Pair of Sonoran desert boas

[Mikoh4792]

Got this pair from Cutting Edge. Funny how they look so similar to tarahumaras(the cross marking on the head)

Left the female out for several minutes to cool down to room temperature before putting her in her enclosure, so I took a couple shots of her. I'll take some pics of the male after a week or so once he's settled.

This girl's a hypo het leopard

Awesome looking! Nice pick ups, congrats mikoh!!

[Mikoh4792]

Thanks! That's why I asked in your other thread if your boa was a sonoran. Your boa's dorsal patterning is very similar.

[thinkbig317]

I'll just be using this thread to save progress on my boas' ontogenesis as they age. I think the super hypos are supposed to turn out like hog island boas when they grow up.


Took some pics of the super hypo male today while cleaning enclosures

Really liking those red brown eyes

Really diggin' the male, gorgeous color! And those eyes....

Congrats on these awesome pick-ups!

[Mikoh4792]

Thanks guys.

@Hurrok they'll be very different in a few years time. That male will look almost identical to a hog island boa except for his dorsal patterning. Female should get interesting as well, which is why I am using this as a progress thread.

Should look something like this
