Types of boas (part 1)

Boa refers to any animal within the family Boidae, these animals are generally new world and give live birth, unlike pythons. These all are, of course, nonvenomous. Boas range from sand boas to anacondas to amazon tree boas. Female boas are very likely to be bigger (sometimes significantly bigger) than males. I will breakdown posts by genus.

Boa genus:

This genus includes the 2 species (or some consider boa imperator a subspecies of boa constrictor) of boa "constrictors", red tailed boas and common boas, both species are called both, but generally Boa constrictors are red tails and Boa imperators are commons. Boas are nocturnal animals. They are usually solitary, except for mating. Afterwards, they will give birth to up to 60 young, which will be ready to go in minutes. They usually live on the ground, but are excellent swimmers and climbers. In the wild they can live up to 30 years, but in captivity they can live up to 40. When young, they will eat things like rodents, but as adult will eat things like monkeys and deer.

Boa constrictor:

This is your typical beautiful boa "constrictor" with that bright red tail. They do not have true morphs, only localities. Different localities are different sizes and are usually between 5-12 feet in length but the longest I believe was 14 feet. Their weight is generally 20-35 pounds although up to 100 pounds has been seen before.

The localities are:

Surinamese

Guyanese

Venezuelan

-Apure

-Bolivan

Brazilian

Belem

Peruvian

-Iquitos

-Pucallpa

Trinidad

Colombian

Juvenile Peruvian Pucallpa locality Boa constrictor

Adult Suriname locality Boa constrictor

Boa imperator:

These guys are the ones that morph into beautiful variety of colors and patterns. The morphless still have red tails, but it's not quite like the the true red tails. Along with morphs they also have localities too. They are average smaller than constrictors and usually are 4-8 feet in length but can reach up to 12. They are usually around 13 pounds.

The localities are:

Belize

-Crawl Cay

-Caulker Cay

Colombia

-Barranquilla

-Peters type B

Honduras

-Hog Island

-Roatan

Mexico

-Tarahumara Mountains

-Sonoran

-Tamaulipas

-Cancun

Nicaragua

Corn Island

Costa Rican

Panamanian

Ecuadorian

El Salvadorian

Venezuelan

-Paraguayan Peninsula Boa

Adult Belizean Crawl Cay locality Boa imperator

Juvenile Hog Island locality boa imperator

Adult Sonoran locality boa imperator

The morphs are:

Albino (Argentine) R

Albino (Caramel-hypo) R

Albino (Central) R

Albino (Costa Rican) R

Albino (Kahl) R

Albino (Prodigy) R

Albino (Sharp) R

Albino (VPI) R

Anerythristic (RDR Black Eye) R

Anerythristic (Type 1) R

Anerythristic (Type 2) R

Arabesque ID

Aztec ID

Black R

Blood R

Coral Albino (this ones honestly a mystery)

Cyclone ID

Fire ID

Flamingo Pastel D

Hypo ID

IMG ID

Inca ID

Jaguar R

Jungle ID

Keltic ID

Key West ID

Kraken ID

Kubsch Pastel D

Labyrinth ID

Leopard R

Monster Tail D

Motley (Argentine) ID

Motley (Central American) ID

Motley (Colombian) ID

Onyx ID

Paradox D

Pastel Dream D

Pink Panther D

Raptor ID

RC Pastel D

Redrum Pastel D

Reverse Stripe R

Roswell Laddertail ID

Salmon Hypo D

Scoria ID

Square Tail R

Sterling R

Striped Tail R

Summit Pastel D

Sunset D

Super Stripe R

I labeled them all D, ID, or R for dominant, incomplete dominant, or recessive. Dominant is where it only needs 1 of the gene to show and 1 and 2 genes look the same, incomplete dominant is where 1 gene and 2 genes look different, and recessive is where it needs 2 genes to show. Recessives with 1 gene look like their other morphs and are considered heterozygous. They have to be breed to another boa with 1 or 2 of the same recessive genes to make visual or het babies. Recessive or het adults bred to non visual or het adults can make het babies too.

Health issues with morphs: some morphs can have health issues that always or sometimes come with them. There may be more than this.

Albino: eye deformities

Super motley: doesn't survive to adulthood

Super jungle: can't reproduce

Super aztecs: coordination issues

Juvenile (possibly a newborn) sharp albino boa imperator

Sub adult scoria boa imperator

Newborn eclipse (leopard and Colombian motley) boa imperator

Boa constrictors are commonly kept as pets. They are active, alert, and usually tolerate handling well. They are harder to keep than snakes like ball pythons and most colubrids, but not extremely difficult like some snakes.

Hog Island Boas are ready for their new homes!

Our 2020 Hog Island Boas are ready for their new homes! We finally found some time to take some pictures of the boas.

Hog Island Boas are ready for their new homes!

These boas are naturally hypo in color, featuring orange tail saddles with clean, background color, and light speckling. “Hog’s” as they’re affectionately called by keepers, are unique in the way they can vary in coloration.…
