Reptile & Amphibian Forums

well for those of you who remember my posts from a few months, or so ago....i asked several times about having redtails as pets. all kinds of questions about their personalities, etc...
well.
i went to the repticon show in atlanta today, not planning to get anything. i walked out with a 3 month old male georgous red tail. lol.
i dont have pics yet. i took some crappy pics of him in the car, but i havent received those pics in my email yet. perhaps ill post those pics when i get them.
but in the mean time....
hes a pink pastel, product of a high pink pastel/pastel breeding. hes got a nice light color, with a beautiful tail, and this beautiful pink shading throughout his body and around his saddles, which are more bow tie shaped

i just want to say thanks to Bill Schmiedecke (aka Tampa boa man) and his wife(?)
for their time, attention, wonderful service and of course this great animal. they are out of tampa florida just FYI

so be prepared for more questions ..

hope everyones having a great breeding season/summer

You will find it's hard to stop at 1 boa. LOL... Welcome to the best club in the Herp community- congrats!

here are the crappy photos i took of him on the way home...the picture doesnt even show any of that beautiful pink that hes got. but hes a cutie anyways

i had to edit the original photo to TRY to show his color. i didnt do such a hot job, but you have a better idea...

thanks on the comments and welcomings to the boa world

Sounds like a good guy. Always look for someone who will go out
of their way to explain every detail.... it goes miles. Hope to
see you around!!

I was there also, that was a great show!!!! Glad to hear you have a new boa!! I love those pink pastels they are so pretty! I ended up leaving with a new male Western Hognose and about 50 rats! lol
