Thanks. Seeing your bcc now makes me realize mine isnt under fed. How often do you feed yours?

Thanks. Seeing your bcc now makes me realize mine isnt under fed. How often do you feed yours?

I feed them every 10 to 14 days depending on the size of the meal, but i feed bcc a smaller sized meal then i would a common bci. I find they stay much healthier this way, and aren't as prone to regurging as they seem to be on larger food.
There is one female there that needs a little more weight on her, one of the babies, she was a problem feeder with the guy who had her, so i have her now and she is feeding well, wont be long before she catches up with the others.

awesome!! nice job with those guys!!

[KORBIN5895]

Looks Luke you made some nice pickups in the last year!

Thank you :)

I haven't actually bought hardly any animals this year, most are what i've bred, i like to breed my own if i am after a certain morph.

[KORBIN5895]

So what did you breed out?

[NBLADE]

So what did you breed out?

The snows came from double het normals, and the baby red tails came from the guyana male pictured and a female, i sold most of the babies off, but after a couple of months got the little non feeding female back. The moonglow was bought in though. The costa ricans are adults, and the sunglow came from a hypo het x albino.

I don't plan on breeding many boas this year though, going to concentrate on other projects.

at least you dont have to worry about an incubator, live bearers.:)

That is one of the reasons i actually prefer breeding pythons, boas take longer and i hate waiting lol, atleast with eggs i have the waiting for eggs, then once i have the eggs i have something to look at and a rough idea on how many babies should hatch lol.

Nice collection.. those BCC are especially beautiful.

[Mark Taylor]

Have you got any full body pics of the costa rican boas?

And yea mark, i will stick some up later tonight, got to upload them from the hard drive and get them onto a hosting site, thought i had put some more up, but i am a fan of my close up shots, so looks like i have chosen lots of macro shots of them instead lol, Will have some fully body shots showing their length later, they are only around 4ft male and 5ft female, and fully grown.

I was more interested in the colour and patterns, I just love boas think there great hard/strong and soft at the same time.
