I kept them a few years but traded them off about four years ago. I never produced any babies although they seemed to breed constantly. They were quite problematic for me. I had 2.3 adults and couldn't figure out why mouthrot would continually come back in three of them. I went to a vet, they were treated correctly and it would clear up and then come back. I was told by more than one individual that temps needed to be unusually high due to the volcanic nature of their environment and where clouded boas were found in proximity to them. I lost the adult trio after about 2 years of frustration. The remaining pair did not exhibit any mouthrot problems but I was so upset with the project that I traded them out. I did have contact with one individual in another state that had two females but no males so he was relying on me to produced something to keep his going as well. The first animals were expensive but not too bad, it was when I started adding individuals that would pop up here and there for 2K each that started killing me, especially after they started having problems. Compound that with vet bills and the pressure to get them to reproduce to continue their existence in the hobby. It just got to be too much and the project seemed cursed from the beginning. This is my old printroom account that hasn't been deleted for some reason. Pics are low res and the quality of the site isn't the greatest either.

Howdy, I did a quick search for images of "clouded boa" on "dogpile" and I only found 5 pics. However 4 of the pictures were from NERD, maybe you can email or call them and see if they have any available, or can get you some. I hope you find what you are searching for....Good Luck, Matt
