 An intruduction and a first post

Hi everybody this is my first post and I wanted to show off my snake. The snake is about 2 years old and a little over 5 feet (160cm about), I got it this february. Can you guys maby tell me what type of snake I got. I think it is a male because I can feel like a penis when I push my index finger from the rectum to the tail about 12 scales away. And if you could tell me how big your snake was when it was about 2 years old for comparison.

here are the pics hope you like it. I will try to get some better pics on but the others didnt seem to work

Looks like a Common BCI.

As far as sexing. Do the same thing you did, but go the other way. You should feel a bump,bump like a pair of bbs if it is a male.

As for size. 5 feet for a 2 year old male is right where it should be if not a little big.

Everything that I was going to say, Florida beat me to it. Many people raise their boas too quickly. Anything over 5ft (like mentioned) is borderline too big for that age....in my opinion.
.
As far as sex determination, w/o probing, you’ll never know for sure. But if you could post a photo of the tail, (cloaca to tip), it could help us give you a better idea. Males tend to have bigger (or longer) tails than females.

Good looking boa.

Here are some more pics of my guy think it is a guy. So is it like Florida boy said a common BCI.









The two of us





Here is your pic supersaiyansmits are you any closer. I couldnt get a better pic I tried.





And finally my most loved 7 month rottweiler Dimma.




Hope you enjoy the pics and please if you can still tell me how long your snake was at 2 years old I would appreciate it for comparison and help me out guessing what sex it is.
