Who did you get a Roatan from? Great looking boa.

"I'll be back at 6 if not 7. 8 the very latest but definatly no later than 9...ish...Moscow time."

That person is now out of buisness,I picked up what was left of his severly abused collection.All Roatan stock is staying here,its Primo stuff and we cant afford to let it get away.

But you were able to verify its lineage? Those are pretty hard to come by. It does look pretty similar to my Honduran mainland.

Just wondering, how big do they get? I've heard they are dwarfs and I've heard they can be monsters.

Boas make the world go round.

Hes fantastic. How did you aquire him? Im not usualy interested in other boas but I like him alot.

Paid Cash !.......
Much more invested in leg work then anything.
Pure form Roatans arent easy to come by. Sure there are more and more being sold here in the last couple years but for some reason the sellers cant support the sales pitch when it comes to backing up their data with reliable info.I dont buy the "they came from so in so and they got them from Dennis Sargent" song and dance.No longer viable when purchaseing this strain.Be very careful who you buy from.

so thats what my little girls father might of looked like...I was told that she was a firebelly x pastel but im beginning to think she just might be a really red pastel...I dont know the breeder personally I bought her at a local exotics store nearby and the only pic of her that I have is not very good and doesnt do this critter any justice...shes has a strawberry milk pink on her sides and she gets even lighter after dark...

I bought a snake that looks almost exactly the same as yours. It was sold to me as a central american boa but has very intense colors like yours. I dont know what type it really is but I know i got it for a gret price so i am happy

Steve Irwin you changed the way people look at reptiles forever. He has acomplished great things. Crocodile Hunter you will be missed.

I would love to see a "quality pic" of that animal you speak of.
Do you have access to a good camera ?
If ya got the time/means can you follow this up ?Real nice macro head shot from early morning hours(dark phase) would be killer.A shot of the underside of the head would help tons.Theres a few clues I would like to see if their there to see .....?

TIA

Its a pure strain Roatan Firebelly.
It comes from the Bahia Island chain off the Honduran Coast.
Not yet proven(pending) there seems to be "at least" three different phases to this form,possibly four ??(We have one thats a dead ringer for a Corn Island Boa)it will be awhile before anything is proven though.............
