I have a boa and have been told its a surinam for years then I went to trade her and the buyer says it a colombian. Is there any way to know for sure with out knowing where she came from?

Smart ask, be warned... Jeff is a master of the "Dark Arts". My only advice to you is to not pi$$ him off;)

... ok, one more...after a close examination of your snake's feces, I would highly recommend sending many, many samples to my home address... :D

Ok, I'm done. Nice snake though:)

Cranwill is collecting snake crap? Figures. Manitoba and all.

Heh heh...


Smart ask, I hope you didn't get screwed by paying more for your boa, but as a Columbian, its one dynamite snake! You are veery lucky! Feed it like mad and watch it grow!

As for posting the pics, you have get the actual URL of the picture before you push the "IMG" button. The actual URL of the picture can easily be found by right clicking on it and going to "properties". In there should be the name of the picture as recognized by all the computers surfing the Net. Insert name and voila Columbians for everyone to enjoy!!

Cheers man. :D

Ok, I guess nobody got my obscure bit of sarcasm... I was referring to he cash beside the snake's tail as the snake's defecation. Therefore, the snake would be a money making machine and I would gladly collect the stool samples. See, it IS funny after all...;)

I guess my sense of humor really is warped....cool:P

Didn't get hurt in the trade at all ... I traded an adult male dragon for it. When the gentleman sent me blurry pics of the "surinam" it looked sort of hookie but I wanted a second opinion. The guy later was determined to be a crook. I was one of the lucky few to get anything but I had more personal information on him than most. Thank you all for your help. Looking more and more like I might stick to colubrids .... lol
By the way all you'll boa people are CRAZY ... lol ... but nice.

Hi smart_ask,

I would have to say that your boa is a BCI and not a Suriname.
It is a nice looking BCI. If there is one thing I know it is boas.

Some people say I even look like one. LOL
