Guyanese Boa constrictor

[Nightflight99]

This is one of my Guyanese males. He was originally imported directly from Guyana, and features a very clean pattern, a deep red tail, and tons of pink. Some of the other specimens that are part of my Guyanese Boa constrictor group have very large widows peaks, but I really like this specimen for the incredible amount of pink that it contains.

I really love his tail <3 Great snake!

Now that is a stunning snake. Love the BCC's but get a little too big for me to get passed the wife (for now! :))

You really do have some beautiful snakes...

Thanks guys! I have a pretty sizable group of locality Boa constrictor, so I'll post up a few more pics before the holidays are over. :)

[dannybgoode]

Please do. Particularly as yours as pleasingly morph free!!

Here is another one of my Guyanese males to start with. He was produced from wild-caught parents, so he is pure pure Guyanese. I really enjoy the connected saddles and his deep red tail. He is just a yearling, so it is going to be interesting to see how his colors are going to develop over time.

Stunning specimens! Love true redtailed boa constrictors, the pink on the first one is really something!

Oooh I like that second male, I've got a weak spot for abby-patterned BCC, especially if they've got a bright tail to match!

@bigsnakegirl785: I'll have to show you some pics of one of my Suriname males, who also shows some of this trait. I think you might like him. :)

And this is one of my Guyanese females. This one was produced by Mike Eckert.

This is another male from the same Eckert lineage as the female above. This is the golden lineage that produces the rich, golden background coloration in mature adults.

I guess you can sign me up for one of these guys too haha. Absolutely gorgeous Guyanese.

A lot of keepers would have passed on this male when he was a neonate: He doesn't have the massive widow's peaks that people are often looking for, and his tail is a bit darker than most people prefer. The one aspect that everyone seems to overlook is background coloration, and that aspect is what makes this one of my personal favorites among the Guyanese boas in my collection. The strong rust-colored tone that is transcended by a broad, stippled dorsal stripe are just awesome. The coloration of this specimen is getting more intense with each shed, and I cannot wait to see what he is going to look like in a couple of years!

Those are all stunning specimens. There can't be enough said about your photography either. Keep up the amazing posts!

what beautiful, strange colored snakes. it almost looks like you are looking at 2 seperate ones because of the change in patterns.

Thank you! You might be surprised to learn that indoor photography isn't really my bag. Unfortunately it is difficult to catch the right conditions outdoors that will lend themselves to a good photo session.The lighting is usually best right after sunrise, but I usually have to leave to work prior to that. A sunny day is also subideal, because the excessive amount of light will bleach out the specimen.

This is why I'm often forced to settle on indoor photography, which is easy to recognize by the white background.

Fantastic reptiles! Congrats.

That may depend on the camera, I rather prefer the brightest mid-day sun for photographing my snakes, it's the only way I can get true colors (except my imperator Cloud, it makes him look yellower than he is - he's a silverish brown). lol

I haven't done many sunny day photos with the Nikon, though, since we got it in the middle of winter, but the couple I did take came out fairly well.

I find it gets too cold once the sun starts setting or as it's rising to do photographs, too, so I'm limited to late morning to mid afternoon.

Your booth photos still are stunning, though. :P The snakes really speak for themselves!
