Our salmon boa

Thought I'd take some pictures of our male salmon boa.

We got him from Simon a while back (Thanx Simon - one of the good guys to deal with!!!), and he is now close to 6' long. He's been off feed since he saw his first female a while back, but he keeps growing longer, so he looks a bit slim right now, in these pictures, which he is.

I took one in the shade, and one in the sun.

Hope you enjoy - hopefully he makes some nice babies for next year! I like his bowties and his stripy tail (and his light colour for a 6' snake!!!)

You know Ryan....
I have been waiting to see how this guy is doing for a LONG time...
I am glad that he is doing well for you~ What about the female? How is she doing~!!

Thanks for posting pics on this guy. I love this guy to death and I almost wanted to kill myself after sending you that pair~~~

Hope that they'll be producing some nice looking babies for you next year~~~!!

It is not just a hypo, it is a salmon - big difference, just try to buy one.

But thanks anyways

Simon, I made this post for you to show you what a killer snake it turned out to be - thank you very much!!! The female is not with us right now, she is with a friend.

The female was a 50% het albino, not a salmon. I had meant to say that in the above post so no rumours got started, lol. She's in an albino project with a friend.

We've got 2 very nice female commons to offer to the salmon male, I can't wait till we get some babies from that - they should be exceptional!

He's awesome Ryan I love salmons. My girl should be arriving in the next couple weeks, but I have to wait until next year for a male unless someone has one kicking around they want to unload... How old is he Ryan?

Thanx
Nick

To be honest this is the only pair of snakes that I really really regret in selling. But I am soooooooooo glad that they're in good hands. And I thank you very much for posting pictures of him. I always thought that he was a beauty~

Just wondering...can I save those pictures onto my computer? I really miss this guy...can you tell....LOL~
