I acquired
Female #1 on 11/12/08. She was only about 3' long and
quite thin. She is eating frozen thawed and growing fast.
She has some light colored banding on the tail end. This photo
was taken shortly after I got her. She looks better now.
The 2nd female was acquired from a friend on 03/06/09. The male 004 was acquired at the Myrtle Beach Show in July 2011. .

AD Male (Very Old) C-EWDB-001-M |
|
This male was in a group I purchased from a friend when he was selling his
collection. I'm told, the breeding that produced this male, was an
accidental breeding, that happened sometime around 1990, maybe
earlier. So, he is getting quite old. Supposedly, a
male of one specie, escaped his cage, and got into the cage with a female
of the other specie, and they bred. Anyway, he was over 4' long
when I got him on 01/18/99. He is now over 5' long and 4.5"-
5" in diameter. He eats F/T.

CB'99 Female Rhi-001-F |
|
This female was purchased as a baby on 05/17/99. She is 10 years old and only about 2.5' long. I don't know if she is a dwarf, or if I just didn't feed her enough when she was young. I started feeding her larger meals a few years ago and she is still growing, so maybe she will eventually get big. She is one of the prettiest Gaboon's I have seen, showing a lot of pink and light cream markings. She eats F/T. . |
