I took a few photos of some of my sonorans earlier to compare their coloration and patterns.
Here's one of my holdback female baby sonorans, at about 3 months of age:
My two year old (2001) female Sonoran Boa, Ed Wallen line:
The two, side by side:
My 5-6 year old adult female (not the mother of the baby):
My 5-6 year old adult male:
These snakes sure change color as they get older! The 3 month old was originally a brownish color, and with each shed, she gets lighter. She is also very hissy and snappy.
My Ed Wallen line female is calm as can be. She's never hissed or snapped at anyone. I can reach right in and pick her up with very little response.
My adult male is very shy, has hissed only when in shed, but never attempted to bite.
My adult female is just as snappy as the 3 month old. She'll take a hand off if its anywhere near her while she is in her enclosure.
Last weight-the two adults were around 4lbs for the male, 5lbs for the female. I have not weighed the 2 year old or 3 month old lately.
