new additions!

[Clownfishie]

Well, at long last I've finally got myself a pair of BCI's :) They're something that's been on my list for a while, but I just never managed to find the right ones... until the FVHS show last weekend! ;) There were lots of beauties there to choose from, and I had a hard time making a decision... but, here's the two I came home with!


First, here's the female, Shallah -- purchased from David Kwok (thanks David! She's great :))...

David had another really nice female at the table, with more pink, and a bit of a brighter tail... but, in the end, I couldn't resist how clean this girl was... lol... I've got this thing for clean boas :p


And here's the male... Desmond/Desi (haven't quite decided yet... lol....)... purchased from Linda @ Snake Land Gate -- she had a great table at the show with all sorts of snakes on display that the kids could come up and hold -- and almost hidden on a corner of the table were these 3 awesome male boas... I had a heck of a time making a decision, let me tell you! They all looked great... but, here he is :)

The pics don't do him justice really, but they're the best I've got so far. LOL. I love his eyes, they're sort of pink-ish on top, it's pretty wild looking... and his saddles are this cool brick red colour...


Both of them seem to be settling in well, and took their first meal of f/t rat pups a couple nights ago :) From the little that I held them on Saturday, they seemed quite calm... hopefully they stay that way!


Anyways, thanks for looking -- and sorry for all the pics :p

Nice! I like the female best!

Soon you'll be keeping snakes in every part of your apartment up to the ceiling if you keep adding more! You have no self control Bowels. No self control at all I tell you. :P :P :P

Marisa

[Clownfishie]

LOL Marisa! Yeah, that about covers it :p Self control is definitely not a strength of mine, especially when it comes to herps... lol... soon, the furniture is going to start finding itself out on the curb to make room for more cages :p LOL...

Thanks though ;)


Jen

[foman]

They look great Jen, Hope you had fun on our fieldtrip;) ,The female is real nice but the males tail is smokin':cool:, Almost looks bcc.

[Kyle Walkinshaw]

Is that male a colombian bci, I didn't think the tails got that RED on bci's!!! WICKED additions!! :) Congrats!

[Tim_Cranwill]

Nice boas and GREAT photos! :)

Very impressive....

[Clownfishie]

Thanks Fo! And yeah, I had an awesome time, for sure ;)

Kyle, thanks! His tail is pretty crazy, eh? But yes, to the best of my knowledge he's definitely a bci...

Tim -- lol, thanks :) The pics turned out ok, I'm sure I'll have them out for another photo session as soon as they've settled in a bit more though... what can I say, I'm pic crazy :p


Jen

[Jeff_Favelle]

You have no willpower whatsoever!!!! LOL!!

KILLEER boas! :D

[David Kwok]

Great photos Clownfishy! good luck with the little female, don't hesitate to feed her like a Favelle, she is a year old and has been starved for the first year. Thats how I do all my boas :)

Dave

[Linds]

Both VERY pretty snakes! Congrats! :D

[Clownfishie]

LOL Jeff -- I know, I know... this is why trips to your house are extremely hazardous to my pocketbook :p

Dave, don't worry, I'll be feeding her like there's no tomorrow ;) You wouldn't happen to know her birth date, would you? I always like to have that stuff in my records, if I can...

Linds, thanks :D


Jen

[Katt]

Great looking boas!! Love the male!!

Would Linda be an old lady with glasses who'z really into her snakes, with tat's on her wrists??

[Leviathan]

Lookin' good Jen!!! You forgot to mention though that it was my incredible eye and snake picking talent that helped you choose the male. Ya that's right, I'm taking at least... hmmm... 75% of the credit for that handsome fella'. :) Did you post pics of Luna (or whatever your calling her) or is she just not good enough next to those stunning boas, lol.

Alecia

Ps. It was great getting to see you!

[Clownfishie]

Thanks Katt! And yes, that would be Linda... lol. Definitely a talkative older lady with glasses... I didn't notice any tats, but then again I wasn't really looking... I was too busy looking at the snakes. LOL.

Alecia, of course, you were a great help ;) It was great seeing you too! And, if you'll make your way to the lampro forum, you'll find Luna, and her boyfriend ;)


Jen

[proud2bcanadian]

WOW! they're beautiful!

[Melly18]

*Drools* Those are some nice looking boas you got there Jen! Congrats on your new addition and great pics!

[Clownfishie]

Thanks guys :D

[Optimus Prime]

I love the pics what kinda camera you use for those pics?

[Invictus]

Those are INCREDIBLE!

[Katt]

Linda is such a funny old lady! I certainly miss the BC herpers. Hopefully we can make it to the next BC show.

[Simon]

Nice addition~!
I can see why you can't resist~
they're awesome~!

[Clownfishie]

Thanks Optimus :) It's a Sony Cybershot DSC-50.... it was top of the line when I got it, but that was a good 4 years ago ;) I don't even think they make this model anymore. But, it's a pretty awesome camera -- I'm still very happy with the pics it takes, even 4 years later. It's got a really good macro feature, which was my big thing when I was looking for a camera...

Hope that helps, and thanks again :)
Jen

[Clownfishie]

Thanks Ken & Simon! :)

Katt, that would be awesome! I'll definitely be there again next year for the FVHS one, although I don't know if I'll be able to make it to any others before then... we'll see though. Maybe next time we can actually meet instead of me figuring out who you are and then not saying hi because I turned all shy... lol...


Jen

[HetForHuman]

Really nice babies you got there Jen..

Good luck with them :)

Whats next now? I think it would have to be a pair of Hog Islands no? ;)

[Clownfishie]

Thanks Tim! And lol... for sure, they're at the top of the list... the question is whether I buy what I SHOULD buy, which is mates for a couple of my single snakes, or what I WANT to buy, which is the hogs :p LOL...


Jen

[HetForHuman]

HOGS, HOGS, HOGS....LOL

[Clownfishie]

Hahha... Tim, you're supposed to encourage me to be responsible and pair up my other animals before I go getting into new species... not be a bad influence! :p

[Leviathan]

Jen you know you want Hogs more... You just told me you Hate me cause I'm getting more :)
