Considering A boa Have a few questions

TomChambers Oct 28, 2003 07:56 AM

Hello Boa fans, I've been A Ball Python enthusiast for a while now, but was considering getting into Boas. I have a few questions If anyone has the time and willingness to answer I would be greatly appreciative.
1) I have been doing a lot of lurking in the forums and other sources, but can someone point out the difference between Guyana Redtails and Suriname Redtails. I don’t mean to be offensive if this is obvious, but I don’t see much variation except in extreme animals from either locale.
2) How does the coloration of Redtails from Guyana, Suriname and Peru change as these animals become adults? Any pictures of adults from each locale would be very helpful.
Thanks for any and all replies,
TomChambers

actually It was just a name that stuck with me as a child. Now 20 plus years later, my oldest friends and certain others still call me Tom. To tell the truth I don't even remember why I was dubbed TomChambers, but thats life.
BTW is Bill wealthy, if so I can change my name legally.

....because they thought that the "real" Tom Chambers from the Phoenix Suns might be staying there!

Nah....Bill's not wealthy.....sorry man.

Just don't do anything I wouldn't do! (Leaves it pretty open.)

Peace - TC
