My Whole Collection

topnotchboas Aug 06, 2005 12:12 AM

I was changing the water in all my cages and my camera was sitting there... taunting me... So I had to give in and took pictures of every boa in my possesion right now... even the ones in deep shed.

First up, 2004 Harlequin Female that I purchased from Gray Rushin. She has stunning body coloration. I cannot wait to see how she looks as an adult:

Here is my 2004 Jungle Male in deep shed. I anticipate him actually shedding tonight or tomorrow. Hes giving me a weird tilted head "why did you move my bowl, I was using that as a pillow" look:

Here is my 2004 Hypo Het Anery and Het Albino Male.

2004 Sunglow Possible Het Stripe Male. This guy just shed today. This was his first time shedding in my possesion and wow... he just blows me away. To me, he is without a doubt the most impressive boa in my collection:

2004 Arabesque Albino Female.

2004 Salmon Male (Possible Super). This guy is actually sold:

2004 Salmon Male (Possible Super). He is in deep shed, this is as dark as you will ever see him. I anticipate him shedding within the next few days. He's also sold:

2004 Aberrant Salmon Female (Possible Super). Also sold:

This guy I have actually never shown before. He is a hypo het anery that I got from Frank Martin. He is a fiesty little guy. I actually was planning on raising him up for a year then likely selling him... but I think I am actually going to keep him now. Frank wasnt sure if his lines are salmon or Gee line... This guy looks kind of Gee to me. He has a pretty light undertone and reduced tail splotches.

2002 Arabesque Het Albino Het Stripe Female. Need I say more?

1999 "Normal" Female. I would contend that this girl falls into the pastel phenotype catagory. I love her tail and light head. I got her from Gray Rushin.

2001 EBV Red Group Female. I also got this girl from Gray Rushin. Her tail isnt as nice as the Normal listed above but she has a more pastelish undertone... it didnt really show up very well in the pictures... looks better outside in the sun.

2003 Albino Het Stripe Female. I got this girl from Peter Kahl. Shes quite big for her age on large rats. Im thinking she will be ready for breeding next season. Should be interesting!

2003 Salmon Male (Possible Super). I got a super-deal on this guy from Mat Rivera (he rules, give him a round of applause please). This salmon got me hooked on salmon hypos which led me to purchasing the three other 04's listed above. I sold them because I unexpectadly purchased the hypo triple het and the sunglow to replace the males. This salmon is past due for a shed...

And last but not least my monster of a 1999 Albino Female. This girl is a beast! Extremely tame though (luckily).

Those are definitely some killer looking snakes! I especially like the really colorful Sunglow and Albino although they ALL look great!

Thanks for sharing!

While the jungle, albino arabesque, and normal pastel are very nice...absolute love to havers...I am floored by the coloring in the sunglow and albino het stripe. Amazing.

Thats an impressive sized 1999 albino female. With a head that wide,Im sure that your glad that she is tame! The Arabesque/het for albino really stands out. Nice snakes indeed. Thanks for sharing.
