Is she a normal size for her age?

Hey, I was wondering if Magenta looks a good size for her age. I think she might have a smaller/dwarf type of boa in her like you guys said! Anyways here's a pic of her on a HP book like I posted yesterday..

She's a month old:

And here's a pic of her on my pinky, keep in mind I have huge ugly bear hands (bigger version of my avatar):

I just wanna make sure she's healthy.

That's exactly where she should be. But Id love more pics she does not look full bci to me

:O it'd be great if you could tell me what exactly she is. Someone said she might have Nicaraguan (I think that means dwarf?) in her.

More pics (excuse my hairy PJs):

I don't know much about the different BCI localities, but she's absolutely gorgeous whatever she is!

Aw, thank you

I think so too!

P.S. anyone who might be able to tell me, the second set of pics are from a few weeks ago. She's a lil bigger now.

She's beautiful!!' When did you get her? I've been m.i.a for a bit xD

How old is she?

IMO a nic even that young would be a lot darker.

She is very pretty though =]

She's about a month and a half now xD She is very light isn't she? I'm guestimating that she's about 21 inches.

And Angie I got her on May 18th

As long as you keep a steady feeding schedule and offer the right size prey she should grow pretty quickly, anyways 21 inches is a fairly normal size for a boa that age.

I was one of the people to suggest that she was a dwarf. From looking at these pictures I will take that back.

We can't know for sure since we don't know what her parents were, but she does look Colombian with a hint of another bci locality. I can't put my finger on it. But from the pure Colombian bci I have seen, they tend to have cleaner and more defined saddles and much brighter grey colorings

True that. I wish I could ask whoever originally had her. This will forever frustrate me xD I don't actually care that much but she'll always be a mystery.

And yes her saddles are quite light. However, like a lot of BCIs, they tend to get darker sometimes. Like, sometimes they look really light and sometimes they look black.

Exactly why I thought of the darker colored BCI of central America

No matte what she is she seems like a good snake and I think u will have a fun time taking care of her.

Congratularions! your girl looks wondeful! I have one very similar, and is Costarican. My girl was grey, as yours, but changed into light brown with the time. And about your question, she looks ok for its edge.

She looks almost identical to a Nicaraguan I had (nasty bugger).
