Inca Boa - The Snake Keeper

Boas By Klevitz

We had the original imcas as baby imports we hand picked outr of a shipment here in Miami. Thats when the central american craze was in full swing so even importers were asking alot for different looking ones.
There was a red inca and a black one. We bought the red one and out friend Ben Siegel brokered it to Jack Briggs(who I think is out of business?) who sold it to the snakekeepers. Ben bought the black one and it went the same route.
But it originates straight from a farm in nicaragua.

The Incas are truly an amazing looking morph as are many of the Central american stuff that has been discovered or created. It is baffling to me why these awesome, relatively smaller boas are no longer popular. The T-positives, the motleys, the leopards, the Ghosts, plasmas, black eyes, type 2's seem like they never move when i see the same ads running on kingsnake. People are giving them away! Any ideas why the lack of interest.

I just purchased some T-pos Central American boas. Not because I think they are the prettiest boas out there, but because they are all boa in a reduced package size. Easier for myself and my son to handle in our alotted snake space and caging. And for peace keeping - my wife does not want us to have the potential of an 8ft boa.

But if I could have it all my way, I would have gone Colombian. I just love the size and look of a nice South American BCI, morph or not. I'm guessing most keepers prefer the non-CA stuff.

But we need the CA stuff to fill the niche for folks like me. So keep it coming.

The main drawback to many people is that the dwarves on average are not as friendly, and normals are not as pretty as the "Colombians," or BCC. There is a huge prejudice by many in that do not want dwarf morphs crossed with other locales (even though many "Colombians" are of quite dubious genetics, including morphs). I like the small size, and bright colors of morphs in the dwarves. Never require food larger than rats, never need more than one person for safe handling, and they are ridiculously easy to breed. Slightly smaller litters (one of the "pluses" that helped make BP's popular/hold their price) than the bigger boas are a downside to many big breeders supplying the pet shop/exporter market.

I think there is some misnomer with regards to size and temperment depending on locale origin. My original burke line t-pos females is a solid 6+ ft and 15 lbs, and all of my CA's are extremely handable. As more morphs are produced a tendency toward tameness can and has ben achieved.

Burke T-pos

That sunglow is fantastic! So is the motley.

I got my male Burke T-pos from you, just recognized those pics. What a gem. He is very easy going.

I have another, unknown line, that unfortunately is touchy. I can hold him, but anyone around me by gets struck at. I guess he thinks of me as his branch. Smallest boa I've ever seen. Perfectly proportioned but miniscule at 2 yrs old. Great feeder too, just a small snake.

All true.............we still have them and they are doing very well. I will try to post some pics of them here soon. They are amazing as some have said.

I recall seeing them on someone elses website a year or more ago wherein they were described as being "another Nicaraguan motley." My impression was that this was more assumption (due to similarity of pattern/although I find them more raptor-like) than knowledge, since I've saw no pics of "super Incas." Can we see belly/underside of tail pics on Incas? I have a very Inca-like Nic subadult female that does not have the raptor-like venter markings. Would just like to compare

Its amazing what a little Google search can through up:
