OK.. I have noticed a lot of pics posted ol that say the snake is a "circle-backed" boa. YET, I do NOT notice the circlebacking type pattern on the pics of the snakes. I myself do NOT consider a snake to be a circle-backed boa unless it is basically ALL circles on the patterning between the saddles actually. An oval is NOT a circle, a circle is round also. I think that people are calling boas that have the oval type patterns on them between the saddles "circle-backed" boas too often when they are actually more of an oval pattern going on with them. Of course that's just my .02 on the subject. Here's two of my boas that are about as close as one can get to circle-backed without being a FULL circle-back..IMO of course ;D
This one is ANDY..One of my female breeders I keep here...
This one is one of my male breeders..La'Creme..He is the one that I had lent out for a breeding lend that turned out really bad. He is now back in my possession thanx to a friend ;D His babies he sired from that clutch that I found out about were basically pastel, striped tails. He's been breeding some of my other females this year..So we'll see if it was a temp thing or genetic at all hopefully this time round...
OH..AND He is the one that is the light colored one , NOT the dark one [ that is my nasty tempered CA female that I got when I purchased the "pair". Person wouldn't split em up at all and I wanted the male. So had to buy both of them. The pics are from when they had first come in so I had them in quarantine together as they had been always housed together with their previous owner anyways. They are housed separately now and since then though.]
So what do people consider to be a cicrle backed boa actually ? One that has ONLY circles OR ones that have ovals and some circles or what ?

Sort of makes the saddles look like they are the rungs of a ladder.....
