Re: My new Hypo Jungle :)

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
Love her eyes, boa's truly do have such beautiful eyes

out of curiosity, how old is this boa?
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!
Haha, 6th sense is right!! I don't know how the breeder captured her pink so well:

Re: My new Hypo Jungle :)

Here's a few more:

Here's one that shows her tail pattern better:



These were taken with a phone's camera the day she arrived by FedEx (sorry for the blurry shots):

Re: My new Hypo Jungle :)

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

Re: My new Hypo Jungle :)

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?
