I got this guy around the same time as the Tarahumaras and they are all in quarantine together. This is the one I wouldn't have bought if I had known my old car needed the work on it done this month. But oh well:rolleyes: I only have room for one more boa now.

He is a hypo 66% het Leopard. He seems fairly friendly from the little bit of handling I have done with him!

MAN I love boas, they have such a great looking shape. Would have to be one of my favourite snakes that I legally can't own lol. I'd take a snake over a car anyway, and it looks wonderful ;)

Gorgeous boa Riddick. I love the striping on his lower half.

Yeah when I looked up the leopards I saw they had visual markers for the gene. Funnily I actually think he looks better with all the markers than the actual leopard boa!

what a beautiful snake! does he actually have some gray coloring or is that the lighting?

It might be the lighting he is pretty tan. I'll have to look at him a bit now just to be sure! He just ate so I don't want to bother him right this second. He has a really strong feeding response. Only his head was poking out from under the shavings but when he scented the mouse he exploded out and had it wrapped before I could blink.

Oh no I'm still paying for the work on the car to be done haha it just ended up on a credit card instead of out of pocket. I'm selling my old car but no one wants a car that doesn't have inspection stickers on it. The work being done on it is a little over 500 as long as everything goes well....of course that never happens so who knows how much it will be in the end. It's been sitting since I got my new car last year. Of course my new car had 300 dollars worth of work done on it too last weekend....brake stuff and stickers.

I do have a favorite car look apparently lol My old eclipse in the front and my new Altima at the end of the driveway. I compromised on the reliable car or sports car decision and got the Altima coupe last year.

Gorgeous boa Riddick. I love the striping on his lower half.

That was one of my favorite parts! The head markings sold me though for some reason I really like those dots in the head stripe.

Wow, I was so caught up with the stripe that I missed his head pattern. Very unique and impressive critter indeed. Congrats on the nice score!

Beautiful, quite a bit of salmon pink color as well. Pics like that are why I almost never click on the boas whem I'm scrolling down the fauna classified pages, so hard to resist... lol.

Congrats on the reptiles! They look terrific. Sorry about the cars.

Thanks:D yeah both cars are legal to drive again! I picked up my old car today just have to sell it now. Have a couple people interested in it already so hopefully it goes fast. Of course my wiper blades on my Altima got tangled yesterday....cars hate me lol. Luckily all Rick had to do as tighten the one arm but the other has to be replaced since it bent. I'll probably just slap new blades on it while I'm at it too....hopefully this is the last problem until next inspection time!

That stripe and those head markings are stunning!

I was scrolling through this thread and thinking "stunning" but Oleman beat me to it. I guess I'll have to go with "gorgeous" instead. Congrats. Glad you got your cars fixed as well!
