I'm looking at getting at least a pair of these but I just wanted to see if there were any caresheets for them because I'm sure they have some different husbandry requirements than my other snakes. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Well, actually there are like 2. The one from Don Hamper is good. I can't remember where the other one is but I've read it like 20 times cause there's so little information about them on the internet, if you do a search, they always pop up. Like I said in my post about them, there's not much known or at least published about them. I've been keeping the ones I finally got my hands on for about 6 months. I could help you with whatever questions I can. Also, I'm not sure who mentioned that there are also very few pics of them, but I saw that one of the 12 footer on the boat too. Could barely make it our but it did look big. I also saw a pic once of researchers holding one in Cuba that was I think 10. Also saw the comment about not growing theirs any bigger than 7 feet. Not sure how or why you would want to do that. I bet they remind you of african rocks or scrub pythons when they get that size. It would be nice to see actual pics of them though.

That'd be me. lol.

Also me.

Thats actually why I want them personally.. I really love scrubs, currently have 3, including an 11ft female.. Cubans remind me of boa versions of scrubs. lol.

I have been keeping Cuban boas for 3 years, so I decided to make a care sheet. It is on expage, so when you do a net search it doesn't come up. The web address is http://expage.com/cubanboa

Hope this site helps! I haven't posted any pics in a while, so here is a pic of my male Cuban.
