Silver Girl - Coming of age..

tcdrover Sep 10, 2007 04:04 PM

Getting ready for some football.



She's right at 6 feet, maybe a little over or under. I'll breed
her in November this year. She still ony eats one jumbo every
two weeks. I'm curious what other Amarali owners feed their
adults. Rabbits?

Thanks..

I haven't weighed her, but she's got to be at at least 25 lbs.
She's nice and calm too...

Gorgeous girl.

My Blonde girl is just at 6ft or so, and never having actually weighed her, I would estimate 10lbs. That being based on other boas I have weighed. She's an '03, and this will be her first year. She eats a large rat weekly.

My Orange Crush male is shy of 4ft. And I'd estimate 3 lbs. He's an '04 and gets a medium rat every 3 weeks.

Here's a picture of each.

They'll be paired up in less than 2 months. Though I'm not sure that the female is a female, lol. Guess I'll find out.

Did you take those picks when the sun was setting?

I've got to weigh her. I start warming up my biceps with 25 lb
dumbell curls at the gym when I work out my arms that's the only
point of reference I have. Not exactly scientifically accurate.

Sun shining through the trees mid-day. Between the clouds and trees there were some bright spots. Just natural light, no flash.

This will be the first time I breed amaralli, usually I breed
hogs.

ChrisGilbert Sep 10, 2007 05:16 PM

Thanks. Yeah, my first shot with amarali also. So we'll see how it goes. I'm hopeful to see this work out. Two great bloodlines. Ideally the Blonde will brighten up the colors of the OC and remove some more of the black.
