The Arabesque boas! This guy is about 3 feet I would suppose. He is 66% possible het albino. He is a great little breeder! He has nice pink sides which didnt show up too well in the photo. Im going to breed him to as many albino females as I can this year. This is the first one he showed interest in.

Just be sure you don't get him stuck in "breeder" mode and end up having him not go back on a feeding schedule. It has happened to people before. Last year I bred a small albino male(not as small as this arabesque, over 4', but small by most standards) and routinely pulled him and offered him food. There were several times that he was very hesitant to eat, where as before he was a voracious feeder. I haven't personally had a male do this, but have had others say they have. Better to have an alive and unbred snake then a bred and dead one. You may well have already known to be cautious, but figured I'd mention it just in case. But, the bigger picture here.....Best of luck to you, I hope you can scrath out that 66% on his feed card later this year(of course I mean to 100%, not the other way around-lol). Take care,

Paul
