Hikari post-shed. As in she shed on Sunday, and I took these on Tuesday and Wednesday.
I'd like to say.. that salmon/pink/orange-y color on her head was not there before this shed..

This is just comparing sheds. The darker, wider shed is Hikari's, and the thin and long one is Navajo's. Navajo is approximately 2 feet long, so Hikari is shorter than her.

Off topic, I'd like to show how I keep my tubs escape-proof.

Binder clips yay!

Good idea on the tubs!

Thanks! I didn't want to risk anyone getting out.

Binder clips? Genius!

Nice snake! I have a normal BCI that has tons of orange, pinks, and purples in him. His tail was the most vibrant in his litter which is why I chose him. Some of the info I gathered on pastel type boa's were just selectively bred from the nicest looking normals over years and have had their coloring emphasised. Anyone heard of a "het" pastel?

Pastel's are line bred.

Weee. I really need to be more active on this forum. I should make some friends, lol.

Anyways, thanks! I chose her because I saw pink, lots of it, and she didn't seem to have a whole lot of 'baby grey' on her.. Little Hikari's tail is turning a burnt orange color, I kind of prefer it over the red.

I actually got the binder clip idea from a member on ssnakess, I don't know who it was that had the clips on their tub, but I know they had/have red tailed green rat snakes..

I prefer the orange/brown tails as well. You've got a beautiful boa. Love the pinks! I've got a pretty unique looking boa too with some crazy pinks and "hypo shaped" saddles. I am still looking for a good explanation to them lol

sweet! looks like a bolivian boa kinda.
i can't get binder clips to stick on any tub! you're lucky!

Thanks, everyone. I'll be feeding her(and the rest of the reptiles) tomorrow, and I'll take some pictures. Her colors were much less bright the last time I handled her, she may be going into shed again.

A few feeding pics as promised..

I like taking pictures, heh.
