 Yay!!

hi,
today my dad and i went to the serpentarium in leighton buzzard, england.
they have a range of boa ages, they had a six foot female, 4 foot female and various others, aswell as 10 four month old red tailed colombians. i initially went there with my dad to decide between a boa and a carpet python- adult-, but after doing excessive research we decided on a very light coloured female boa who is 4 foot and could possibly be gravid. my dad loves the boas so much , we also bought a baby with a stunning red tail, so that in the next few years we can breed them. we put a deposit on them and i am going back in 3 weeks to pick them up. we are paying 95 for the female, and 65 for the baby male.
ill post some pics when i get them.

at four foot she shouldnt be gravid, however breeding them in later years will be awesome

I would be very suprised if that is true and she is Colombian. The smallest I’ve heard of Colombian females being able to produce young was around 5 feet and they were older/more mature boas(like older than 5 years). The only way I can imagine it is if she is a Central American boa of some locality.
