Default Honduran Boa from Hamm, Eating.

Hm, well, i got my Honduran boa from hamm last month. And hadnt had much luck with feeding her.

She seemed interested all the time, striking at the fuzz or pink etc..
Yet she would just ignore it after she constricted. and would leave it.
So today i tried a different approach.
I got her to strike and constrict.
i then pulled the tail to act as if it were alive.
She constricted even more.
but even after that, she started showing signs of moving away.
so i got her out of the tub, put her on my bed. and she decided to start eating.
Heres pics of my baby.

Would have taken some last week, but parents in France, sisters camera sucks, mums camera is amazing.

She's stunning, and really calm snake.

Did you buy her as a honduran boa from a reputable source? She looks like a common BCI to me. Perhaps because I have only ever seen very average melanistic specimens in person... but in all the accounts I have read about this locale they are naturally hypermelanistic.

He appeared to be a reputable source, kept on pointing out to his big signs for his site and so on.
She has the firey type of belly.
Couldnt get pics of her underside, but when shes had a few days to digest i will.

Others have looked at her pics and said they believe her to be honduran and not common

to me it looks like a pretty classic looking hounduran,although you never can tell just from pic's.
the only naturally hypo hounduran i have heard of is the hog Island
