New here, what kind of boa is she?
My husband and I have owned redtails, ball pythons and burms before but that was ten or so years ago. We picked up this beautiful girl yesterday and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of redtail she was specifically? It doesn't really matter but I'd love to know.

She is an albino (or some type of albino) boa constrictor imperator. More then likely a columbian boa.

Re: New here, what kind of boa is she?
Thank you for the opinions. We got her from a friend who's landlord found out about her. All I know is that the parents are an albino and a sunglow. I don't know much about the morphs and such, my husband and I just had them to have them. I just wanted to make sure that she didn't have any specific needs that needed to be met.

Yes, she has specific needs.
No towels as substrate.
A reptile specific enclosure would be more ideal than the aquarium.

just curious, i probably wouldn't use them, but what harmful effects can come with using a towel?

It's gross.
It doesn't hold humidity.
Snakes have swallowed towels.
Also what she said... ^^^^^

Just curious what cues you used for this?
I was going to say sunglow but can't see how you would tell kahl from sharp. I had to call the breeder in Arizona to find out my girl is a sharp sunglow.
Please explain as I would honestly like to know.

Don't Sharp's usually retain more color than the Kahl line?
