Black- That's a boa constrictor. But yeah, anacondas are boas too, and it drives me nuts sometimes when you try to differentiate between two or more boa species. Their patterns are so much more elaborate than a python's. I think boa constrictors get up to 15 feet, so, this dude is pretty little still, lol.

Your little man is very adorable, I like him a lot. Beautiful colors, very healthy looking.

Usually male red tailed boas don't get over 10'.

How big is your baby, Jenaero?

Yep he's a common boa. Last time I measured he was 5.5ft. Might be closer to 6 now.

So cute! Mine is about 4.5' I think. He doesn't like being measured.
