Tommy, my Guyana Redtail Boa
Hi,
So I'm relatively new to the forum and my boa constrictor just shed so I thought I would do an introduction post. He is a few months over a year old and right around 3 feet. I got him from Underground Reptiles but I don't think he was bred there so I don't really know much about his history except his age and that he was captive bred. He has never struck at me ands never missed a meal (even after a vet visit and while in shed) so I am guessing that he was treated pretty well. The only thing I wonder about is that he's is speckled with tiny little scars all over his body and tail. He could have possibly been fed live food before I got him, but there is no way to know.
He is in a 6' by 28" vision cage that is full of hides, plants and wood. He is very calm during handling and uses me as his personal jungle gym. He is just overall a great snake. I would definitely recommend boas to any one who is ready for a bigger snake. I especially like the BCCs; I think their patter and colors are stunning.
Here're the photos I took this afternoon:
I will be posting earlier photos later.
Thanks for reading!
