Boa appreciation thread
Hey everyone,
so obviously I'm a fan of boa's and I know a lot of you guys (and girls  ) are too. So here's a thread to show off your favourite boid's or perhaps theres an unusual boa species in your collection that you could share an info sheet on for everyone to read out if interest? Is there any tips that are boa specific or feel free to throw in anything related that you want.
To anyone who loves to talk boa's.. Join an awesome group on facebook dedicated to everything boa. BOADDICTION . Photos, debate's, discussion nights and more. (mods- if this is an issue, please edit my post)

Re: Boa appreciation thread
My next snake will likely be a snow boa. Would be my 1st boa. No pics until then...

Re: Boa appreciation thread
I love Boas. What I find interesting is that Boas can be found in different parts of the worls and even those found in Latin America can be so different from each other.

Re: Boa appreciation thread
I got my first boa last August, and there's just no compare to my ball python. Although Bud (bp) is active, Cloud (boa constrictor) will come right up the walls of his tub to see what I'm doing. If I'm spraying down his cage, he'll try to climb up my arm.  He's also a pig, and has a much stronger feeding response than Bud.
I'll definitely be getting more species of boas in the future.

Re: Boa appreciation thread
I love my boas they all have such unique personalities and their looks and color variations. Myfavorite part of boas is their big beautiful triangle shaped heads,shows how muscular they really are also aids in them being wonderful escape artists as well!

Re: Boa appreciation thread
I got my first boa 2.5 years ago and it was my BRB. Since then I've become intrigued more and more by them. Your right, they have huge personalities for a snake and I often find mine doing something dopey .
I think at the moment I'd really like a Jamaican boa, as they're stunning in my eyes.

This <3 No but seriously I just love boas as well. My first snake I got only a year ago is a Guyana rtb, and he is just....argh I feel so lucky to have gotten him as my first little serpent. He is fantastic and everything about him is so interesting to me.

Re: Boa appreciation thread
Just had one of those special boa appreciation days. The smell gave it away, and she knocked her water bowl over. Yes, the lovely way boas can hold on until they deliver something of an amazing size is truly remarkable.

Re: Boa appreciation thread
9 of my snakes are Boas. Between the Dums and the BRBs, I really find these snakes facinating.

Re: Boa appreciation thread
I'm generally more of a colubrid kind of guy, but the slow, mellow and very predictable behavior of a boa can be very pleasing. Also the normal phase BCIs and BCCs are just gorgeous, IMHO.
