First post, new Boa

TEKNOSYS Jul 09, 2004 05:44 PM

I've been lurking on these boards for a while now, and today I got my first snake since high school. I thought I'd share. I got her at Ben Seigel's shop and I was told she is 75% True Red Tail/Surinam, 25% Columbian. Not sure if that is true or not, but she was the nicest looking Boa they had. By looking at the pics, does anybody have an idea how old she might be?

Could be anywhere between 1-6 months. Ben is pretty accurate in his descriptions... though it looks Suri, I would take his word for it. In any case good score.
Best of luck with her...

We're a fiesty bunch of know-it-alls....but we all love our Boas....and yours! Looks like a keeper. I would put it's age at 3 months...but I wouldn't bet a body part on it.

Take care, Chris Olson
