Looking for healthy bcc (surinam/guyana)

[clapton924]

Hi,

I am looking to buy my first boa. Can I get a list of a couple breeders that sell high qualiy captive bred bcc.

I am looking for a suriname, guyana, or perhaps peruvian.

My original idea was to get a common bci...but I didnt know they lose their nice color as adults.

Thank you

Here is a list of breeder I trust that sell healthy CBB BCC babies.

Casey & Darla Hulse. These two are friends of mine. They sometimes have Surinames for sale.
Natures Spirit Reptiles --- Welcome To www.nsreptiles.com

Bob Futo is also a friend of mine.
I have bought from Bob before and he has some of the best Surinames around just e-mail him or call him to see what he has. Most of the big time breeder Suriname stock came from Bob to begein with.
bfconstrictors@sbcglobal.net

These are breeders that I have talked to but never bought from yet but I would trust them. I will buy form them in the future.

Gus Rentfro: Gus has some of the nice looking boa around.
Welcome Rio Bravo Reptiles

Barry Miller: Barry also has some very nice looking boas.

Not all BCI looses there colors as adults. Here are a few of my adults that still have good color to them.
You just have to pick out the good looking babies when you are buying them.

This female is over 6 foot long.


This male is 6 foot long.


This female is over 6 feet long.

Tom failed to mention that HE breeds boas too....

I DEFINITELY agree on what he said though...Barry Miller, Gus Rentfro, Bob Futo, they are some of the TOP breeders as far as I'm concerned.

All three will get a little dark as adults. But they will be nice looking.

Here are a few of the babies I have that should have some nice color when adults but I think there tails will be dark. The ones you posted have on pink or red in there body / base color they have gray and white.

First baby




Second baby.

Yeah I tried contacting him, but didnt get a reply. I also unfortunatly found out his website is not up to date....I emailed him about a female I liked....then found on this forum someone had bought that snake almost a month ago.

Yeah, thats the one I wanted!

Oh well, I've decided to give one of these nice female BCI's a shot....I think their coloration is good enough that it will hold up through adulthood.

This snake will also give me good husbandry experience for boas....this is my first boa. I've kept ball pythons....but I hear boas are a little different! From what I gather the BCI's are a bit more tolerant and thrive easier than the BCC.

I will be placing my order tomorrow...I'll post some pics when I get her.
