New reptile this weekend

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
they will probly have most of that stuff there..you should go..
 
I would drive myself but even though I'm turning 17 In June I STILL don't have my permit:irked: :cry: :swear: . It's not too bad of a drive like 2.5 hours, but I would have to persuade my Dad to take me. I went to the April Expo in White Plains last year and it was AWESOME, but I missed this one:( so I have no idea what to expect. Anyways hopefully I will see you there, and If you buy an Argus I'm coming over for a visit;)

Their is no such thing as a Suriname boa. The proper name is Colombian Boa. Surinames have no unique caracteristics and are not recognized as a seperate species of snake.

Uh no the Columbian or Common Boa is Boa Constrictor Imperator or BCI and the Suriname, Guyana's ect. are Boa Constrictor Constrictor or BCC.
 
Uh no I think your wrong. Boa Constrictor or Common boa is Boa constrictor. Now the Colombian or "Common Boa" Boa constrctor constrictor is what the Surinames and the Guianan. So their is no such thing as a Suriname or Guinan, their just from different areas and is only a name used in the pet trade. This is the way to tell them apart.

BCI / BCC
Saddles 22-30/15-22
Dorsals 56-79/81-95
Ventrals 225-253/234-250
Subcoaldals 47-69/49-62

I'm right your wrong, get over it.

listen dont start arguing on my thread like 3 yr olds
 
"Boa c. imperator is smaller than Boa c. constrictor (exception: the Colombian imperators). The common boa has an essentially higher number of middorsal blotches (up to 30) than Boa c. constrictor.

The imperators from Colombia were the first Boa constrictor subspecies imported in a large number to Germany in the mid 60s. Their robust constitution and calm temper make these boas the ideal snakes for the beginner"

"Most of the Suriname Boa c. constrictor that are kept in captivity in Germany are wild caught. Unfortunately the mortality rate of wildcaught boa c. constrictor is enormous, because the redtails are not as robust in health as Boa c. imperator."

" As a guesstimate we would say that 99% of the Colombian boas kept in captivity are Boa c. imperator.
Boa c. c. out of Colombia are very rare. So far we still have to see such an animal in the flesh"

This is one of those things that can be disputed for hours so I am out.
