I got this girl in a trade this past summer and I have been really happy with her. She is really chill and looks great. She shed last night so I took a couple shots of her relaxing in the corner before cleaning her tub because she just doesn't sit still for photos very often.

Thanks for the comments everyone. This is my only boa for now but I have had many in the past and I am still trying to decide wether to pick up a sunglow male next year to eventually breed to her. Then again she might just make a really nice looking pet boa.
Great pictures. So what exactly makes an Arabesque?
The Arabesque morph was proven out in the mid 90's as a Co-dom/Dom pattern and color mutation by Steve Hammond. Arabs have a thin pattern that is sometimes connected, they are usually heavily speckeled( mine is unusually clean ) and many develop heavy peach and pink undertones as they mature and color up.
When they are younger Arabesque are more subtle, but as adults there is no mistaking an Arab for a Normal.
This also seems to be a love/hate morph in the Boa community. Many love the qualities that make up the Arabesque morph while others think it is too dark and too dirty( speckled). I am definately a big fan of the Arabesque morph and have been for awhile.

That first shot is cool :rockon:
Very beautiful boa. That second shot is great!
Both good lookin' snakes. The eyes on the arabesque are evil lookin' :D
I love that boa! Arabesques are my favorite morph, aside from hypos.
