Boa c. longicauda was described in 1991 by Dr. Robert Price and my brother Paul Russo in a Japanese Scientific Journal called “ The Snake “. The Title of the description is “Revisionary Comments on the Genus BOA with the Description of a New Subspecies of Boa Constrictor from Peru “.
A beautiful jet black Boa with an almost blue irredescence on the head and body. At birth they appear to be very drab but by 6 months of age the black colors start showing thru. As adults they range from A blue/silver & grey with dark black saddles to an almost all black with charcoal grey/blue head. A highly variable snake . I have been breeding the darkest boas to each other to improve the Jet Black colors. Secondly, I am working with a few light yellow longtails and wish to improve on them. Also, I am working on a longtail boa with small specs of red on its sides. And Finally, I have a wonderfull Anerythristic Bloodline that dates back to thwe very first longtails imported to the US in 1989. The Anerythristic Gene is simple recessive & these Boas look outstanding as adukts. Some are Jet Black on pure white. Prices will be based on color and genetic back ground. Update 2023 - Hoping for a litter in August
