I found this pic at big-snake.de and thought i could share. This boa kept a nice red tail despite growing so much. Don't you think?

jesus that's HUGE! Looks like it could wrap around that dude and sqeeeeze.....

[JimmyDavid]

And he looks like a large dude himself. Imagine that monster on the shoulders of a pencil-neck...

But what i find cool is that bright red colour . All adult boas i've seen (and never seen one close to that size) lost most of the redish colour. Not this one...

I think it's a cross between a bcc and a bci. Reasons I think that are because of the size, the color of the tail and the look of the head.

[ATBlover]

yea the tail is pretty red for its size...i noticed that too..ive never seen one like that...thanks for sharing...Connor

[varanus69]

[dave68]

WOW! nice pastelish MONSTER!

[jimbosballpytho]

Thanks Gooch.

[Mr_Gooch]

LOL, well i was talking about the first one, but pastelish monster suits your boa too! BTW, is that a male??

[jimbosballpytho]

Yes That is my biggest Male.

I didn't see a snake, I couldn't get my eyes off those big welding gloves. :)

Actually I wonder if that snakes is a crazy biter (which would suck) or if that guy is nervous around snakes (which would be awesome because he is obviously getting over it with a snake like that on his shoulders) ?

The gloves could be a good idea. All Boas i had (the ones that bite) had a weird tendency to strike at my hands. Just like Yellow anacondas. They go for the hands...

Simply being big and having a bright red tail does not make it a BCC cross. In fact, the boa in that picture looks almost identical to my big baby girl, Athena:

The pic is a little dull.. on most days, her tail is BRIGHT red. But, she's only 6'6"... :)

[jimbosballpytho]

I want her Invictus!!

[Invictus]

Hmmmm.... NO. Please know that I did give that at least 1/4 second of thought though, lol

Her offspring may be available this year... she's being put with my gargantuan freak, Zeus, as soon as he sheds:

He's been cooled, she hasn't... plus, he's damn near 2 feet bigger than her, but we'll see. They both have wicked clean patterns and nice tails, so hopefully their offspring will be worthwhile to invest in. :)

~very~nice picture ken! Good luck breeding them.

[HumphreyBoagart]

I agree with Invictus, size and colour means nothing. The head doesn't look like a that of a BCC's either. As for wearing welding gloves, that's a real good way to have a toothless snake. My 3 cents.

Hey Ken,
Awesome looking boas buddy! Man, if Emily would only let me have snakes in the house. Gotta keep working on her.
Take care man!

[HumphreyBoagart]

WHAT!?! She'll let you have those vicious geckos, but not a cute little snakey? That doesn't make any sense to me!
: )

[darkscale]

here's another pic of that snake she truly is a monsters boa

[CCGeckos]

I know Humphrey, hard to believe eh? I keep telling her snakes are much less viscious then my geckos. She's not buying it one bit;) . Oh well, I'm not going to stop bugging her. She'll eventually cave in.
Take care,

[Invictus]

haha... thanks Jason. And by all means, keep working on her. When Erin and I were together, she brought a spider into my house despite my paralyzing fear of them - now I'll free handle a calm tarantula ANY day of the week. :)
