he's beautiful! I've heard that male boas usually grow to around 4ft in a year, so maybe he's 2 or 3 years old?

WOW!!!! The colors on that thing are GREAT! That's one of the nicer common boas I've seen. What I find really neat is how the side markings and the back pattern line up with each other perfectly - you more commonly see these offset with each other.

He looks great, love his colour! :D Congrats on the new addition....
Thanks everyone.... He really is a cool snake, I don't think he was being taken care of very well with his previous owner though... like I said earlier he was pretty dehydrated and is coat is a little ruff now... no scares or anything just allot of beat up scales and dry skin.... poor little guy, I can't wait to get him back into shape. I tried feeding him this weekend with no luck, tried to get a hold of the guy I bought him from to see what he's been feeding him and how, but no luck there either.... (I wanted to bitch him out for the way he shipped him too... A$$HOLE!!!) Guess I'll just try again next week. He's look'in better already though... gave him a couple of warm soak baths and been spraying him down so he could drink... thankfully he's starting to get his shine back and is looking better and better everyday... a coulpe meals and a shed or 2 and he should be as good as new.... I'll try and put up some better pictures when he's in a little better shape.
Wow a real beautie....nice colours
thanks... he is awsome.... loves to just hang out on my coffee table and watch what's going on outside thru my patio doors..... Hoping to find him a girlfriend pretty soon :)

I agree with Invictus. It is one of the nicest common boas I have seen as well.

WOW!!! What a beautiful snake. I got myself a Boa a few months ago & I just love him. When I got mine, he was a year old & a little under 4ft. Might be an indication on the age of your Boa. How do you try him with food? Mines a very shy eater & has to be fed in his viv & left alone. Could be a minute, could be hours before he decides when he's ready to eat. I've even left his prey all night & went to him the next morning, food still there, had a coffee, went to remove the rat & it was making a bulge inhis belly. Funny eaters sometimes. Keep up the good work with him.
Just one thing, Those markings look to good to be true, I think you should ship him to me. :)
spyderman: yeah, I've just labled him as being 2 years old from this point on. When I tried feeding him I just tossed in a freshly killed rat as I usually do with everyone else..... I've been wondering if he's just used to eating live and that's why he wasn't interested. Im going to try again this weekend but at night and leave it there over night... and if on Sunday I wake up and it's still there..... then Im going to try a stunted rat and toss it in while it's still twitching...... if that doesn't work then well, I guess I'll just wait till he starts eye balling ME like a food item... LOL J/K.
Thanks for the compliments everyone....... I wish I had a cam so I could take pictures of my female cuzz if you like this guy you'll love her... she's very very clean, no speckling at all and has borderline hypo coloring and she's got one of the prettiest faces I've seen anywhere on a snake.... My girlfriend even thinks she's pretty and she hates snakes!!! Well, maybe with my xmass bonus I can buy a digital.... but then again, I do have a couple more snakes I would rather get before that....... decisions decisions...
