Finally Got This Girl Back!

[kevyn]

This is my female Amazon Tree Boa (Corallus hortulanus). She's been with a friend of mine since last August, when we got evacuated due to wild fires. She almost immediatly bred to my friends Cook's Tree Boa (Corallus cookii)-I know not my doing or my choice. So once she was gravid we left her there. Now she's finally home. She was having a bad shed, and I took these pics just after I got it off her.

I should mention too, that she's dog tame. Really unusual for an Amazon.

god damn, i want it. hey where you are, are you allowed to have exotics arent you?

why is it different here in Oz

 

[Ricko]

hey kev how big is she? is she gravid or has she laid?

 

[kevyn]

She's about 4.5 or 5ft. She has had her young and sadly none were viable. :cry: However I am slightly glad, because no doubt someone would get ripped off eventually buying the crosses as pure Cooks. Real Cooks are extremely rare. I'll pick up a coloured male soon, and breed her again in August.

she's great how long you had her not counting the time she was away?

 

[kevyn]

A year. She's my wife's, Meaghan's favourite. These pics don't do her any justice. I'll post some better pics once she's out of her humidity box that I'm using to rehydrate her abit.

Here's an old photo of her but it's a bit better.

And this is the Cook's Tree Boa (Corallus cooki) that she bred to, back when he was mine.

Sorry neither are the best pics.

Kevyn you are saying that they are hard to be tamed?

Kevyn you are saying that they are hard to be tamed?

To tell you the truth Slatey, I didn't find her that hard to tame. Most people don't even try just because they are sooo aggressive. We're of the opinion that Amazons are what you make them. We really enjoy ours. All of the Corallus have a reputation for aggressive behaviour. I can't wait to get more.
