Where are the big'uns?

Burmuda May 22, 2003 06:35 AM

Just wondering, I've been at this forum for 7 months and it seems all the boas I've seen are yearling or less, i dont think I've seen any full grown adults, could someone post some pics, eh?

The pictures aren't great quality, but they're all I've got right now. These are all my adults, plus I have 3 juveniles - a yearling male, a yearling female, and a petite three year old female.

Strider - 7 ft male, 8 years old

Doc Watson - 7 ft female, 4 years old

Duncan - 6 ft female, 10 years old

Freckles - 7 ft female, 4 years old

Hiss - 7 ft male, 12 years old

Guess I should've read the Tools & Toys first. They changed the format on me for posting multiple pics. *shrug* Computer savvy I ain't.

He is a real beauty. Hiss is actually the same color as Strider most of the time, but this pic of Hiss was pre-shed. I got Strider & Freckles from a guy last year who's girlfriend said 'her or the snakes' (I'd have kept the snakes personally!). I got both boas for $100 - an absolute steal! They're also pretty sweet though Freckles is a bit more skittish. Duncan is also usually a lot lighter, but she's one of a couple of my boas who think they're chameleons (constantly changing shades & hues).

Hiss & Duncan produced this little beauty back in 2000. Her head is a bit washed out by the flash, but the rest of the coloring is accurate.

Her name is Cheyenne, born June 5th 2000 and roughly 3 to 3 1/2 feet long. She's petite like her mother, Duncan. I doubt very seriously that she'll ever exceed 6 feet in length. Duncan was 7 years old before I bred her. I just kept waiting and waiting for her to get bigger, but she never did. I wasn't really sure how many she'd produce when I did finally breed her to Hiss. Cheyenne was one of 18, all live young, and all of them beauties. Cheyenne was the lightest and a real standout, I just had to keep her.

Chey's a beauty too, very light base color.
Freckles was the original name of my big girl, Autumn, 14yrs..
It's funny, the nicest snakes I have were from deals, men who
were either moving out of state or their wife said to get rid
of the snakes (how I got my big albino!)... the few others were
college women who didn't think the snake was getting enough
attention. I would never get rid of my babies for a b/f, they
are a part of me, and ya gotta like the whole package or no dice.
lol
Thank you for sharing some history, you always have nice snakes.
I like seeing the big normals.

You have a beautiful snake!

I don't have a good picture of Juliet here at work. She's really dirty in this top pic b/c she needs to shed and always half lays in the water and actually gets water marks on her!

I haven't measured her in about a year, but she was a little over 6 1/2 feet a year ago and she's grown alot since then.
