Really cool. Angolans have such a pretty natural color to them. Not as varied/numerous as Retics or Boas but still gorgeous. Awesome photo! Surprised they are super active too.

So beautiful!! :heart_eyes:

I donā€™t know much about Angolans. How big do they get and what is their care like? I love the pattern and colours!

Males generally donā€™t get much more than 2500g, unless they are decades old. Females are usually more like 4000-5000g, although the largest Iā€™ve seen was over 7000g (old individual). Their care is like a BP except they donā€™t need elevated humidity and you have to scale up the enclosure to size. Unlike BPs, they are not shy and they pretty much always feed. They are also a more active species with a little more edge to them, especially when young.
