New Peruvian long tail

[richardhind]

Hi there
I picked up my new little guy today he is a boa constrictor longicauda,his parent are both German imports from seperate litters I've got his certificate and a copy of there's
When I got him first out he showed no sign of aggression and was nice an inquisitive even after getting him home he was fine no hissing, I snapped a couple of pics before settling him in, not sure of a name yet
He weighed 179g so not bad saying he is one in April

Looks a super little guy. How about Paddington, because he came from Peru as well.

Looks great man, I think I've said this before but these are by far my favorite boas, your enclosure looks pretty cool too (from what I can see haha) :)

[bigsnakegirl785]

Nice addition! Can't wait to see this one as an adult, they got the absolute best color changes of all the boa constrictors. :D

[richardhind]

Thanks guys,I'm really pleased with him ,fingers crossed he stays nice and chilled
Ha ha martin,think he was from the light side of Peru and not the dark side,lol

Beautiful boa Richard congratulations on your new pick up

[richardhind]

Thanks Dave,was really surprised how black is he is against the grey and white on him, think he will only get darker with age

[Andy_G]

Very nice. Another great addition to your wonderful collection of boas. :)

[richardhind]

Thanks Andy,you don't see them available very often so I had to snap
Him up

What a lovely looking snake! Do you plan on breeding him later on?

[richardhind]

thanks,fingers crossed if i find a decent Peruvian female i might

[richardhind]

Just had my new little guy out again and he's so far really tame and inquisitive I've fed him today and straight away struck and coiled and ate
It nicely,I think it's always great wait of your shoulders when they have there first meal with you,I feel it's like they have settled in nicely with you

[richardhind]

Managed to a get a pic while he was on his shelf,you can see the iridescence on him

[MartinD]

That is one beautiful snake. How are your shelves attached?, are they screwed from the outside?

[richardhind]

Thanks martin,no there's screwed on the inside there's ivy to the front of it so he's quite hidden up there

[richardhind]

Little "Etso "starting to shed,his little black cheeks are wicked

[MartinD]

Beautiful, can't wait to see pictures after his shed

[richardhind]

Thanks martin
I'll try get some and post them

[richardhind]

An updated pic now little Etso has shed he's so much darker than the female

[dave himself]

He's a beauty Richard ;)

[richardhind]

thanks dave im really pleased with him

[bigsnakegirl785]

Coming along nicely! It's always so hard to believe the changes these guys go through. And it's only going to get better!

[richardhind]

Thanks bsg
I can't wait to see how dark he's going to get as he grows up as he's so much darker than the female already
