Does anyone in here have any good pics. of a brazilian rainbow boa?? Also pics of a brazilian redtail boa would be nice. Thanks

LOL, I have lots of pics:

This is Savannah, believe it or not, she was a rescue. Came to me with dry skin and crusty eyes. Was also a bit thin.

One of this years orgy's

Some 2004 holdbacks (breeders starting next year)

Some 2005 holdbacks:

Hypomels:




Bullseyes:

Phew, that about cover it for you? LOL,

Ha ha!
Dave, you're awesome. Too funny!

A BRB LOL! What is that one in the tree that looks blackish with orange dots/saddles??? Amazing collection!

I know the feeling, I saw my first BRB 18 years ago and had to have some, now I have 28 (plus 2 more coming) of my own plus still have 20ish for sale from last year.

This is PE-M5-19, the one you liked. She is one of my 2005 babies I held back as a future breeder

Some of her littermates I have not sold yet:
Male PE-M5-02:

Female PE-M5-01

Male PE-M5-22

Some half related siblings (same father):
Male BO-M5-13

Female BO-M5-09

Female BO-M5-10

Male F7-M5-01

Female BU-M5-01

And a 100% unrelated Male SA-PO-07 (this pic he's in shed but he is stunning)

normal, I have never seen one like her. She looks like a different locality or something. Do you think her siblings will grow to look like her? One of them appears to resemble her somewhat. Thanks

-Greg Reinert-

Not really sure, It seems to be a result of the bullseye pattern I've been cultivating. Or at least associated with the animals I'm using to cultivae my bullseyes. Notice the side crescents are very thick and several go so far as to connect at the bottom creating a circular or bullseye pattern. I picked out her as my favorite for both the bullseye affect and the extreme contrast between dorsal pattern color and background color. If you'd like, email me and I'll get some fresh pics tonight.

The male is very similar coloring, I just have too many babies to keep them all.

I have several projects going at the same time with my BRB's. Some for intensly bright colors, some for the bullseye patterns (and eventually intensly colored bullseyes) and also have a hypomelanistic outcrossing project going as well. I have the diversity to do all this, but it is a bit hard to decide what to do when. Like I said in my earlier post, I have 28 now with 2 more coming. 9 are proven breeders already, 7 more will be breedable next year and the remaining 14 will start breeding in 2008.

Yes, thank you very much. You have a beautiful collection of snakes. I was wondering can I breed the columbian redtail & the brazilian rainbow together & what do u think the babies would look like?

I don't think it can be done, IMO not worth trying. These are completely different species. Only related as "boas" in that they are all live bearers.

There is a great deal of normal variation in the color and pattern of Brazilian Rainbow Boas. The Hypo ones that Dave posted the PICs of are genetically proven morphs. Hopefully within the next few years there will be other morphs bred and proven out. This snake is from a litter produced by the late Gary Walsh in 2002 and the variation in pattern is well outside the normal range of variation. The color of this snake is also somewhat but not quite as light as the proven hypo bloodline. There were a couple siblings in the 02 litter that looked like this snake and one other which I have which is even more abberantly patterned but has reduced dark and red-orange coloration. There have been some outcross breedings of this bloodline this year and hopefully some babies will be produced to determine in the future if these snakes carry a heritable genetic mutation. We have a Rainbow Boa forum here on kingsnake.com. New posters there are treated with the utmost courtesy and respect. Come on over and have a look sometime.

Ricardo,
...The snake in the PIC is female and has been a poor feeder since birth. She is under 5 feet at this time. The other snake I have from the litter is her sister who spent the first 2 years feeding poorly but has done okay since. She was just big enough to breed this year and seems to be gravid. She has been with several normal males. If I remember correctly the 2002 litter was small, around 10 in all and 5 were different looking. This poses the possibility that this is a dominant rather than recessive mutation. I know of one other female from the litter that has been bred to a normal this season. Litters of babies from the two that have been bred this year will probably provide more clues about this possible mutation.
