View Full Version : New guy here
Hey guys I used to have alot of snakes growing up with my uncle and brother. Now that i have my own little family i have decided to get back into snakes and o boy have i missed them. Anyways I recently acquired a beautiful just under 2 year old male suriname RTB. After seeing my almost 5 year old daughter's absolute fascination with him we decided to find her a smaller more handleable snake. After looking at just about every snake possible she fell in love with a male rosy boa. The small hole in wall shop didnt know much about him but its the one she loved out of at least 20 different shops. I believe he is a year or so Bay of La limburg but i could be wrong.
Hope to meet some new people and learn as much as possible as i grow my snake collection hope i made the right choice joining these forums :)

I waited too to get back in the hobby until my youngest was about 13 or 14...really it's when we bought a bigger house. But he knew about my previous snakes and always to get some again. Well he's 21 now and moved out 3 years ago. He's got more than I got now lol. But it is fun to get back into it and bring your kids into it too. You're daughter is looking like the happiest girl in the world...snakes are great for bonding.

That's awesome. Yeah she knew about my snakes and even though shes barely turning 5 shes very responsible and showed a major interests in them. She has been keeping a closer eye on his humidity levels and heat levels better than I lmao.
Those are some nice snakes.
Thanks we have fell in love with them lol. Can anyone verify if the rosy is a Bay of la limburg?
im pretty sure the RTB is a true Suriname he came from a breeder that is highly referred near me but i could be wrong lol
