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 don’t know much about Angolans. How big do they get and what is their care like? I love the pattern and colours!

Males generally don’t get much more than 2500g, unless they are decades old. Females are usually more like 4000-5000g, although the largest I’ve seen was over 7000g (old individual). Their care is like a BP except they don’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.
