Aaron Koestler from Eau Claire Wisconsin was advertising some Peruvian Rainbow Boas in the Kingsnake.com other boas ads. I asked him for PICs and information on his breeders. He said he got the breeders from Karl Hermann and that the scale counts are right for them to be real gaigei. He sent PICs that looked a lot like some of my Peruvians. I believe Karl got some of his breeders from the same source I got some of mine. The PICs of the babies showed that they had very thick dark markings so I bought ten of them. They got here yesterday and settled in well so tonight I fed a few of them and took some PICs.

This next one is as shy as it looks in this PIC

These next two PICs are one of the females that does not want to calm down. Notice the curled tail in both PICs. Rainbow Boas of all subspecies will curl their tails like this when they are threatened and striking defensively. Most of the rest of them were biting when I took them out of the deli cups yesterday but are tame now.

Very nice pick up. There are some real beauties in that group. Congrats!

These snakes were eating frozen and thawed mice for Aaron. I fed a couple of them with frozen and thawed fuzzy mice but the rest got live fuzzy rats. I may be the only person around who switches snakes that have been eating frozen and thawed back to eating live. I have extra live pinky and fuzzy rats available almost all the time. Feeding them is so much easier than thawing mice.

Very nice snakes Jeff, I have done that more then once using live as well. They usually will still take F/T in the future after they get they live ones.

Thanks,

I opened my mouth and out flowed a melody black.

I'm really liking the 3rd to last snake. Very cool markings.

I've been chatting with Aaron about his babies. Seeing if anything good is still available. Thinking about grabbing one.

Hope your's are doing well.
