And I mean little. This is El Fuego, an '05 F1 Honduran Firebelly from Bob Harding stock. He's gonna be 4 in march, and still just a little bitty thing. He's so calm, it's hard to believe his parents are WC. Ain't he purty.

Who says they ain't arboreal?

And this little girl is his when she's ready. She is an '06 Bob Harding bred F3. She's already outgrown her man, though I have fed her pretty conservatively. She's twice his weight I bet, and over a foot longer. Oh, and I call her TAZ for a reason. She's homozygous evil. The super form. :devil:

Comin' to get me in the first one. :)

Thanks for looking!
Rick

Really nice boas! Not a locality I've seen much on, thanks for sharing!

Great looking boas...:rockon:

Nice pics Rick! I like that sassy little girl!!!!

Those are cool, I like, don't see too many people working with em from what I have seen, but cool.... very nice pics too!

Thanks! They're pretty neat. I'm liking these guys a lot, though I'd love to be able to handle TAZ more. Almost had her there, but I gave her a bigger cage, and she grew horns again.

I have better pics of them, but those are the latest ones. Here's a couple more of TAZ...

Thanks for the comps! :cheers:

Man Rick you are getting an awesome collection together Bro! What you got cooking for this spring?

They are both beautiful. TAZ does have an attitude. :lol:

Sweet collection!! Love that one with the teeth showing :rockon:

Beautiful firebellies Rich...

Nice! Love that last pic.... he wants to tag someone!

Wow look at the teeth on that female. Nice looking Boas my freind:rockon:

very nice

God damn I love these Firebellies.


I saw these WAAAAY back when, and have not heard anyword on the since.


THESE are what got me into boas!

They were coming in by the crates in the 90's, but nobody liked their dark coloration, or wanted to deal with TAZ's relatives. LOL I got these, not just because they are stunning animals, but because A lot of people have not had success pairing them up. I like challenges. And would love to selectively breed more fire into them over time.

TAZ is a definite challenge to keep. LOL She got me 3 times in a row when I first pulled her from the bag in the office. Shoulda seen my workmates scramble and squeal like little girls. :lol: She was maybe 10 inches long back then. I've been lucky enough to avoid most of her attempts since then though.


Man Rick you are getting an awesome collection together Bro! What you got cooking for this spring?

Nothing this year brotha. Only thing I'll have available will be yearlings from this season. I'd like to do My Hogs and Hondurans next, but I ain't sure if TAZ will be ready, and my Hog male is sitting in Abilene. He may not be willing by then either. He's just a little worm compared to his girl right now. LOL So, it's growing season for me next year.


Thanks again for all the comps. Like I said, these guys are pretty neat Boas. I have no regrets about them at all. :cheers:

Rick

Stunning boas & taz looks feisty

Keep me in the loop on those hogs Rick! Been looking for a good person to buy a pair from for about 3 years now.....

Sure thing Ron. Sucks you can hardly trust what you buy to be pure these days. That's held me back plenty.


Look at him waiting for me to come get him...

This is exactly what has held me back. I want pure hog, not a cross.

Look at him waiting for me to come get him...
He looks like he is gonna be doing the gettin'!!!!!! :lol:

It happens. :cool:

El Fuego has such a rich color to him, especially against that backdrop! Gotta love a girl with tude!!:D

I've never seen firebellies untill now. I think I'm in love :master:

In like 10 minutes, certain times of the year. It's pretty neat stuff to see. They are indeed neat to work with. Hopefully I'll accomplish my goals with them.

Thanks again for all the nice replies.

Top shelf stuff right there. :cheers: Nice picture too.

I really can't wait to come and get that boy. I think things are finally winding down at work, so maybe I should plan me a little road trip around the weekend of the NARBC show. :lol:
