Baby Blood Boa

[boa_mania]

Heres a Pic of one of the four hypererythristic(way too much red pigment) we have. Boa's such as this one are sometimes refered to as Blood Boa's. The colors are its true colors and it is getting redder each passing day. I can't wait till see how this one matures.

very nice...did u buy these or are they something u did?

[boa_mania]

thanx you guys, yeah grant, they came from Ben Seagals boa farm in Nicaragua, you dont see too many babies popping up like these ones, thats why i paid a hefty price for them. I think these were the only four that came out this year. But that what yeah get when you mass produce boa's, in the past 3 years 6 albino T-positives were produced at the farm, can you imagine a carmel boa!!! better yet, breed it into a regular albino and create a butter boa, just wait grant, the boa morphs are gonna be as diverse as the corn snakes, I like to be one of the people who create something new and beautiful in the boa world since they are my favorite of all snakes!!

I lucked out with these boa's, I think there are less then 20 true blood boa's in the world right now, so because i got 4, yeah definately, I really lucked out.

Buuurn baby buuurn!!! WOW! You are a very lucky guy! This is a beauty! Don't you sleep every night before you check that your red baby is doing fine. Small food quantities. Don't rush it to grow up soon to breed it. Although i can imagine how you feel about her future, take your time with this rare red beauty

[PoiSoNouS]

the red one.. wow.. awesome.. !!
:thumbsup:

[boa_mania]

Thanx again eveyone for the beautiful comments!!

reptilesalonica: yeah I am always checking on the red ones, but then again, I spend a few hours each day playing with all of the boa's in my personal collection, well except a few huge long term captive guyana's, a little too nasty!! but the rest of the collection, I like to pick each one up for at least a few minutes to admire them, I luv boa's. I just dont pick them up for 4 days after they eat. and the ones that i am preparing to breed are only moved during cleaning. but are handled as little as possible. And as for power feeding, i never power feed none of my boa's, i feed them once per wekk for a few weeks then a go bi-weekly for a few weeks and then back to weekly, and so forth.
none of my boa's have small head syndrom as seen in so many other collections. I am in no rush to make morphs, I am not in this for the all mighty dollar, I keep boa's because I luv boa's, i want to create different morphs so that I may have them myself. and if I can make some money to help me to continue to keep and collect boa's then so be it. The more money i can make the more Boa's i can buy, and the more boa's I can buy then the smaller my wish list gets. like boa c. saboga or boa c. ortonii or boa c. orophias, *singing* "someday over a rainbow! "

reptlesalonica, have you ever read the info i have in my boa index on the different local boas i keep, heres a link,

Very good quality of your site! I wish my friend i were there (US) so i could obtain the black belly Boa! I am a Boa fanatic too! I never saw the elegance of Boas in other snakes. Constrictors and Balls are my big love.

I think a blood x anery would look just like an anery. The blood boas are just more red, correct? Are you trying to make a reference to the pewter corns which are anery and blood red? The blood red gene in corns is quite strange, it really should not be called blood red, but rather the fading gene, as what occurs is that the background colour increases and the blotches fade away. You can have blood red butters and blood red snows. Colour doesn't really have anything to do with it.

Do the blood boas exhibit this sort of pattern fading or are they just red?
