That's one frickin' monstrous sized Boiga. My only concern is the noticeable areas of skin between the scales which might point towards an overweight snake...but still one very impressive animal nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.

>>Rear-Fanged is dead so I thought I'd share these here! He's been working the ladies and his cage was totally trashed so I had to get him out for a deep cleaning. He was actually sorta'"nice" as he's usually pretty irascible! I'm 6'2' to give y'all some perspective. He weighs 9# or thereabouts and it was a chore to hold him up for these pics.
