For a while I eyeballed the Argentines love the dark color and pattern, well after doing some research on husbandry I picked one up, she's a female almost a year and a half. You know what funny everyone I talked to said that they are aggressive, she hasn't tried to strike at me even once?
Anyway just finished quarantine and she's on the main line, my first boa!

I like their color and pattern as well and have considered getting a pair in the future. Congrats though on getting her :)

Nice one Bro! You are lucky if you found a calm one. Every one I have ever seen was striking like crazy if you even get close to them... and they usually arent bluffing!

She is HOTTTTTT. I almost picked one of those up from a local guy (although I'm not really a boa person), but just as I was about to say 'okay, I'll take her'; she hammered his forearm with zero warning. The wound was impressive. I reconsidered.

So now I will happily admire yours instead!! May she be as sweet as pie all her days!! Keep us posted!!

Cheers,
Kat

Tosha, I wasn't ether then I laid eyes on a Argentine!

Thats what I was told, I was right on her with the cam on the head shot, I think she loves the camera!

That girl is gigantic for a year and a half old. I have a Colombian female 2½ that's smaller then that by a tad. I would have guessed 3 yrs by the size and adult colors showing.

But she is a nice one. I always liked them, have admired a few up close, but never took the leap. Maybe one of these days when I'm done playing with the mutated Boa genes. LOL

Thanks for sharing. She's a doll.

congrats, argentines are by far my favorite boa. I've never found a nippy or aggressive one either though. A little hissy as neos but fine as adults. I need to get some more sometime soon.
