Fred- I promised, here's Solaris

Taking photos of so much snake is not an easy feat.
Granted, she's only 5.5 feet, but that's 5.5 feet of muscle which can make photo-sessions a bit troublesome if she doesn't feel like posing(rest assured she's as calm as a pair of slippers).

Thanks for peeking

I should have decreased the aperture, she's too bright to easily take photos of in natural sunlight.

She is so gorgeous! Those are _really_ excellent pics, too!

 

[Momto3boys]

WOW she is stunning!!!! And those are great pics

It does get harder to photograph boas as they get larger. My big one hates photo shoots. Beautiful snake you've got!

 

[Kokopelli]

Thanks everyone
I am super happy with how she turned out

I'm dreaming of the day you will be bringing her children or grandchildren to the USA! She is so lovely, beautiful colors, beautiful boa shape, beautiful patterning.

I may actually be gaining access to her 2010 siblings(same parentage).
If enough interest should rise, I may yet be able to ship them out. We'll see

My friend, you have some wonderfully gorgeous snakes. Thanks for posting pics of this girl... and calling me out by name, too!!

Keep us posted, OK?

 

[Kokopelli]

Sure thing

I love her! She is amazing... I now have to stop looking before i find a way to get one like her...

Back in the US you have lots of good breeders. I admit, I can't say I saw tons of Boas that reach these specific hues but... there are amazing salmons back there- especially the cherry line, which is astonishing.
The pro with ours is that they are Hog Isle crosses so they are smaller.

Great boa and great pics! I bet you're glad you stuck it out with the D5000??!

It's a D3000
And it's not like I had much of a choice, but still, yup, I'm happy

Exactly. She has the amazing colors and the Hog Isle genetics. That makes her different from the beautiful Salmons we can buy.

 

[Kokopelli]

The cherry line salmons actually compete, and in some cases, outshine our sunfires because they are far more established. I can't honestly say that we're the only ones who generate high orange salmons, nor can I say that we're the only ones who breed high quality sunsets.
I can say that as far as I know, we're the most advance in the attempt to create a sunset albino, but that's based on only what I came across.

It would be arrogant and a lie for me to say that our stock in better than everything available in the US.

The rest... depends on personal taste. I would be extremely happy to own a cherry line salmon or two, the size though, might end up posing a problem, which is why the Hog Isle influence is so cherished by myself. But there -are- good looking Hog Isle cross salmons out there too.

I believe I have a very solid base and that Alon and I are producing good quality salmons, and it can only improve from here on out. Anything other than that... I am uncomfortable with.
Regardless, waiting for me simply means that you will be buying from me- which is nice cause I am all in all a rather pleasant individual
