This is what I picked up at the New Orleans Reptile Expo from Ben Seagal


I will get some better pics this week.

Peruvian? Bolivian? regardless Very pretty. Dont bank on the stripe being genetic. But what a screamer!!!

Yeah that doesn't look like a colombian bci. Nice catch though man, update us on some pics when he/she gets bigger.

	Boa Constrictor Imperator Boa Constrictor (Boa constrictor imperator). Most common is the Colombian Boa.

It is a Guyanan BCC. There were 3 in that "litter" or "clutch" or whatever that were striped, and the stripes were almost exactly the same. I'm not sure if it is genetic or not, but hopefully I will be able to try and breed him when he gets old enough to find out.

	Boa Constrictor Constrictor Red Tail Boa Constrictor (Boa constictor constrictor). Refers to "true" red tail boas such as the Guyana and Suriname locales.

I hope you have f/t terrorists so it can eat when it gets full grown (lol) . BCC's tend to get bigger in general then BCI's. Just to give you an idea, here is a peruvian BCC

I know that BCCs get larger than BCIs, so I will be having a custom enclosure built for him once he starts growing. He is about 3 and a half weeks old and 22 inches long. Since he is a male, he *shouldn't* get as big as the one in the pic above. However, if he does, I will make sure and have adequate space. Hopefully I will be able to breed him in the future to find out if he is in fact, genetically striped.

You would be surprised =]

Don't worry, i wont let them know we are abducting terrorists from guantunamo bay to only feed them to our giant 200 lbs constrictors hehe.. * rtb.net secret *

[Shuba]

so I will be having a custom enclosure built for him once he starts growing.

btw -- Snakes like that need a good sized room rather then an enclosure. Hope you can provide man good luck =]

I will figure something out. And if it gets to the point that I cannot provide everything he needs, I will find someone who can.

Talk to ED about animals who get to big for comfort and put up for adoption. Most people see a little newborn and don't realize the circumstances behind that cute neonate. I don't mean to bash you but i think you should have done some research before purchasing a snake which you might have doubts on. I am just trying to look out for the well being of this reptile and taking care of it is a HUGE responsibility IMO.

	In My Opinon IMO = In My Opinion and IMHO = In My Honest Opinion

[MythsBishop]

I don't see it as bashing, and I will be able to provide for this animal. I might have come off as not doing my research, but I was trying to say that if the day ever came that I could not for any reason provide for all of this animal's needs, I would find help. I know that it will get large.
