Selling Marge the Orange Tail Hypo Boa

Larry — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 18:34:55 +0000

Well, I have decided to sell Marge, my 03′ Orange Tail Hypo Boa. As a joke, I called her Marge after a friend and the name stuck. Now everyone calls this boa Marge.

She is a beautiful Pastel Orange Tail Hypo Boa or as some call pastel hypo’s, a Scarlet Hypo Boa. This boa has given me two amazing litters and the babies tuned out incredible. That is the main reason I am selling her. I kept some of her arabesque, hypo arabesque and possible super salmon jungle babies.

I did not breed her this season or last so she is more than ready to breed this fall. She is about 7ft or so and weighs around 20lbs. I feed her one or two F/T jumbo rats every three to four weeks and she never refuses a meal.

Here is Marge when she was gravid last:

Look at the links below to see pictures from her two litters. She produced some amazing babies!

I will be sorry to see this boa go. However, she will be a great addition to someone’s boa collection!

She’s Gonna Blow!!!

This is Marge. She is a Dubay Line Orangetail Hypo boa. As you can see, she is HUGE. Actually, the pictures in no way show how stuffed she really is. She still has about 2 weeks left. I can’t wait!!! She was bred with a really nice salmon jungle boa.

This is the same girl that produced my arabesque litter last year. She is twice as big as she was with that litter. Maybe twice the babies?

I was so happy with the babies she had last year. The color she passed on was amazing. With each shed those babies keep getting better. These babies should be even better!

2008 Boa Pairings

Larry — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 03:06:58 +0000

We had some ups and downs this boa breeding season. We were really bummed out with the results of a few litters, but really excited and happy with the others. We have one more female left to drop. This is the girl that produced the hypo arabesque babies last year. These should be some insane salmon jungle babies!

Here is a list of our 2008 boa pairings:

Het albino x coral albino – (11/30/2007) (POS 2/5/08) (Babies born 5/14/08 – 2 live albinos born but died the next day, 9 slugs) – The good news about this breeding is that the female proved out to be het albino.

Kahl albino x jungle het albino – (Introduced 11/30/2007) (Possible ovulation 2/5/2008) (NO POS) (Babies born 6/7/08) – We got some sweet albino jungle boas in this litter!

Dubay pastel x hog cross male – (11/30/2007) (Ovulated 2/15/08) (POS March 1st) (Babies born 6/12/08)

Big girl (normal) x arab male (added last week of Jan) (Maybe POS March 14 – very small ovulation) (Due June 27th) (slugged out June 21)

Dubay pastel x hypo – (Did not witness an ovulation or POS) (Babies born 7/1/2008)

Scarlet hypo x salmon jungle (introduced first week of Feb) (3/16 – starting to see swelling) (POS April 15) (Due July 29th) – I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS ONE!

Well, that’s it for this year. I did have a few other parings, but they didn’t take. Maybe this coming season.

Amazing Baby Boas

On August 18, 2007, our pastel hypo red tail boa which was bred with an arabesque male had babies. This was her first litter. She gave us twenty-six amazing babies. Five hypo arabesque, nine arabesque, four hypo, and eight normal babies. There were no slugs or still born.

Here she is in a dark phase…

Here’s a pile of baby red tails…

I was really amazed by this girls babies! Before they had their first shed, I could tell they were awesome.

Of the five hypo arabesque babies, I’m keeping two. A male and a female. Here’s a pre-shed picture of a hold back hypo arabesque…

Here’s a picture of an arabesque baby. Check out this guys tail…

This is a post shed picture of the hypo arabesque above. Notice how bright and clean she is…

These babies will make for some terrific future projects. Imagine the potential of these babies when injected into any project such as Arabesque Sunglows, use your imagination! We would love to hold all of these back, but just can’t keep everything. I guarantee, whomever ends up adding these animals into their collection will not be disappointed!
