We picked up a Boaphile tank for her in Chicago this weekend and she seems very happy. We snapped a few pics of her in it. She is deep in shed.

I think its in there for us *the viewers* to get a feel on how big the snake is.

4 out of 5 snakes prefer cherry coke to cherry pepsi. :D

SWEET snake. I'm trying to locate some Argentines in Canada. Thus far unsuccessful.

Burm41 had it right the can is just there to show her size.

I'm really happy with the tank so far. She is a great snake too.

Those are some very nice pics of an awesome snake.......I hate to bring up a negative point, but is that an uncovered heat bulb I see in the cage? An exposed bulb in any cage is a burn incident waiting to happen.

Yeah it is but it is on a reostat and is only turned up to about 1/4 of the way. There is actually a built in heat pad but on full it only goes up to about 81F. I use the bulb as a second source to get her warm spot up to ~90F. With the heat bulb turned on that low I don't think it will be a problem.

I would like to know if it is on a reostat and is turned that low if anybody thinks it will be a problem.

couldn't she crush the bulb if she curls around it? I would be afraid of that........Nice snake.

Yeah, a bulb cage would be a good idea, just in case. A big boa like that could easily dislodge the bulb and cut itself on the glass or electocute itself through the socket.

I forgot how often aregentines like to imitiate GTP and curl up on things in the air. I think the snake is safe from harm as far as that bulb goes.

Beautiful argentine, and awesome home for her. I just bought a 3 month old one last weekend, and I can't wait till she grows up.
