WOW! I was hoping someone in Canada would be working with these! She's awesome! When do you expect to produce little ones?

Invictus.. dozens of them have been produced in Ontario, over the last decade... this is the late Tom Huff's bloodline originating from the now defunct Reptile Breeding foundation in Picton.

Roy is correct. I think that Huff's original ones were actually driven up here from Florida to Canada by Louis Porras' right-hand-man, in the 70's.
I don't know what happened to all of the "geriatrics" as we used to call them from the RBF and Centre for Endangered Reptiles, lol! Some of these snakes were getting pretty "long-in-the-tooth", and there was a group of Huff's ones at Windsor Reptile World before it closed down. I assume that they've mostly passed on by now...??
It's really an honour to have this blood-line in my collection - a little piece of Canadian herpetocultural history.
At one time, there was a serious breeding program going here in Canada, with the idea of eventually being able to re-patriate and release the captive-bred offspring back on Jamaica, but from what I've heard the Jamaican government wouldn't have anything to do with it, sayig that they would not want any large snakes on the island to scare off the tourists. What a horrible shame that an animal can't even get a fair shake in it's native land.
Invictus; By my reckoning, my pair could very well be the only reproductively active pair around at the moment. I have not heard of anyone else producing any in a few years.
I should have some babies in '04, as my female's had a couple of years to rest up, and she's bigger and more beautiful than ever.
Cheers,
Simon

Here's something that you don't see every day - legal baby Jamaican Boas!...
This less-than-perfect pic represents part of a litter of 31 perfect babies and several "slugs".
The youngsters remind me very much of young Tree Boas (Corallus), with big heads, huge orange eyes, and long, slender bodies.
Thanks for looking
Simon

Simon,
She looks great I forget where I read it, but I believe that they did put forth a replacement program on the island itself and were doing ok with it? LOL they do remind me of little tree boas, my male even has more attitude than one  Female is still almost strictly arboreal, only coming down for food

Put me on the list as well! Depending on cost of course. How much will you be asking per pair Mr. Sansom?

Hi Simon. About eight months back there was someone advertising a pair on that other site. Definately a rare find. You obviously have my dream collection. But you probably already knew that! TB
