boa constrictor

my little brother has some kind of boa constrictor and i was wondering what kind it is. its about 7 foot long. if anyone thinks they know what kind it is please tell.

surely your brother would know himself what snake he bought?

some guy gave the boa to my cousin and he sold it to us to replace my little brothers ball python that escaped. while he was cleaning his room for the bigger cage he found a box of toy cars and his ball python was inside of em. so we have 2 snakes.

burmese python?

i hear they are taking over florida. no known predators.

yeah looks like you got a python

btw watch out it may eat your ball python. mine did, they both got out one night the ball got munched. mine got to 11 ft before i had to get rid of it

i dont believe it is a python because it doesn't have the infrared sensing pits.

It's a red tail boa.

could be a rattler.

i think its a python, i've had 6 diff ones, boas heads are more pointy and angular at the tip. not to sure on the markings, could be another python

could just be a bad pic is its rounded at the nose?

ahhh.. k.. i always wondered what people do when they have a snake like that that outgrows your home.. i would be super nervous having something like that around my house, but that's just me..

some people are dicks and drop them off in the woods or swap thats why they are running wild in FL.
