What new reptiles have you bought recently?

Thanks Ashley, definitely didn’t plan on getting these back, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity when I got the phone call.

I will. That’s my plan anyway. Hopefully I’ll get a female visual pied from the pairing and can work towards a Super OD Pied. Then mix in my Leo Clown, and go for the double recessive super. The Clown will also go on the Super LBB once she’s ready, then my male Pied after him.
I’m going for a Super OD Super Leo Clown Pied, and a Super LBB Super OD Leo Clown. Definitely going to need the odd Gods for this project lol.

…Baird’s ratsnakes maybe? :joy: Maybe some other colubrids as well. Be sure to save room for one of Polaris’ future babies since I am sure you will want one lmao. When you produce retics is probably when I will have babies from her, so it will be a while lol.

Haha yeah you know I love my Baird’s. Definitely going to be awhile before I add anything more.
Lol, yep long drawn out projects for retics and balls is what I see in my future. I’d have a hard time saying no to a hatchling from Polaris, she’s stunning.

I just these today. I actually traded for them. The pic isn’t the best, but I didn’t want to bother them too much right out of the box.

They are Tumbes Long-Tailed Boa Constrictors (longicauda) from Vin Russo’s line, produced by Sonja Koolmo. These change very dramatically in the first year of life.

They are so small and cute, especially when compared to the much larger (and younger) Argentines I produced this year. The Argentines were at least 2.5x the size of the longicauda at birth, even though the longicauda are a few months old.

You would assume by the name that they would grow longer :sweat_smile:
I definitely want to see how they change as they grow.

Longicauda means “long tail.” And they do have proportionately longer tails than other subspecies. Longicauda reach 5-7 feet in length, but they are slender and light weight, never achieving the mass of stockier subspecies such as constrictor, occidentalis or amarali.

I may be posting something similar in a few weeks. Just trying to find a specific locality.

What are you looking for?

dwarf locals but to be more specific mainly Nicaraguans. They seem extra hard to find this time of year. Not looking for morphs of them or anything, just a nice wild type.
