We got this lil' girl (5') from a rescue/removal and we need to know the correct name (scientific also please) and the morph/color scheme if any.
I dont have a wieght on her yet but she is a tame lil girl for the bites she got from her food on her nose and under her chin. Those are being treated with a 50/50 mix of water and nolvasan 2x a day and then a lil' nesporin at night. she sits and lets me do it...shes so good...still love my pythons though.
Thanx for looking.
Hers a couple more, first two are daylight, the rest are flash pix.
You can see the rat bites I gotta clean up in this one.
Scientific name: Boa constrictor imperator
Common names: boa constrictor, common boa constrictor, Colombian boa, Central American boa, Colombian redtail boa. Boa constrictor imperator is found from northern Mexico to nothern Colombian, but most of the boa constrictors in the pet trade come out of Colombia, as far as I know. These are the common boas of the pet trade. I'd probably call it a common boa constrictor or Colombian boa constrictor. The others are lesser used alternatives that you might prefer. However, I believe many prefer to restrict "Central American boa" to the BCI from the countries between Colombia and Mexico.
Morph: Normal.
Good luck.
