I got this pair this weekend, but Im not 100% sure what they are. They were sold to me as Nics, but they seem dark and dont really have the red tails I see on most nice. The Fem has a bit more than the male (who i think is shedding, but is still dark) but I just dont know. Any input?

Male

Female

They definitely look like nics to me. Do you have tail shots of both? I hate to get your hopes up, but the female looks kind of hyp-ish and the male looks kind of anery-ish. Post up some more pics! Either way, congrats on a nice little pair.

HA. You cant sat something like that and not get my hopes up!j/k
The male cant be an anery because I can see hues of red in his tail, but who knows on the female. They are imports so could be... Ill take tail pics when i get off work tonight, and have charged batteries.

Hi,

I have to agree that they both look like Nics and they female looks like she might be a hypo. I think the male is a nice normal.

They don't look like Nics to me, more like an Adam and a Sue. Nic is a horrible name to give them especially the female, thats just mean...

They look like Nics to me. Nice new additions.

Boas make the world go round.

they look like nics to me .. central american boas in general are usually darker then colombians surinames brazalians etc....

Where do you think Nics come from ?
Nic's for the most part are imported under "Central American Boa"
Not sure who first coined the term ?,but several different CA locales have indentical specimens all breeding together at the farms.Iguess "Nic" is for pet trade purposes ?
