Talk:Red-tailed Boa

Size
how heavey are they

Much heavier for their length than the SE Asian pythons - because they have much thicker bodies. Whether this makes them stronger or not, I do not know. John Hill 11:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Photo
I have replaced the photo of a boy holding a boa constrictor (with difficulty) in Trinidad because I think it adds human interest and gives some idea of the size of the snake. If "The Red Cloud" had some particular reason for removing it recently, would he or she give their reasons please? John Hill 11:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It's your own personal picture man, it's not the place to publish your own pictures. I have hundreds of pictures of myself holding snakes, i'm not gonna put them up here just to add "human interest". added new one, more relevant to the article.The Red Cloud


 * Thanks for answering so promptly. Have it your way - it was the only photo of a boa constrictor that I had to contribute and I didn't think the one in the box was enough. I like the photo you have added - it is a good one, but I would suggest it should be made larger on the page as it is very difficult to see what is happening when it is such a small size - it was only when I expanded it that I could see that the snake was feeding.

 * Well, it is a personal photograph and such a picture just wouldn't be suitable for an encyclopedia article. But it doesn't seem any of these pictures show the B. constrictor in its natural habitat. It isn't a domesticated animal and these pictures need to be replaced with pictures of these snakes in their natural habitats without any obvious sign of human activity. --Victor 04:50, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
