Here ya go, Nick! Jamaicans!
LOL funny you should ask around this time... I was looking for their age and came upon the finding that they are turning 4 years old tomorrow!
LOL... well these guys are definitely in no hurry to get big  I included a pic with my phone for size comparison. These guys have never missed a meal in their lives

Their heads are so cool... the scaling reminds me more of a scrub than a boa...

Wow! I really am starting to LOVE Jamaicans (  )... the eyes are super neat, they remind me of a retic's orange eyes. Epicrates are just too cool! Lucky you Linds!

Those are so awesome!!! I can never get enough of those I had a chance to get a pair not too long ago and I passed cause I'm an idiot. I really like the Hatians too. Thanx for posting the pics, you should do so more often
What are you using for a substrate? Carefresh?

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
Matt,
LOL you know you'll be the first to know I'm not even looking forward to that... as I understand it Simon's female tries to frequently eat his male when he puts them together. Prying a milk off a milk is one thing, but prying a beefy 7' boa is a whole different story
Nick,
LOL... I feel like a picturewhore with all these pics I've been posting recently Between all those baby pics and then the requests from you and Matt for Jamaicans and Bci shots... egadz  Yup, that's carefesh. Most of whatever is kept in a sweaterbox or smaller gets it I love it.

Great pics, they are gorgeous! It's so hard to imagine them being 7', they never seem to grow... Have you ever caught your jamaicans luring? We sure know when ours get hungry.
Keep the pics coming.

How much do these snakes typically sell for and where or from whom in Canada can one purchase a few?

LOL I've never see mine lure, that must be quite the sight! My female is almost always head tucked up in her perch, and the male is always just curled up or cruising.
Tim,
I purchased mine for $650 or $750, can't remember which though, it's been a while. There isn't really a market, since they are so rarely offered for sale. As far as I know, the only person in Canada with breedable adults is Simon Samson. The only time I've seen them offered for sale is a super occassional private sale of Simon's stock. As far as I know, mine were the last litter produced to date.

Wow, those are stunning boas, they look so much like pythons I'll have to keep them in mind as a future project,
