I know you guys must be tired of hearing me go on about these guys, but they just arrived from the Airport ,in a Rubbermaid and I am breathless! I cannot blame people for loving Designer Boas, with all of their flavors, but in a Market that is being dominated by designer Boas and Locality Boas that have been bred out of most of their wild traits, it is wonderful to add some more " Old World Class " to the collection. Most of the original Blood, went over to Europe and this is the last pair of the originals. I would like to thank, my good friend Mark Leshock for all of his hard work with these animals over the last 13 yrs and also for making a substantial dent in my Bank Account, Ha! These are examples of what made me fall in love with Peruvians a long time ago and I pray for good success with them and that one day this Hobby will come full circle again and Hobbyist as a whole will learn to appreciate the pure and wild beauty of the old original bloodline Boas, that are becoming more and more rare, at least from a certain perspective. She is 70 pounds and 10ft. Do not let the photo full you. Big corn fed guy and a Big rabbit fed Peruvian!.............Johnson Herp

They are few and far between which makes them that much more special when you find one (or two in your case). I remember when I was a kid you could find a real beauty at the local pet shop for $50 (Man, I hope that statement didn't give away my age). Anyway, that look can't be topped. All the captive breeding in the world will never match up to what Mother Nature took millions of years to produce. Best of luck with your new additions.--------RON

I could not be more pleased. I had one heck of an impressive collection of Peruvians back in the 90s and unfortunate circumstances, left me to sell them to some dear friends. The unreal pair that Barry Miller has, came from one of my breedings, so I have been known in the past to dibble in the " clean marked " genepool, however these are what bring an everlasting smile to my face. Let me know if you get any out of that Brazilian female you have and put me on the list......Johnson Herp

This is a huge tail, even by the most uptight standards......Johnson Herp

They have really kept light colors for their size and age.
