Momma
This is a great snake. She is just a common Colombian boa but she is still a great animal. She had kind of an interesting story to her. I had a customer who had started coming in rather regularly buying rats and mice and such. I had talked to him a little bit before so I asked him what all he had. He said that he mainly had boa constrictor, many different breeding pairs of different locales and such. So I asked if he had any Hogg Islands or even knew what they were. He said that yes he actually had a pair that he was trying to sell. So I asked him how much, and he told me three hundred dollars. This seemed a little cheap to me, so I asked him to bring them in so that I could take a look at them.
The next day he brought in the pair of "Hogg Islands" I took one look and said, "Um those are Hogg Islands, those are Colombians" We argued about this for a little bit, and then he said "Well gimme a hundred fifty for em" I thought about it the snakes appeared to be in good health, so I went ahead and got the pair. I had really hoped that they where Hogg Islands, being that I have wanted a pair since I first got into snakes when I was 11 years old, but oh well the Red Tails are truly beautiful animals.
The female is not the most beautiful Colombian I have ever seen but I still enjoy her personality. She is also a great feeder. The only time she has turned down food is now that she is pregnant. Male
Here are a few pictures of her during her pregnancy. She should be giving birth for me soon.
