Greetings,

Red color and pattern of our Dominican Red Mountain Boa. These are stunning snakes which become brighter red as they grow. Adults average about 6 feet in length. This snake was produced by Tom Crutchfield in Florida.

Great looking snakes, I really like the red!!!!

Do you know if much work has been done to selectively breed for even more red? I ask because of the work I've done with BRB's and selective breeding has produced some amazing animals. Some with reds to rival those of your DMRB's.

Hi Dave,

These DR boa's have only RECENTLY started to get bred in numbers, selective breeding is still in it's infancy. Although, Tom Crutchfield has the brightest red-orange babies, his breeders are also top of the line.

Some of Tom's stock animals are even more colorful than this outstanding female pictured, a few of his adults are red-orange-red. The litters for these boa's are small, 10-25 babies, color really starts to show at about two years....becoming more intense as the snakes age. I also have a few small babies and am looking forward to see how they turn out.
