I have joined the site to learn, get help with my two boa constrictors.I was given a female colombian/common boa about 18 months or so ago she is now 5 feet 9 inches and weighs 10 lb. she has very very little red on her tail and I dont have a clue exactly where she originates from. I was told colombian red tail boa or common boa. I think she is about 3 years old ! .I then bought a "hogg Island boa (male) with the intention of breeding them .However I dont know this snakes age (I think it may be two years old) it measures 5 feet 4 inches! and weighs in at 7 lb 4oz .I say it because when I took it to jubilee vet to have it sexed they informed me that they are 85% sure it is a female.When I explained this to the pet shop where I had bought the Hoggy he said the ""dmn vet is wrong its a MALE ! if I say its a male"" They have both been housed together since November 2014 when I bought him/her? .they are in an 1.375 mtr vivexocit vivairium with hot end at 29.8 and cool at 25.4 Degrees Celsius .humidity is usually kept between 40 and 70% a little higher when they come into blue. I Am glad to say they eat, shed skins, ect ect as healthy snakes should .
I think he is a she as they show no sign of mating at all. I am afraid to probe him by myself in case I will injure him.
