My Favorite boa

DaveyFig Aug 13, 2011 10:13 PM

Currently this is my favorite snake in my collection. I hope to add more like her soon. A lot of my boa plans include boas that have this look.

Very impressive looking girl indeed. Love the pattern and color combo, makes a stunning boa. You mentioned you have more that have a similar appearance and I hope breeding some Aztec genetics into some of them is being planned. Again beautiful boa and can't wait to see what they produce, I'm sure it will be a visual treat. Take care and good luck. Andrew

I would LOVE to breed aztecs into these. Not this particular female, but one that is nearly identical, but a little bigger and that has a stripe for the last section of the tail rather than individual blotches. Unfortunately, aztecs are still not within my budget range. Maybe if I have a good season, that will be something I can get next year.

That is a beauty for sure? I have had snakes my entire life, but I am just now learning, trying to learn, about all the different morphs etc..... Would this be a normal BCC, or BCI? If not, what is it?
Thanks

Hello Davey Giltner....

That is one of the best Colombian imperators that I have seen in quite some time. I hope that you will be able to track down a male with similar patterns. You have an amazing boa in your collection....Best of luck with her.

Regards,
Orlando

Thank you very much Dr. Diaz! For this girl, I have a special male owned by another boa keeper lined up that will keep the babies pure.
