Longicauda take two...

lateralis Apr 18, 2010 01:52 PM

Looked in this morning to see my female longicauda blown up like a balloon, dont know who put the football in with her but she ate it lol...

This will be her second litter in 4 years (I breed them biannually)and she is just now turning 6 years old so should be ready to go again. Last litter was 24 perfect babies with one anery and many golden ones like dad. I hope to see the same or better this year now that she is older and bigger, sire and dam are unrelated Harding line animals. I held 6 back from the first litter to see how they would turn out, I was not dissapointed!

What's written above is purely my opinion. In fact, MOST of what you read on the internet is someone's opinion. Don't take it too seriously

Thanks JB, they are my favorite boa, I like them all but the fact that these guys stay around 6 feet and have really sweet attitudes is a bonus. The babies go through such a dramatic color change that it really is 3 or more years before you know just what they are going to look like. Really great animals, I wish there was more done in terms of study/research on them...I'd like to find one in the field one day if I ever make it down that far south.

Here is a picture of mom just after dropping her first litter (you can see them in the rear, right corner of her enclosure.
