North Brazilian Boa constrictor
After the mother of all flus was combined with the beginning of a new and incredibly busy semester, I finally had a chance to take a few new pics today. These are of an adult North Brazilian male Boa constrictor. He has a fantastic contrast and beautiful facial coloration. He is quite the character too.

Re: North Brazilian Boa constrictor
Gorgeous boy! I've always thought the dark constrictors looked better than the dark imperators.

Handsome looking, muscle bound rodent killer. Terrific specimen.

His temperament is actually quite good--the reason why I say that he is a character is because he has a tendency toward doing ridiculous things. When I first acquired him, I met up with the guy locally. He had transported him in a large plastic container that had snap locks and was also taped. However, while he was making a pit stop prior to the meeting, this boa apparently pushed his way out of the container (he is large for a male, and thus quite strong), and subsequently lodged himself in one of the worst places that were available to him--the inside of the truck's dash. This ended up requiring a trip to the local stealership in order to be able to retrieve the snake. It is impressive how a large boa of that size was able to squeeze its way into the interior of the dash.

Re: North Brazilian Boa constrictor
Love the dark look, is he going to grow into a big boy?

Definitely sounds like a character! But I just meant he was so large and muscular, I don't wanna imagine him angry...

He is already quite large for a male. I've never measured him, but I'd estimate him to be around 7-8 ft.

Re: North Brazilian Boa constrictor
Lovely snake - any chance of some close ups of the face some time? Looks a beauty...

Definitely at some point. He was a bit too squirrely for a head shot during this session, but hopefully I'll be able to get him to settle down a bit next time.

Re: North Brazilian Boa constrictor
This is one of my younger North Brazilian females. Zoo-bred and almost white. Who needs morphs when nature can produce this level of beauty?

Re: North Brazilian Boa constrictor
This picture of my large adult female is already a bit older, but it shows her coloration and pattern rather nicely. She is a Lemke line North Brazilian female that I'm hoping to pair up with the dark male listed above later this year.
