Boas basic knowledge

 

Currently DBM has two boas, both males. We plan on getting a female in the future for our boas to get some nice specimen. Boas are the larger more common pet snake that are for a more experienced keeper due to size, high heat space, and humidity requirement. Boas are located in northern parts of south america all the way up to southern mexico.

Morphs

Boas are also available in many morphs such as our hypomelonistic (below left). We also have a boa with genetics that are unknown. (below right).
