When I first got home from work the otherv day I check on my gravid boas and found Powder my big girl had 38 slugs and no babies. What a bummer as I was hoping for some nice babies from her as I breed her with Jason my pastel het for albino this year.

Well I cleaning up her cage and her as both where dirty. She did not like me cleaning her up at all, but I did manage not to get bit by her. LOL My older son was surprised at how fast boas can strike. Anyway I thought I would cheer myself up and take a few snakes out for some pictures as it was nice outside and some just shed in the last few weeks.

First up is my 2008 Female Salmon Possible Jungle. I just love her eyes and her base color and she just keeps getting better with age.

Second up is my Albino purple phase retic. This guy is doing great now for me and I think he is going to be tamer than Tigger my big female tiger retic.

Take care
Tom

Sorry to hear about that. I'm hoping I don't see many of those
over here in July and August.

NICE retic, I've always loved those. I could never actually
keep one though.

I'd say that is a definite Hypo Jungle if you ask me. Not that you did, but I'd bet a hundred bucks that it is. Easily. Next year Mr. McCarthy!
