"Paraguanas" this year??

TCReptile Feb 22, 2012 07:56 AM

Maybe so...fingers crossed.

These boas come from the Paraguanera or Paraguana Peninsula in Venezuela. I believe it was in Vin's book I read that the locals call them "Paraguanas". Mr Rentfro is credited with bringing these to culture.

Are paraguanas supposed to look like anery and are considered a natural occurring anery boa?...or at least anery looking...

Some are darkish, some are lighter but the tendancy toward anerythrism common to the Belize Island Boas doesn't seem to present iteself with this local.

Another quite poor pic of this pair courting/copulating.

Some pics of my original pair taken not long ago. I recently acquired two more females so the female in these pics is not the one my original male is seen engaging the female in the pics previously posted.

Finally some old pics when my original pair were very young...

These are quite small and slow growing boas.

Thanks for looking,

TC
