This is a pic of the Surinam that I got a few months ago from some guy that was really an idiot who had written her off. She was in such bad shape, hadn't fed properly for god knows how long and was badly dehydrated as well. I got some food into her ( she never refuses) and got her rehydrated.
She was also reputed to be a nipper but other than opening her mouth at me the very first time I handled her, she has been as sweet as they come. She is doing great and filling right out.
I could play her ribs like a zylophone when she first got here though. She had a mate that died and she was on her way to the same fate until I came along.
I have been both pleased with her progress and happy to have the opportunity to get such a beautiful snake. I just can't believe that anyone would not want her. The pic does no justice to her at all. She is my first boa as well. I'd have to say that I really lucked out on this one. :D
