A late introduction to my newest pick up

NUCCIZ_BOAS Feb 10, 2012 01:11 PM

Hello all,

Sorry I'm so late on introducing this girl to you guys, I have owned her for over a month now. In that time, I have probably taken close to 200 pictures of her, and not even come close to getting her real colors.

I'm usually very good at capturing color when it comes to corals, reds/oranges, or any other color, but this girl is very tricky and I have had no such luck. Not to mention, she makes it hard on me because her colors are different every day from the day before. I've never seen a boa whose shades go from a pastelish and almost green, to the brightest red I've seen on a hypo.

She was produced by Anthony P (Antgreentea), and has been owned by Chaz since she was a baby. She was the pick of the litter, for obvious reasons, and I've been twisting Chaz's arm for over a year to sell her to me. Last month, we finally were able to make a deal and she's MINE! (insert evil laugh here)

All of these pictures except the last one were taken by Chaz, apparently his skills are better than my own, and the pictures date back to her as a baby.

She is a 2010 Hypo Jungle 66% het VPI. Normally I don't like investing time into possible hets, but when I saw this girl, there wasn't really much doubt in my mind about her being het. She looks more like a visual than some of the actual visuals I've seen for sale.

Without further introduction......



And the only picture taken by me, which is almost offensive because it's not even close to her true colors, but it's the closest I could get:

I can't wait for her to breed. I haven't decided what I'm going to put her to just yet, but I have a couple of colorful ideas, pending the litters I get in the next few months.

Hope everyone's breeding season is going well!

Tony

That's the same thing I said. That's why I wanted her so bad. I had to twist his arm for over a year, but I finally got her! lol

For being a possible het, she doesn't leave much room for argument does she? She looks more like a visual than some of the actual visuals I've seen posted for sale, shes amazing!
