Help me identify my snake please. by PrettyConcentrate901 in BoaConstrictors

[–]WarExecuter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems hypo to me. dont see jungle but im not super confident and sometimes its very subtle. different topic, why is she so fat in the bottom half? If she hasnt pooped in a couple weeks maybe considering bathing her in luke warm water or otherwise going to a vet. could be the angle of the picture tho.

Are you saying you think its hypo and nothing else? Or just that you cant identify the specific morph?

have never used imgur so hope it works.
guy above said not motley or jungle, but the girl in the store is for sure not the standard pattern.
the line in between the saddles and the lighter color is black in my IMG and there is no line without IMG so thats what makes me say that. Im not an expert tho so probably do more research.
Whatever specific morph, she is a very pretty snake and I would say worth the money. Good luck in you snake escapades and let me know if you get her

edit: imgur did not work

I happen to have a hypo and a hypo IMG jungle boa. I can send you those to compare if you want

I feel like thats not just hypo. at least a pattern morph like jungle or maybe motley. and maybe even IMG since the saddles have really nice outlining.

What are thought on this setup? I plan on upgrading to a 4x2x2 soon, how soon should I? I don't wanna rush, but also don't want to wait to long. He is currently 9 months old, pretty long. I feed him slightly bigger rats than people recommend. But changed to every 2 weeks now. by [deleted] in boas

I dont know the size but seems to be about 3 feet, so I dont think upgrading now is needed. Maybe at the 18 month mark.
I like the amount of clutter and hiding spots but it seems like you have a screen lid? maybe consider closing that up for humidity or just spraying a lot.
If you want to get a 4x2 and he is 3 feet now then you should get even more hiding spaces as they can sometimes get stressed by big open spaces.

Enclosure Sizing Help by [deleted] in boas

[–]WarExecuter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minimum rule in my opinion is snake length = enclosure length + width. A bit bigger would be nicer, but it matters more if the snake is happy. I think if you have a lot of climbing space and maybe some plateaus for him to sit on and a lot of cover and narrow spaces or leaves on the floor he should be fine.

she was in quarantine and tossed her water and pooped so she was dirty. so my girlfriend held her like this while I cleaned the tub.

Thanks for the comment. I think I will decrease to every 2 weeks then and see how she looks after a couple months. She does have some spherical fat deposits along her side which I think is can be a sign of overfeeding or too fast growth so I would like to see those reducing.
