Thanks for the pictures, beautiful Boa, nice big rock you have there to take pictures of your snake on, wish I had a rock like that!

[KSTAR]

THANKS Sidewaysat...And Yes The Rock Is Great But Lucian Is Almost The Same Color So It Was Hard To Catch His Color He/She Got Some Nice Pink That Wasn't So Visible Either

[Jack C]

They are great shots of a great looking boa.

[Squirtle]

Damn that boa's hot. Do they keep their color as they get older?

[MoreliAddict]

Nice boa!http://www.lilwaynehq.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbs.gif

Gorgeous snake. Is it a BCC

[alessia55]

Congratulations! Lucian is gorgeous! A great addition :yes:

[Jay]

Nice little Colombian you have.
@squrtil, no it will darken as it ages
@Alessia, no it apears to be a bci Colombian.

[KSTAR]

THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT COMPLIMENTS GUYS & GALS OF THE SSNAKESS FAMILY AND I thought it was a BCC....?? Hmmm So It's A BCI?

[Jay]

The saddles are rounded and not pointed, the tail is the wrong color. The bloodlines are soo diluted nowadays. To me it looks like a bci Colombian.

[snake man12]

To me it has characteristics of both of them

[Jay]

To me it has characteristics of both of them

That tail color is the real deal breaker though. The thin saddles can represent a bcc, but they're not pointed, they're rounded.

[snake man12]

Yeah I have noticed with the BCC's have a very deep red tail. Maybe you should contact the breeder kstar

[Jay]

I wouldn't worry about it, it's your pet and unless your breeding it doesn't matter. (unless you paid for a bcc)

[KSTAR]

Nah It Doesn't Matter To Me....

[bigsnakegirl785]

Very beautiful snake! How big is Lucian?

[KSTAR]

He's about A Foot If Not Just A Bit Over A Foot He Peeped Out The 2nd of this Month So He's Going On A Month Old As Of Next Week...

[KSTAR]

And By The Way I Was Told By The Breeder He's A BCI

[Strutter769]

Nice clean boa. I also agree it's a BCI.

[MoreliAddict]

And By The Way I Was Told By The Breeder He's A BCI
I Agree It's Probably A Bci. Congrats Again ;)

[KSTAR]

Thanks for all the great comments guys/gals

[bigsnakegirl785]

I think my boa's growing slowly, she's over 10 months old and 2 ft 3 in (just measured her yesterday).

[KSTAR]

Ok that does sound a bit slow...but maybe it's just growing slow and before you know it it'll hit a growth spurt and get huge or maybe it's just a slow grower...it could also be the bloodline...maybe the parents were small OR maybe you need to feed it some bigger meals like rat pups...what is your baby eating now?

[bigsnakegirl785]

She's eating rat fuzzies, I feed her once a week. But she seems to be growing faster now, she grew 3 inches in about 3 weeks.
