Sunglow and a hypo. My first boas and absolutely stunning in person- Love them both.
Got to spend some time at the sellers house to see some amazing animals. Some puppydog tame and one batshit crazy, big guy who literally attacked the plexiglass door of its cage when i got too close lol

Those are both beautiful boas Josh but that sunglow is the cat's meow :). Congrats on the awesome new additions!

Nice additions! Make sure to post some post-shed pics of that hypo if it hasn't shed already! It's got some great color even for being in a blue phase.

Thanks everyone. I'll definitely be posting lots of pictures. After they're all settled in. The seller said they're due for a meal but i know we're supposed to hold off from handling and feeding but i don't want them to go too long without a meal... What do y'all think?
Beautiful new additions. Good luck with them and I look forward to more pics.
Very nice pickups! I personally never feed something in shed and always wait at least 5 days before offering food to anew addition.

I wouldn't worry about when they were last fed at all. I wait a minimum of 6-7 days after arrival to offer food, and like Andy I don't feed snakes in shed (if I know they're in shed if they'll even actually take the food).
Babies aren't as hardy as adults, but baby boas can still go a long time without food, so no need to worry about them taking some time off of food. I feed my boa constrictors under 1 year every 10-14 days and they do just fine on it. So, they eat more often than an adult but less often than you would think.

Beautiful additions :D. I try to avoid feeding in shed as well, however I do offer food quite quickly after getting the snakes!
