Slightly off topic but still boas and still amazing!!!!

Some recent pics from my Candy Stripe project:

This is one of the 2012 Super Candy Stripes Zabrina:

And another shot of Zabrina showing off her pink tongue:

Next up is the other 2012 Super Candy Stripe Zephira, she was a little shy that day:

Third on today's menu is a 2011 Super Candy Stripe Zorba:

He's developed a lot of speckling, much more than when he was a baby but you can see some speckles in this baby pic of Zorba:

Last on today's menu is one of my favorites, a 2011 Super Candy Stripe Zena:

And just for kicks, a baby shot of Zena for comparison:

The dentists around the world must love me for sharing all this candy!

Congrats, Dave!
Those are insane looking!
You are the Rainbow MASTER!
In your opinion, would you say that Rainbow Boas are nippier than BCI?

Thanks Aaron.

Yes, BRB's are nippier than BCI but smaller so not the SLAM bruise that you can get when tagged good by a BCI. Like all snakes, it's more a matter of reading them. For the most part I know when one is gonna be persnickety and simply don a glove. Only for the adults though. For the babies I just let em bite, conditions them that biting does not chase away the bad hand.
