Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Just kidding. I just got a pair of Het Albino Hondos and was wondering if these would be considered Tangerine? I just got back into collecting snakes and I had mostly Boas up until the last few months with a trio of Hognose being the first colubrids and I bought 6 more snakes today. A pair of Thayeri, Hondos and a pair of adult Pueblans. I am usually in the Boa forum but I will be frequenting here now as well.

Take care-

Let me know what you think:

Hi Brett
Yes, the honduran in your photo would be tangerine. A nice lookin' one at that. Did you get it at a show? I'm somewhat of a hondo addict, can't seem to have too many. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks....I picked up a pair from a guy named Chris Baubel in Northern Cal. I originally just wanted this pair but ended up with the other snakes as well!

What town in northern cal. is Chris in. I also live in northern cal. Btw, I keep thayeri also and enjoy all their variability of possible offspring color and pattern. When I'm feeling like a change from lion taming my young hondurans I switch over to handling my mellow thayeri, knobs, mex mex, etc. Still, my favorite is the high spirited hondurans.

Where in NorCal are you? I am in Rocklin CA. Chris is in Petaluma. Yeah I have mostly Boa constrictors and I used to keep colubrids when I was a kid. You aren't kidding about lion taming...lol. They are definitely a handful. Thats one thing I like about my Boas.....slow and handleable. It's still a nice change though and the colors are awesome. Here's my male Thayeri.

I'm up in Paradise, CA. Was out of town fri/sat cycling in Chester/Lake Almanor. Nice thayeri you have there. One of my three year old males looked just like it when he was younger. I got him and a (female(now gravid), from a breeder in '02 at the Sact. show. I also like boas & have had a number of them over the years; none presently though. The only boid I have now is a yearling male Woma, (mild,"interesting" behaviors). I got him free, along with some hondos that I bought from a breeder last summer. He was at no cost because he requires (assist feeding). I still haven't been able to get him to eat on his own after trying most all the "tricks". Really cool snake though; has a caramel colored zebra pattern & an almost human like (high curiosity) personality. Trippy little dude!
