My new Hypo Jungle :)

[KrazyKat]

Just thought I would share some pics I took tonight of my new little hypo jungle girl. It's very hard to capture her pink tones accurately, the photos just don't do her justice - but I am also still trying to figure out the camera settings, so yeah :o So here are the first few of many:

it's the 17th and 18th : Canadian Reptile Breeder's Expo (http://www.reptilebreedersexpo.ca/) "Canada's first National reptile breeder expo and conference" I'll be there both days all day, so maybe I might get to meet you iin person? :)...I will probably be bringing home another irresistable little "friend" or two...depending on my self control :p

[Freebody]

I wish :P but unfortunatly i wont be going, they would have so many snakes i cant buy here, i would certainly be coming home with a new friend or two, but it would not take me 2 days to do it lol

Aww darn! :( Well...I hear ya, I'm really going to have to try and control myself, that's for sure! :P

[Freebody]

[ladyjustice33]

Very nice jungle mate.... maybe you need another jungle of the black and yellow variety hehe.

[N1T24M]

awesome jungle. love the colors on that one. pink hues are close to impossible to pick up in photograph, but i can kinda tell that they're there. i guess it becomes a 6th sense to decipher boas true colors through digital imaging.
out of curiosity, how old is this boa?

[Kayla90]

Ahhhhhh she is so freaking adorable!! I love her.
I most definitely can't wait till I get to see her in person and hold her :D
Love her eyes, boa's truly do have such beautiful eyes

[Gungirl]

Congrats on the new little snakey. Beautiful!!

heehee thanks! I HAVE been considering carpets lately, actually...jungles and jags are definitely gorgeous IMO...darn, must..not..give in...to cravings!! :P

She is about 11 months old, and way smaller than she should be. My male who is about 4 months younger than her is noticeably larger. But she is a voracious eater, and I can guarantee she will catch up in size under my care! :p
Haha, 6th sense is right!! I don't know how the breeder captured her pink so well:

Oh, and I should add - after feeding her a rat pup (which she gobbled up like a pro), her poop doubled in size...I am pretty sure she was being underfed, at least in terms of the prey item size :(

[Will0W783]

Congrats! She is a gorgeous hypo- I love the real bright pinks. :)

Aww thanks Kim! :)

its hard to say on the whole size thing. i have 2 '06 females from the same litter, one is 6' 12lbs the other is 8' and 17lbs, but theyve been on the same feeding regimen for 5 years now.
that jungle is going to display some sweet adult colors, can't wait.

I can’t wait to see how she turns out as an adult too - and thank you! :) I will be sure to provide updated pics as she grows.

With regards to the difference in growth rates from snake to snake, I have heard this is common, so maybe I shouldn’t worry about it. I did get her from a reputable breeder, so I really shouldn’t doubt that she was being fed enough, she’s probably just been a slow grower. Do you have pics of your snakes in the forum somewhere? :)

Congrats! Gorgeous, Gorgeous and let me just say Gorgeous snake.

I know the feeling, I'm trying to build up my will power now....going to an expo in Lafayette on 9/10 and then Repticon in October. Lord, please give me the self discipline to not come home with anymore pets right now!!!! We'll see if that works or not, lol !!! :)
