.... extreme beauty! (not actually).. anyway, I drug this old thing out into the sun for a couple of photos.. maybe I don't know a danged thing about there being no difference between any boas in someplace or another such place.. but I think I know a pretty redtail when I see one, and this is one.
.
Enjoy!

You take a lot of your pictures outside. I love to take my boas outside mostly because they seem to enjoy it. I imagine getting some real sunlight helps them too. I have heard, or read somewhere, that snakes can get more agressive or moody when outside. I imagine it would be a reversion of somesort to their primitive nature in the wild. Have you ever had a problem with this? I have taken my boas, many different ones, out on many occasions and never really had a problem.

Just curious

... it is absoluttely true! Very many boas, especially BCC react strongly to being outside, in the open with no cover. Amarali and occidentalis can hate it too. Add to that the giant predator with the one huge eye (camera lens) looming over them and it can get dicey.

I'm just patient and actually when they tense up and start following your moves you can get a window of opportunity for aspects, poses and maybe behaviour that looks great in a photo.. you just have to stop and try again if they get really scared.

THANK YOU!

Damn right about that!! Beautiful Peruvian? Ecuadorian? Central West Brazilian? Colombian maybe? .

It was only ever a discussion man, I hope you never took it as anything beyond. Seems like maybe things got taken a little personally?

I'm still baffled that you never came forth with your answer on how to differentiate them.

I did go back and re-read some, you said interbreed, and I read 'inbreed' and commented as such. My mistake on that.

Again, that's a beautiful boa Gus as are most of the ones you post.

Have a good weekend man, and let us know what the answer is! I'm dieing to know.

I always get so emotianally worked up just reading the stuff on this forum, because, like everyone, I have opinions about these subjects tht often conflict with the most vehement poster on a given thread. Sometimes I let the emotion carry me off into a wonderland of self-righteousness, and then I invariably make an @$$ of myself to a greater or lesser extent.
It seems that you are a very even-keeled fellow, and you knwo how to inject jollity into any situation. Thanks again.

Of course it's my opinion, I said it, didn't I?
Breeding season is always just around the corner....JOY!!!

I can spell "emotionally," I promise. I just have "keyboard dyslexia," from typing too fast, perhaps.

It's so weird, I have developed this disability where I transpose phonetically similar letters with one another, regardless of their proximity to one another on the keyboard.
I can't figure it out...
