My pair of Boas

[Feebo]

I`ll admit it, I have a proper Boa fetish ! lol Of all my snakes, I just seem to have a special attachment to my Boas, Huey and Chinook.
Here they are, a female common and a male dwarf, both are at about the five and a half feet mark....

This is the females tail, she was showing it off one morning so I had to grab my camera....

That last picture is very cool.

Those are handsome animals.

Thanks :) It`s a bit of an art holding two moderatly sized snakes at the same time ! lol :) I love my Boas....

Infernalis is right the last pic verrrry cool. You got two nice looking boas which is the dwarf the lighter one or darker one?

[Feebo]

The lighter one on the left in the second picture, he`s got a lot of green in him in the right light, very pretty. We`ll see where his length tops out......

They both seem to quite like resting thier heads on this rock, I doubt it`s warm enough that they`re using it as a heat source, it must just be comfortable lol I did wonder if putting a bit of thick slate in there might be a good idea actually but I`m not sure how much it might heat up so I`d have to do some testing before I did that, I might do that at some point.. It`s not excatly like those horrible hot rocks is it? Anyway, here are the pictures, best three out of twenty. I know it`s just the same picture three times basically but I like them so I thought I`d post them all :)

Could anyone comment on the growth rate of these guys? I know they slow down once they reach six feet but at what age would you be looking at a really quite chunky snake? I feed large rats every fourteen days, they may get a little extra now and then when they`re bigger but I don`t intend to feed them rabbits or anything, I think that`s overkill for Boas.....

[Feebo]

I like to photograph them whenever they`re having a bit of a pose, I might as well keep chucking the pictures in this thread I think... :)
