Boa, you were the one I had in mind when I started this thread.
Damn - that's one helluva collection (& experiences!)
Any of those Pythons or Boas in a league of their own when it comes to temperament?
(Thinking of our Scrubbies)

 

[Retic]

Does Piet Nuyten breed any ugly animals ? :lol:

 

[Bigblackdog]

Thanks Nick - spectacular looking animal!

People - THAT's what I'm talking about!

 

[Retic]

Yeah I thought I was
There are plenty of other species and they will come back to me, also some photo's but many of them were from before I even had a camera let alone a digital.
Retics can be very aggressive, the first one I had (bought by my parents for my 18th birthday) was really good after a couple of months, several others I had just wouldn't calm down, did well but remained snappy.
All the Boas I had were good especially the Red Tailed Boa.

Here's a couple of photo's, they are scanned so not the best quality. The Gila Monster wasn't mine but was offered to me.

 

[Retic]

Come on guys, there must be some more.

 

[Slateman]

I am keeping one exotic right now. I hope that this is ok.

 

[Bigblackdog]

Fantastic pics Boa.
The 1st one - is that a tegu? Looks like some form of Monitor?
How big do the Retics grow?

 

[Retic]

Thanks, yes the first one is a Black and White Tegu, they are kind of like the South American equivalent of the monitors.
Retic are the longest snakes in the world and CAN grow to 30 feet plus but that is very rare.

Fantastic pics Boa.
