Yes Brian ,,,,, wonderful boas again ..... cool breeding information and facts from u fellow snakeman ,,,, Enjoy the holidays and the new years with plenty of football action. 'and the NBA '
Love to listen to your knowledge. There is definitely passion. And my boa is like a puppy dog. And even if you have to lough, she's a friend of mine. Love 💕 for al misunderstood animals
Thank you for the great videos Brian! I am a huge fan and would like to end up with one of your beautiful red tails someday. I have been keeping boas for a long time now but just got to where I'm ready to attempt breeding. As a matter of fact, I just put my first pair together and he hasnt quit trying yet lol. Happy holidays!!
Brian great info as always. Could you include the age when you give a description of type of boa in the pop up? Thank again for time you take to educate.
me and my dad recently got two BCIs, one female one male. the male is mine and hes the one i spend the most time with and he’s calmed down so fast! looking forward to seeing how big they both get in the years to come.
@@JK-vy8vh I'm under the impression females are more valuable for their potential breeding value and are kept back more often. I do no breed but I just happen to have females.
Is two the point of diminishing returns, or are there people who (reasonably) go as far as three males in a breeding season to ensure all of the eggs are fertilized? And would one want to go in order of preference on the breeder male, hoping that the less desirable sire would only get whatever the more desirable sire missed?
@@BrianBoas right, but if you're breeding pure localities, you'll know the offspring are all pure regardless of who the father is, which is what really matters, isn't it? Obviously it's different in morphs, but if you introduced the suriname makes to a suriname female, you know the offspring will be suriname. Unless you'd charge more for one suriname sire over another?
The weight could be all over the place from less than a pound to more than 10 pounds depending on how much it was fed. The important question is whether it's body proportions are unhealthy- obese, etc.
Hello brother..please reply.. I brought a Suriname Female boa 6 months ago. Very healthy snake. I brought Suriname thinking its gonna be a massive snake. Because i wanted the biggest boa. But rightnow im worried because your Suriname is smaller than i thought. So my question is... is that the real size of Adult Suriname? If its not then how big it gets normally?
A typical size for adult males is 5-7 feet, females 6-8 feet. Some get bigger or smaller than this range depending on genetics and diet. So no, your snake is not going to be massive like a Burmese or retic python.
I think it depends on a number of factors friend. For example, I believe some same-locality boas have less tolerance for larger and more frequent meals than others. The true red tail boas from Suriname and Guyana get bigger than the Colombian Boa, and his female Guyana boa was much larger than his female Suriname boa who was 6 years old I believe. However, my Suriname is now roughly 4 years old, and as large as his 6 year old Suriname is. I think it is safe to say a female Suriname boa can range anywhere from 6-10 feet with there being select outliers on both sides. Mine is around 4 1/2-5 feet currently.
Well if I'm reading correctly subject was male or female? And I swear I watched the entire Video and the whole time he was speaking of the pros and cons of each... maybe you didn't understand the title, or the English language he was speaking?
Dear Brian, I absolutely love your channel. Thanks to you I am learning more and more about these wonderful animals that I'd like to keep and care for one day. I would like to ask you a question, though. Based on what I learned from you, female BCI can get to 7-8 ft. Therefore, would you consider a female common boa unsuitable for a first-time keeper? I know that Colombian boas can make wonderful pet snakes and I would love a larger snake. Nevertheless, I need a snake I can handle on my own, as I live alone now. Thank you for everything.
Interesting video , I just ended up with male boa since I do not plan on breeding but , I did meet my hog island parents and I was in shock that the male and female where both around 4 feet each. I figured the female would be a little longer. So I do not expect my Male to get any bigger than 4 feet fully grown.
Just wanted to let you know that you're getting better in front of the camera every day!
Thanks!

Watching this with my arabesque 100% het kahl albino male bci on the couch. Love the vids. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Will do!

Ok when applicable

No mention of the little packets of "fun" males can leave behind? :P
I’d like a female bc everyone always has a make 90% of the time.
@@JK-vy8vh I'm under the impression females are more valuable for their potential breeding value and are kept back more often.
I do no breed but I just happen to have females.
@@ALAPINO that’s why I got a female bc ppl breed tf outta them. Anery Colombian boa (bci).
Love this channel.
Thanks!
I've been wondering, but it always seemed silly to ask ha ha. Pretty interesting about using 2 males to breed with 1 female. thanks!
No worries!
have had both male and female only bit when feeding. Great snake.
Is two the point of diminishing returns, or are there people who (reasonably) go as far as three males in a breeding season to ensure all of the eggs are fertilized? And would one want to go in order of preference on the breeder male, hoping that the less desirable sire would only get whatever the more desirable sire missed?
I've never heard of that; most breeders only use one male per female. It can be hard to tell who the daddy if you use more than one. ;)

It is useful to know the exact parentage of each animal so you can avoid inbreeding in the future.
@@BrianBoas That makes sense, thank you.
brian i have got a boa constrictor albino jungle het anery ( female) at about 3 years .. and my quistion is what should the normale weight be on it
The weight could be all over the place from less than a pound to more than 10 pounds depending on how much it was fed. The important question is whether it's body proportions are unhealthy- obese, etc.
@@BrianBoas ok and thanks .. it´s about 3 1/2 feet now and weights 980 grams so maybe i can increase the weight a bit.
That sounds about right or maybe a bit on the small side.

A large gardener snake😂
Very cool!
What about sexual differences like horny males going off feed during the winter and females passing slugs?
JOKE: Use multiple males per one female. You can have the female go on Maury to see who the baby daddy is!😂😂
Good information, but I feel you heavily got off subject.
Well if I'm reading correctly subject was male or female? And I swear I watched the entire Video and the whole time he was speaking of the pros and cons of each... maybe you didn't understand the title, or the English language he was speaking?

It can be if you have the right setup and have done your preparation get ready to care for it. Good luck and thanks for supporting my channel.
Thank you for the advice, Brian. Keep up the amazing work!

Your Guayanas are stunning, Brian 👌🏼
Thanks!
Yup thats for sure. 👍
Using two males with one female...I can scarcely imagine the arguments over child support and joint custody! Do they ever end up on Maury Povich? 😜
Ha ha; it's a good thing boas don't have the same drama level as humans!
Those are bcc correct
Yes some of them
Really shocked that female Suriname is that small. I may be incorrect but is it true female Surinames CAN reach upwards of 10-12ft?
Yes but humans CAN grow to 7-8 feet tall. How often do you see that?
@@BrianBoas I have a Young (roughly 3-4 year old) Wild caught Suriname do wild caught animals tend to grow larger then captive or not
Depends on the individual animal, but typically not
