This is one of my favorites of all time!

I took this picture at John Mack's table in 2001 I believe. The first Motley Argentine which just popped up in a litter from the same bloodline as the T-Positive Argentines.

That animal isn't mine but it is still one of my favorite Boas of all time!

The animal below is one of my favorites that I have ever produced:

I just love that little guy!

Here's a couple starting with my most favorite two or three! It's hard to pick a favorite for me, although I do have some favorites from other breeders.

For one the Bloody Albino Sharp line and any of the T positive Jungles or Motleys. My most favorite is a Super Marron, those things are MEGA HOT!!!

Here you go, hope you enjoy. I'm not going to label them all, so you'll have to use your imagination as to what some of them are!


Here's two of this little jewel!

it's a boy! Sunglow Arab 100% het MOONGLOW!!! yea baby!

a lovely little girl

Hypo Jungle 100% het Anery & 66% het Albino Lipstick line!

Sunglow Jungle 100% het MOONGLOW! OOH YEA!!!

Albino Jungle 100% het SNOW! He gets a little yea! He's a "LIPSTICK ALBINO JUNGLE"! Loaded with COLOR!!!

Arabesque 100% het Albino Squaretail! Awesome colored BOAS, that are undergoing they're color change!

Arabesque 100% het Albino Squaretail!

Arabesque 100% het Albino Squaretail! Theres plenty more, but these were the nicest looking one's today. I say that because they change they're color's from day to day... kind of cool!

That's all, hope you enjoyed these photo's... I took them fresh outside today!

Sorry for the multiple photo's, but I couldn't just pick one favorite!

Thanks for looking,

>>I think you also have one of my favorite Boas on the planet. Don't you have or had a killer Anery I would give my eye teeth for???

Not me said the flea.
Not I said the fly.

Nope, I do have an anery (finally! I had wanted one for years) but he's only an '09 and I doubt that's what you meant.

I think *you* have a great anery, that female with the chain link pattern! So pretty!

The only boa I have that you've commented on wanting was my Zahara/high-pink 'pastel' pictured below when she was 5' and looking her best.

Have a great day!

I think i'm gonna keep her over here for any future breedings! She had a small premie litter this yeasr from my Hypo Jungle male. There were 4 Jungles,1 Hypo Jungle and 1 normal. Out of the six 3 were still born and I had originally thought they all were stillborns but when I woke up the next morning 2 Jungles and the Hypo Jungle female were moving. Unfortunately the Hypo Jungle female was to weak to make it but I got a perfect 1.1 from the other two survivers! These little guys were super small when they were born and not really aberrant but the color of them was amazing. They looked like full blown really nice Jungles from the start. No baby grays or stuff like that,just awesome buckskin whitish like you'd expect to see on a really nice subadult Jungle but these were no thicker than a bic pen! Everyone that saw them were blown away at how their colors for being so small. I know...wheres the pix right. Well,they were so small,premie and fragile I never really bothered taking pix cause I didn't want to risk stressing their little bodies out and loosing them. Also,the mom didn't do that great after birth so I neeeded to protect them even more in case she didn't make it. I'm happy to say though after a few months without eating she took two good sized mediums down lastnite! I was sooooo happy when she took the first one down so I offered another. I definitely think her looks played a part in how good the Jungles looked so theirs more work that needs to be done with these on my end cause I don't think i'm dealing with just a regular Anery. Plan is to breed son back to mom next season as long as she pulls threw and gets all of her weight back. If not i'll breed brother and sister together in a couple of years and see what happenes. I've had a loooong list of people waiting for her babis sense I first started posting her back in 05/06. I was actually hoping for a smaller litter though(just not this small!) cause I want to see whats going on here befor I let any hets or visuals go. I'll keep the forum posted on her and her babys.

norajohn Sep 18, 2009 08:40 PM

This is my favorite non morph. I have had her for 5 or 6 years. Sad thing is she has never seen a male. Bolivians are just so different looking from most boas. I think that is why I like them.

This Colombian was imported and hand picked from Tom Cruchfield.

My very first Albino Boa born in 2000 she produced her first litter this year just before her ninth birthday!!! It wasn't her first from lack of trying though... She is what started it all for me, a dream come true. I actually had an albino boa and life couldn't of gotten any better... I never sell females that produce for me. They do their part, then I will do mine!

I am pretty fond of Burl too!!!He likes football, and doesn't talk through the game!!!

But he will try and stick something in your ear if your not paying attention!!!!

I think my Bolivians are my favorite boas I own as of right now. They are such a curious boa always checking things out and they change color allot as they get older. But my very first Colombian BCI boa has to be my all time favorite boa I have ever owed. I got her when I was 11 years old and she was around 2 weeks old. She lived for 18 year and I still miss her today. I would give all my snakes up just to have her with me now.

Here are my Bolivians.

This is my first boa I ever owed. I am the dork with the dark hair. LOL I took her every where I went when I was a kid.

Take care

NO question right now the Harlequin bloodline has got to be our favorite. Kind of hard to justify spending big money on hypo jungles when you can buy a smokin' hypo harlequin that has just as much potential to produce some rediculous animals. The following animals were produced from 2 completely non aberrant hypo harlequins being bred together. You have got to give it up to the Magee's for showing everyone this bloodline as well as the determination to breed these animals for years to show their potential. Again all of these animals were produced from absolutely non aberrant hypo animals bred together. Both were Harlequin orange tails. Brendan and Tim Magee are IT when it comes to BOA Breeding.
