They are generally smaller, and have slightly different breeding habits..
They seem to be hardier and easier to breed.

A couple great sites for information would be

www.BrukeReptiles.com

www.RioBravoReptiles.com

Hope this helps!

Take care, Joe Rollo - BciJoe

Thanks much, sorry about that typo!
I think they delete posts with links in the titles, which is why I made this here post..
Correct, again, my apologies

Kevlar lined gloves for the million or so bites that they will give you LOL. Dang mean snakes, the Pit Bulls of the Boa world. I think they suffer from "Little Man's" syndrome. Seeing they are the smallest of the main land boas, they try and make up for it in attitude!

boas and were just unlucky with the ones you did have!! LOL I have both Colombians and Nicaraguans and find just as many nippy babies from either locale. It's more of a personality issue than a locale issue and either locale will tame very nicely with handling (especially Captive born and bred babies). Stop by my table at Daytona and we'll talk more.

I agree;;; My nics are the most docil boas I`ve ever owned.

I am dying to see the T in person. I must admit that all my interaction with Nics have always been with Wild Caught so CB ones may be much more calm, Either way mean or not, I still think those T animals are amazing!
