Looking for a female bcc

[BrentB]

Im looking for a Female 5.5'-6.5' Guyanan Redtail Boa to breed with my Male. Ive been looking hard, havent found a ton, but if anyone have one id like to see please, no guarantees i'll buy it if you show me of course, but im serious about getting one.

can't help you with one, but just FYI a 5.5-6.5' female Guyanan is not really quite ready to breed In my oppinion. May want to look for one a little older.

Course maybe your looking for a breeder in a couple years. Just thought Id throw that out there .

If im not mistaken boas need to be around 2 years old, but 2 years they wont always start, so 3 years is a decent age or even older. But i understand maybe saying that about 5.5' so ill say INSTEAD 6'-7'

2 years old and breeding? Dang I must spoil mine. I was always under the ussumption they should wait until they are around 4 years! I guess as long as they are big enough and healthy age isnt as important as size right. Well I dont personally know of any, try the reptile classified websites, something is bound to be there to your liking!

bcc should be around 4 at least before breeding. Many boids do. Some can get away with breeding at 3 years of age if they are the right size WITHOUT powerfeeding.

Ditto that. Animals of this subspecies take significantly longer to mature than the more common Boa constrictor imperator. Pushing a Guyana female to breed before she is a good 4-5 years old (if not older) could potentially imperil the lives of both mother & offspring should she become gravid.

This is why lovely, CBB true redtails tend to be a bit more spendy - they are a labor of love & take a lot of patience!

Just my $.02
