Traded an old couch for this beauty! I'm thinking it's a Hypo but want verification. Not very knowledgabe on boa morphs. She was dehydrated and has a very minor RI. F10 and some tlc she'll turn around. The previous owner said she only ate once a month ( he told me she ate 7 days prior.) but she ate 3 days after aquiring her without hesitation.
Any ways here she is.

It's hard to verify morph from this photo, can you get some photos of it in natural light?

How is she, and how big? Depending on how old she is, and what she's eating, feeding her every 2-3 weeks should be a good place to start feeding her. I don't start 3 weeks until they're at least 2 years old, and they're usually on weaned or small rats at that time. If she's still on mice, or small enough to be on mice, every 2 weeks should suffice.

I would have given her more time to settle in, though, especially if she has an RI. Just make sure not to feed her for another 2 weeks, and keep stressors to a minimum until she settles in and/or until her RI is treated.

I agree with waiting longer on the feedings. It was curiosity that got the best of me. I'll try and get photos of her in the sun tomorrow. I doubt it will change, this photo actually is spot on for color. took a few shots but got it. I feed my Suriname every 14 days. The pythons are weekly.
If the previous owner is correct she is a 2016 and is only 18" long.

Here is another pic of her in the sun. The oranges popped a little.

That photo is really tiny and grainy, unfortunately it's not good for identifying either. :/ Though it would be hard to say without a quality photo in natural light, I'm thinking she may just be an aberrant individual. Her saddles look hypo-ish, but her colors are way off and her tail isn't quite right for a hypo, as far as I can tell from the photos provided.

Doesn't appear to be a hypo. Clearer, closer, larger pics are needed.

I'm trying to figure out the photo size requirements. If I use high quality imaging and resize it gets grainy. Any tips?

Create an IMGUR account and then when you look at the images it will give you a "direct link" URL...put that URL between IMG tags and you can post the image full size. The site will scale it down but provide a method to see it full size.

Well, we can get to the pics, but you will be limited to the number of URLs you can post the way you did below.

You need to do the following:


<cut and paste the urls you put below in between the "img" tags>

has to precede the URL...and has to be at the end of the URL!

But since I did it for you below
