crosses as pure Argentines and they're not. Its a shame...be careful when shopping for some. Not to say that some of the Argentine morphs out there aren't cool...but I always thought that when they're mixed with other boa species, it takes some special away from the BCO's

I'd love to get back into them when Tpositives come down in price a little.

BTW, those are awesome Joe......is that last pic a salmon boa? or something new?
