awesome pics! gotta love the Boa Constrictor!!! tis a shame us Aussies can't keep 'em tho...

 

[osmotic]

Thanks mate

It is a shame you guys can't keep boas. You have got some of the best snakes in the world to select from though.

 

[da_donkey]

it looks like a red tail.... can you please explain the Crawl cay thing to me

 

[Retic]

Absolutely beautiful snake, I am so jealous of you guys.

 

[osmotic]

Yes mate. He is a Boa Constrictor Imperator from a small island off the coast of Belize.
The red tail boas are Boa c . constrictor and originate from Surinam and Guyana amonst other places, they tend to be a little bigger than the BCI and also a little bit more stroppy! The true red tails have fantastic colouring and markings though.

My crawl cay should only get to about 5 feet maximum.

Please see here for some more good info.

[deathinfire]

nice python

What camera are you using?

 

[osmotic]

Thanks.

It's a Fuji Finepix S9500 (I think in Oz it may be known as the S9000)

 

[Retic]

Yeah but at least you can have what we have plus everything else.

Thanks boa. The jealousy goes both ways then mate.

 

[NCHERPS]

nice python

What camera are you using?

Don't you mean "Nice Boa" ! LOL!

Do you keep any other Imperator?
How common are they now in the UK, when I left there were only a couple of people breeding them regularly.

Cheers

boa: Fair point. I have to say I really admire Australias policy on foreign animal species though.

NCHERPS: I missed that as well!! LOL As I have just got my jungle carpet python, forgot what thread I was on for a minute. Doh!
No mate, just got the one imperator, he is just a spoilt pampered pet. Being a member on several UK forums too, you are right, I have only ever come across 2-3 crawl cay breeders in the UK. Which is a shame as they are really lovely snakes.

I am not experienced enough to take on a breeding project of my own unfortunately. Perhaps in a year or two.
