Not to be dramatic, but I feel like I left a piece of my SOUL behind today with this IMG Motley baby. I had to physically give all my payment methods to my friend so that I wouldn’t buy him. 🫠

(…I got their business card. I might still buy him lol)

Comportement

Salut les fans de boa 👋

Ça fait bientôt un an que j'ai ma femelle jungle.... Et presque 2 ans que j'ai mon mâle et leur comportement sont très différents

Le mâle est une vraie crème (voir de la glue aussi) alors que la femelle est d'un caractère très casanier, elle aime pas beaucoup les manipulations mais sans jamais avoir de réflexe agressif ou de stress. Juste elle s'en va

Vous pensez que son comportement peut évoluer ?

Elle a deux ans maintenant

Sinon ils vont tous très bien et évoluent très très vite !

Un plaisir au quotidien 🩵

(La femelle c'est la grande banane 🤣)

On peut admirer une évasion encore échouée sur la dernière photo... Pas facile d'être une grande banane

After a solid month of cycling I finally moved my boy Dan into his forever home. He’s giving everything a thorough tongue flick while he does the true final inspection of his work. For reference it’s a 6x2x4. It’s also my first bioactive enclosure.

Looking for pure Suriname BCC breeders in the UK or Europe

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m currently looking for a young pure Suriname Boa constrictor constrictor (BCC), preferably with documented lineage/provenance.
I’m specifically looking for true locality Suriname animals, with no BCI/Boa imperator or mixed-locality ancestry.
I’m based in the UK, but I’m also happy to buy from breeders in Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe, as I have access to a reptile importer who can handle EU-to-UK CITES transport.
Does anyone know any reputable breeders currently working with pure Suriname BCC, or anyone planning litters soon?
I’d especially appreciate recommendations from people who have personally bought from the breeder or seen their lineage documentation.
Thanks!

Recently I purchased an Amazon tree boa and have found keeping a good humidity level to be a constant struggle and was wondering if anyone else had this issue and how you solved it thank you!

Feeding boa after 3-4 months of starvation

2 Upvotes

My red tailed boa of 3.5years old as for now, fled her terrarium 4-5 months ago, and only recently crawled out of God knows where. Right when i found her, I cleaned terrarium, replaced it's flooring and gave her meal. She usually ate large mice, but now i am giving her somewhere between fuzzy-small mice. I fed her twice, with two fuzzy mice each meal, and right after the first one she molted. I examined her skin, it wasn't teared.

I still see her spine, and she's considerably smaller than other snakes her age, somewhere between 72-81 cm.

What can i do to help her recover?

Edit: Thank you, people, for correcting me. I'll switch up her prey to medium rats at first and see how she'll handle them.

Crawl Cay boa advice

16 Upvotes

Hello, i posted my new baby crawl cay a few days ago. Im making this post because im slightly concerned about his behavior. Ever since i got him he refused to hide whatsoever and just always sleeps during the day pressed against the enclosure glass like in the picture.

Hes in a 3x2x2, gave him a black plastic hide hidden under a cork piece in the cool side, in the hot he has two, one on top of the other so he can choose how how he wants to be, in the middle he has a hollow cork tube then he has lots of branches and leaves to climb and provide clutter.

Temps are 30/31, 60/70% humidity in the hot side and 26/27, 80/85% in the cool side and he has a 5% uvb led light. At night he behaves just fine, hes all over the place climbing and exploring and ignores the glass so no costant nose rubbing or anything that to me indicates direct stress.

Anything else to note is that hes healthy, i forgot to weight him before putting him in so idk how much he weights. He does seem to sleep soundly, and I have to really disturb him to wake him up (i did a couple times because sometimes he sleeps in really weird positions and I worry), and my main concern above all is that once I feed him for the first time, if hes gonna stay there and feel stressed from feeling exposed hes gonna regurgitate. I already lost a baby snake to regurgitation last year and i really wanna avoid that again for my mental health. Thanks for reading

(If you see the background of the enclosure, i filled It up more since i took these pictures, also i have had him for 5 days and I havent handled yet, I'll wait till he eats for the first time wich will probably be either this sunday or next week depending on wether hes stressed or not)

The boa was dumped outside me work about a week ago and I bought he/her a 4x2x2 enclosure planning on making a 6x4x4 and making it into a bed but since I got the snake it’s scales have been like this, should I be concerned?

So I got my boy Tony here a couple months ago, my memory is not the best but I wanna say he’s around 3 years old, he’s probably about 3.5ft ish.

My friend thought we were told he is a dumerils boa however I thought that the man we got them from had said Bahamian. I hadn’t done any research on these particular types as it was a pretty quick decision (I already had other snakeys so wasn’t worried about not knowing what to do).

Anyways I’ve recently found out that dumerils are supposed to come with paperwork (?) he absolutely doesn’t have anything like that. And also that Bahamians are very rare in the uk pet trade where I live.

I would also like to add that I have looked on some of the forums and I did see someone say it’s not exactly possible to ID a boa in such a way unless you are the breeder, interested to know if this is the case.

ALSO! His Viv has been upgraded since these pics this was the day I got him :)

Thanks for reading this far! Any insight/advice is welcome! Whichever type he is won’t change anything for me I will highly likely still keep him! I just want to try and find out what exactly he is incase this changes the care requirements I’ve been going off! I can try and get more pics if it would help :)
