Some pictures of my Argentine Rainbow Boa I only got her a couple of days ago so forgive the lack of any super quality pictures

She's a beauty. Very pretty....what have you called her? She deserves a very lovely exotic name

 

[jayjay10125]

Jury is still out on the name, open to suggestions

She's absolutely gorgeous! I love that species.

Thanks for sharing your photos!

 

[jayjay10125]

Took some better ones, and thanks

 

[Corrinoco]

Beautiful!

are you sure it an argentine, ?

think i saw this one advertised for sale online recently,when was looking for a mate to mine,

the ones i've previously seen have a lot lighter coloured sides

 

[jayjay10125]

Well I will confess to be totally new to rainbow boa's but it was advertised as one

Argentine Rainbow Boa - Snakes - Livestock - Blue Lizard Reptiles - Reptile Shop

 

[patterkillar]

that the one i saw.

will try and get a photo of mine on here to compare

 

[patterkillar]

with the long line on the side under the saddles it dose resemble a Paraguayan rainbow boa

 

[jayjay10125]

Okay thanks

I see what you mean @ paraguayan rainbow after looking at a few pictures, I did my research but very much new to the rainbow and would love to see your Argentine to compare .. thanks!

 

[patterkillar]

what ever it is , still a great looking snake

 

[jayjay10125]

She sure is - I am having the shop double check but while comparing pictures it's obviously a paraguayan rainbow boa from what I can see so far

As the care requirements pretty much the same? and did I get a good deal by paying Argentine rainbow boa prices for a paraguayan rainbow boa or the other way around

Thanks everyone for your comments and tips - turning out interesting!

 

[patterkillar]

not the greatest photos, she would not keep still
but they show the colour difference, and the back/side pattern

 

[jayjay10125]

It would explain a lot including why mine is so thick as I respect the Argentine is the "slender rainbow boa" thank you so much, looking into this but seeming like you're right!

 

[patterkillar]

dose the thick part of the snake seem more towards the back half.

is the snake male or female ?

 

[jayjay10125]

Female

This is probably the best body shot I have (at the moment anyway)
