New Here: Banana Boa

LiteraryLark · 09-03-16, 02:10 PM

Hey, I'm new to the forum and I'm going to get down to business. Any resources or information on raising, handling, and purchasing banana boas? I've had a fascination with them since I was six when one was brought to my elementary school and I am wondering if I would be compatible with a banana boa if I chose to get one. Thank you!

Not sure if you mean a banana ball python or an albino boa but there is no banana boa to my knowledge.

They exist, but they're not a morph or anything like BPs. They're a species of ground boa.

Well, going by what I read, I'm still right since they are said to be extinct now =(

But that was an interesting read. Thanks for the link!

Yes, this is what I meant. I am not familiar with specific species. I say banana boa because they are yellow, like the banana.

So, then, let me rephrase my question:

What are the resources of handling, raising, and caring for banana ball pythons and/or albino boas, and how big do they grow?
