Re: Female Central American Boa Size?
8 feet is large for a central american boa. It would be an odd giant or grossly overfed. That's why I think there are probably other genes mixed in(colombian bci or bcc of some sort).
If you want a sizeable boa get a colombian or true red tail(Bcc).

Re: Female Central American Boa Size?
Well, sizeable without going to the extremes. I have a little girl on the way and don't want something I HAVE to have my husband home to touch. 7ft would be perfect. With the amount of morphs Kahl produces, I'm sure his boas are pretty mixed. I was a little shocked to see her mention Nics, those seem to be on the smaller size and Nagini's mom and dad are close to and max size for BCIs save the odd caresheet that says 10-12ft for females. I guess this is why the caresheets out there are so mixed.

Re: Female Central American Boa Size?
Nic's are a small locality, usually max at 5-6ft I think.

Re: Female Central American Boa Size?
They wouldn't be nics if the female is 8ft, though, snakey-jay, so they are obviously not full nics.

That was my point mate lmao... With kahl mixed in id say there's more chance of common BCI.

Isn't a "common" BCI like...red rather than dark brown/black like she's saying? I'm really curious about this snake.

There's a wide variation in commons mate.. From clean n bright to dark n heavily speckled.. We call a BCI common when it's not a locality or a morph... In dog terms it's a mutt.

Re: Female Central American Boa Size?
The snakes in both pics you posted are Argentines. If yours is a BCI it will look nothing like those two. Just an FYI.

Re: Female Central American Boa Size?
My snake looks almost identical (save mine's reddish tint) to the first photo I posted, however, the breeder has her labeled as a CA Boa produced from two of Kahl's boas she purchased - an 8ft female and a 5ft male.

Re: Female Central American Boa Size?
Yeah, you'll need to post some pics of her when she shows up.

Re: Female Central American Boa Size?
I'd prefer not to give the breeder for sake of their reputation until I figure out what's going on here. As of right now, I feel that they may be just in it for the money due to the fact that my desperate emails to cancel this went unanswered yet an email regarding her local was responded to immediately. I don't know if that's the case or what is going on but I won't be responsible for trashing a breeders rep over a few possibly missed emails or some other reasonable explination. It is this holidays, after all.

Re: Female Central American Boa Size?
Then you are deciding not to aware the rest of us. Why would he want his name to be held private? Does he not publicly advertise himself?

She just said she wanted to wait to get the full story and details before putting a name out there for people to possibly trash if there isn't a real reason to...she didn't say the breeder didn't want his name mentioned...
