I am somewhat unclear about what you have, but I'll try to figure it out on the way.
If you are saying that you have a het albino breeding with a hypo that is 66 % posible het for albino then you will produce normals and hypos. Fifty % of all of the babies will be het for albino, but you won't know which ones they are.
Im Srry to hear she's past I had a huge female probly 50 or 70 pounds Tht I took care of in the green house but this kid who raises and breeds snakes took her even tho she bites the f out of him and protects me but w.e. I have the tegu so im happy
just thought id add, ive got a new boa (russian line blonde t+) whos 8ft and absolutely lovely! no hassle keeping chunky snakes once youve gotten used to it :-) big mamma is lovely as my "nutmeg"
brian, i would like to know when and how do i know if my red tail columbian boa is old enough to breed. im pretty sure it is a female but i havent got her sexed.
When breeding snakes, size is just as important or more important than age. Most female snakes will reach breeding size in 3 to 5 years. I like to see my female boas at around 12 to 15 pounds when breeding them for the first time.
I just recently bought a Ball Python and it's my first snake. I hear that i shouldn't handle it everyday. Is that true? How often can i? I know tha you should probably leave them alone for 2 days after they eat, but besides that is it ok to get them out everyday? Thanks
I do reptile programs at schools and reptile birhtday parties. It's not uncommon for my snakes (ball pythons , boas and burmese python) to get held by hundreds of kids on a day to day basis. hold them as much as you want. The more you hold them the tamer they will become.
Brian, can you give me any final advice on caring for a olombian boa, i dont want to get bit by a snake capable of becoming 7+ feet, how can i make my boa tamed like Big Mama ?
@SuperMan88Strong Hold them on a daily bases when they are babies for about 10-15 minutes a day. That should get them used to you pretty fast. Mine liked to bite and was really flighty when I got him but now hes really nice.
hi Brian , your right ! their not aggressive they make absolutely great pets i've got a surinam red-tail boa, about 3 feet long and he is just amazing in fact my kids consider him the best !
My girl is less than half the size of yours, lol. Just reached a full year in age. She's got that same attitude where she's gotta have her head on our faces all the time. I've never understood why boas do that... She doesn't necessarily smell me when she does this, she usually just tucks her face against my cheek or chin and stays there. I always wonder if it's a safety thing, or an affectionate thing, or a combo of the two.
I once read an article about a man who had a snake around his neck just like him,and all of a sudden the man felt he was choking because the snake started suffocating him.he had a lucky escape because he wasn't alone,so the people around him removed the snake from around his neck.
@fgs9 How did she die? And where do you take the snake when she dies?
Im thinking about getting a Boa Constrictor Imperator (red tail i think) because i love how some of them have a bigger and flat head and they are so kind. But I have my doubt because im so attached to the Ball python i have now and im afraid i wont be so attached to her anymore when i get another one. Is this something you have heard people experience or experienced yourself?
It's hard to say how she died, but she was around 20 years old so I just figured she died ofold age.
As far as being attached to one snake over another. I dought if you would loose any feelingss for one snake over another if you got more than one. I have 2 golden retreivers and I love them just the same.
@fgs9 OMG so sad that she passed away. But, 20 years old is like being 70 years old in human years, for a snake. Their average is about 20 to 30 years, from what I hear.
I know I will be heart broken when Sophie dies, even though that is a long ways away.
Hi Brian, quick question about common boas in shed. How long does it typically take for the complete shed cycle; from cloudy skin coloration to the actual shed?
hey I was wondering if u are gonna be at the san jose reptile expo this year cus I am gonna buy a male red tail boa for a sub 200 dolalrprice range and was wondering if you are gonna be there.
Hey Brian, nice snake!! I currently have a baby red tail boa, not sure if its a female or male but I was wondering if knew how long it takes for them to reach thier full lengh?
I'm purchasing an 8ft BCI friday myself whom was used in schools and parties like yours, watching the video has put my mind at ease, she's beautiful and so gentle you have a great snake, this'll be my first large snake :)
hi brian,my name is trevor and im from ontario canada,i love ur vids ur very informative thnx fer that,i have 3 questions my female columbian is a year and ten months,she eats a medium rat evry 2nd week she wont eat weekly,shes 40 inches iv seen snakes way biger at her age in videos,1st do u think shes small or average size?and 2nd why is it that the common boa "isnt" a true red tail ? they have the same colours there just from diffrent places ,how did they origonate if there not true red tails?
One of the first things I learned when I became a snake breeder is don't believe everything you hear. I have a friend that had a BCI that was 11 feet long and that weighed about 80 pounds. Remember genetics play a huge part in how large our snakes get.
@0binator Actually some people dont like to feed rabbits to there snakes like me i wouldnt feed rabits to my old boa past away about 2 years ago...but i tried feeding it 1 bunny she wouldnt take tried the next day she still wouldnt take it after the rabbit i put in a jumbo rat and she took it right away some snakes dont like the sent of the rabbits
I don't consider the level of humidity unless the snake is shedding. I don't use heat lamps. I use 11 inch heater tape and yes it is on 24 /7. Yes it is OK to hold your snakes daily.
can ou pleas so where it sleeps...and how you made the set up for such a big snake...i want to get me one butdont knowhow much room it actuakky takes up,,,can i have it in my room..?/
Hello Bryan, how often should i handle my red tail boa so that he`s going to be 100% tame and calm. he`s like 1 year old and 140cm now, and he allways gets a bit nervous when i pick him up, he bit me 3 times since i have him (5 months), he`s ok but he really gets agitated when picked up,he shakes like desperate to grab on something,he`s not agressive...just a little of a temper. any sugestions ? i get him out about 3-4 times a week for about half an hour. thx
big mama is 17 years old and 8 feet. long???? i thought by now she would be around like 9+feet, since shes really a old snake. their growth rate depends on how much you feed her?
and i feed mine 2 large rats or 1 extra small rabbit, or a jumbo rat, how big was your snake at 1 1/2 years old. can i keep her in a 55 gallon tank until she gets 7 feet.
i have a 1 1/2 year old 4 foot. female columbian boa constrictor. how old is she and i am i big enough to handle a snake that size i am 5ft. 11. 155lbs. what would you recommend i feed my snake.
hello brian have you ever heard of a red tail boa with no use for the flicking tounge?
i just got one he wont flick his tounge for nothing its in their but wont move at all , he feeds good and everything but i think this is kinda weird . thanx alot :))
Hey, okay I have a question. I'm building a rack and I want to include a male & female RTB in my collection. Okay so their cage will be 8ft. long by 2ft. wide by 11in. tall...
I know that they don't climb, but is 11 inches just to short? If it is then I'll have to redue things and it would then be about like 16.5in. whats your thoughts, because I'm thinking all that floor space will keep them happy. I would really like to keep it at 8'X2'X11'' but I'll change plans to keep animals the happy.
redtails are soo sweet, my redtail "calypso" loves people and loves to socialize, she gets depressed if she doesnt get to hang out with me even if im just watching youtube vids :)
I've heard that when snake hits eight feet in length you have to have a second person to handle them, but it seems that a boa that is as calm and as docile as Big Mama could be handled alone easily. Am I right?
Yes, I've heard the same thing, but you're right, she is so docile and calm that I never give it a second thought. She's been handles by thousands of people.

How old was big mama? I just rescued a big female boa. I named her Big Gall... Kinnda for me to commemorate big mama. ;)
I hope to breed Big Gall with my male hypo jungle, Dagger.
Big Gall's around 6.5' now, and Dagger is around 4.5'.
How often should I feed my new girl to get her up to breeding weight? She's lacking some of the usual Red Tail 'bulk' right now.
I'm gonna start feeding her 2.5lb rabbits next week.
I feed Dagger 1 large rat every 2 weeks for him to put on a lil weight.

big mama is 17 years old and 8 feet. long???? i thought by now she would be around like 9+feet, since shes really a old snake. their growth rate depends on how much you feed her?

She's about 3 inches from being 9 feet long.

i have a 1 1/2 year old 4 foot. female columbian boa constrictor. how old is she and i am i big enough to handle a snake that size i am 5ft. 11. 155lbs. what would you recommend i feed my snake.
DuBois994 1 year ago
@DuBois994
I'm confused. You tell me how old your snake is, then you ask me how old is she????
You are plenty large enough to handle a snake that size. I would feed your boa medium to large rats.
Good luck

Hey, okay I have a question. I'm building a rack and I want to include a male & female RTB in my collection. Okay so their cage will be 8ft. long by 2ft. wide by 11in. tall...
I know that they don't climb, but is 11 inches just to short? If it is then I'll have to redue things and it would then be about like 16.5in. whats your thoughts, because I'm thinking all that floor space will keep them happy. I would really like to keep it at 8'X2'X11'' but I'll change plans to keep animals the happy.

That size cage sounds fine. I have Big Mama in a 18" high X 3 ' wide X 5 ' long vision cage.
Good luck

I've heard that when snake hits eight feet in length you have to have a second person to handle them, but it seems that a boa that is as calm and as docile as Big Mama could be handled alone easily. Am I right?

Yes, I've heard the same thing, but you're right, she is so docile and calm that I never give it a second thought. She's been handles by thousands of people.

Could you tell me how to feed a boa to get it to this size? :D
ARSA525 1 year ago
@ARSA525
Feed your boa large food items about every week to 10 days. Sometimes gnetics has a lot to do with how large a particular snake will get.
Good luck
