Lindsay,
Would it be possible for you to get relatively accurate current lengths and weights for both of them? I know it's not easy, but if you could do so, I'd appreciate it. If not, no big deal.
I am very curious as to their actual growth rate. There is not a heck of a lot of information generally available about the species, and I like to know everything I can about 'em.
Thank you very much.
Simon

Sean,
Thanks!
Simon,
I just weighed the little monsters and they tipped the scales at 122 grams for the male, and 90 grams for the female (my scale is accurate to the gram). I don't keep frequent weight charts on anyone anymore, but I do occassionally weigh someone here or there out of curiosity. If it helps any, March '02 my male weighed 14 grams and the female weighed 13 grams I can't find my tape measure so there wasn't even attempt at getting any lengths tonight

Ok so we have subflavs, innornatus, and striatus
So, who's working Cuban Boas...?? I know there must be some around as I saw some in the pet trade a few years back.
I saw some adult Angulifer at Basil zoo in West Germany a few years back...they were spectacular
but pretty big too...Bigger than Haitians and Jamaicans.. around 8 foot or more
i've heard they can be pretty nasty but I've never known anyone keeping them
I wouldn't mind a pair of babies to raise up..
Anyone know who's got these in the great white north?

Thank you, Lindsay - I'm going to write that down right now. It's nice to have some frame of reference. I wonder how big the '99 ones are? I don't know anyone who has any from that litter.
Yes Roy, I think you're right. I'm sure that there are some E. angulifer up here. I've seen them mentioned by someone, but I cannot remember whom or where. Damn this memory of mine!!
They seem to be another traditionally "aggressive" specie. For example, in Carl Kauffeld's classic '69 book, "SNAKES: The Keeper And The Kept", he calls the snake "the Cuban Boa or Maja" and makes mention of the fact that the native Cuban people have a saying, "muy maja" to describe an irritable person.
Like most snakes, I'll bet that captive-bred babies would eventually calm down or at least become more tractable over time.
Simon
