I got this pair of ugly ducklings over a year ago and man they sure do turn into swans as they grow!

Diana, they both look great! The black color on the male is outstanding, he is truly one of the nicest boas of any locale I have seen. Let me know when they are ready to breed 'cause I want to be first in line to pick a pair from those two.:cheers:

Thanks Kevin! The male would be ready to go now if I had a bigger female for him. Possibly next year for the female if not the year after. The female is axanthic and the male is possible het axanthic so it will be cool to see what comes out. I like any color of these boas really.

Sigh of RELIEF :master:
With nothing being sacred these days I was fearing the morph mongers had edged their way into the longtail strains :nono:

WOW! Talk about serious 'ugly duckling syndrome' They sure did grow into there patterns. The male is just GREAT! :D What are your plans for them?

Rapture

My plans are to breed them as soon as the female is good and ready. I think they are a good looking pair. No two look alike... I'd love to get more. :)
