There is one at the pet store here. the owner said its like a dwarf redtail boa.
im not gonna get it but i was just wondering if anyone has one and what are they like.
 
I have 2.2 of them. The males are striped het for blood and the females are het stripe/blood. I also have any Anery Type II.

They will be a bit smaller than their columbian cousins. Probably peaking out at about 5-6 feet, unless you're overfeeding.
 
ok thanks. what is their temperament like? The owner of the petstore held it and it was pretty calm. She said it only eats live though. Do yours eat f/t?Also do you know a site that has a good caresheet on them?
 
I only feed f/t to EVERY snake I have. Nobody gets live.

They're pretty docile, except for one. She has an attitude. And I'm guessing it runs in the bloodline because a guy on another forum that has a sibling to her, she's also quite pissy. But the others have never given me a hard time. As for caresheets....I'd suggest poking around the boa forum at Kingsnake.com . Sorry, I don't know of anything specific off the top of my head. For the most part, they're kept just like common boas.
