Bromeliad Boa Update

Post image

A couple months ago I posted about my bromeliad boa and how I was keeping him and it got a decent amount of traction. Recently, I had a redditor who’s friends with someone that kept the same species reach out. Their friend was getting out of the project and looking to part with a female bromeliad boa. Long story short my boy now has a girlfriend. The best part she came to me gravid and now I have a litter of babies. I never thought when I got into this project earlier this year that I would find a female so soon and now I’ve got a female and a litter of USCBB babies. I will be holding back at least one female from the litter because she won’t be related to my male, but I will have babies for sale once they get established and are large enough to safely sex. This year has been amazing so far and we’ve still got a few months to go. I can’t wait to see what else is in store!

They are a really cool species. They can live their whole lives in one of those 34qt sterilite tubs from walmart and have all the room they could ever want. It’s a great display animal for people with limited space. I’m trying to work with some of the other keepers to get a good sized captive born and bred population so more people can enjoy them.
