New pics of the mother Sonoran and my other two

ChaosCat Jul 02, 2003 06:10 PM

Here's the mother of the babies I posted before, showing the variance of colors with Sonorans

These first few were taken outside, she was actually almost beet red, but the camera shows it as brown.

then these next ones were taken inside, back in her lair..

here's Coral, another female:

and lastly, Nova, my male-the last pic of him is a comparison between him and a paper towel tube.

The pictures make them all seem larger than they are, but seriously-they are all under 5 feet and the biggest one, Coral-who is possibly gravid- has a girth of 8 inches.

I gotta say I'm a bit partial to the dark colored boas (and the iridescence they can have) vs. the current trend of hypo boas. Very sweet bunch of Sonorans...thanks for sharing the pics!!!

No problem I love their variance in color, myself. So pretty! Especially the day after they have shed!
