Baby Jamaicans :D

On stage number one is Slowpoke. '01 female...

She is almost strictly arboreal, only comes down pretty much because that's where I leave her food :p

Think someone thinks they are a ball python..lol! She ALWAYS has her head hiding... if you coax her head out of her coils its only for her to go hide it in another part of her :p :rolleyes:

Took forever, but I managed to capture a pic of her head :p

Now on stage number two is her no name '01 little boy :o

Complete opposite... this little monster bites at everything, even himself! The lighting isn't good enough for closeups in his area so I had to prop a big flashlight on the other end...lol...makes him look like he's in a dream for some reason :p

Slow growing no doubt! He's actually the larger of the two (which almost makes me wonder if the sexes weren't switched up?) 2 years old...

They are awesome Linds, I especially like the male. If you ever want to sell them or that female BCI from matt or that Guyan you know who to ask ;)

[albinoman]

I love those sub flavus,

[PoiSoNouS]

aww they are adorable :)

[Linds]

Thanks for all the compliments! :D

[Invictus]

Damn you.

[Simon Sansom]

Lindsay,
Would it be possible for you to get relatively accurate current lengths and weights for both of them? I know it's not easy, but if you could do so, I'd appreciate it. If not, no big deal.
I am very curious as to their actual growth rate. There is not a heck of a lot of information generally available about the species, and I like to know everything I can about 'em.

Thank you very much.

Simon

[Linds]

Simon,
I can definitely get you the weights on them...lol... I'll try for the lengths as well but can't promise anything :o

[Sean_.E.]

Very nice linds. Sweet tat awsell!

[Linds]

Sean,
Thanks! :)

Simon,
I just weighed the little monsters and they tipped the scales at 122 grams for the male, and 90 grams for the female (my scale is accurate to the gram). I don't keep frequent weight charts on anyone anymore, but I do occassionally weigh someone here or there out of curiosity. If it helps any, March '02 my male weighed 14 grams and the female weighed 13 grams :) I can't find my tape measure so there wasn't even attempt at getting any lengths tonight :confused:

[Stockwell]

Ok so we have subflavs, innornatus, and striatus

So, who's working Cuban Boas...?? I know there must be some around as I saw some in the pet trade a few years back.
I saw some adult Angulifer at Basil zoo in West Germany a few years back...they were spectacular
but pretty big too...Bigger than Haitians and Jamaicans.. around 8 foot or more
i've heard they can be pretty nasty but I've never known anyone keeping them
I wouldn't mind a pair of babies to raise up..
Anyone know who's got these in the great white north?:)

[Simon Sansom]

Thank you, Lindsay - I'm going to write that down right now. It's nice to have some frame of reference. I wonder how big the '99 ones are? I don't know anyone who has any from that litter.

Yes Roy, I think you're right. I'm sure that there are some E. angulifer up here. I've seen them mentioned by someone, but I cannot remember whom or where. Damn this memory of mine!!
They seem to be another traditionally "aggressive" specie. For example, in Carl Kauffeld's classic '69 book, "SNAKES: The Keeper And The Kept", he calls the snake "the Cuban Boa or Maja" and makes mention of the fact that the native Cuban people have a saying, "muy maja" to describe an irritable person.
Like most snakes, I'll bet that captive-bred babies would eventually calm down or at least become more tractable over time.

GEORGEOUS snakes Linds!!!! I love that last pic, looks like she's playing peek-a-boo :)..lol

Gotta get me a pair of them ;)

[Linds]

LOL yeah I actually had a thread titled Peekaboo with about 5 or so pics. She ends up with poses like that pretty much all the time, she's so shy. She always hides then eventually gets curious enough to peak out. She's a funny lil girl :p
