First Boa *Pics*

[capsicum]

Well, she arrived today, so while we were getting her setup, I snapped a few pics.

Not sure what she is (no one seems to know lol). But she's very nice and great personality.

Thanks for looking :)

What a pain it is to have to replace soaking wet newspaper only to have it soaked again minutes later after filling the water dish lol :D fortunately my BCI doesn't do that :D

[bighillreptiles]

my mistake i thought you ment dumping in the watter lol

[capsicum]

Yeah I have to replace her dish, I was using a corner-style dish, which she would drink from the back (instead of the lowered front, lol). So, I will get her a nice big heavy crock for her water lol.

I use large flower potbaces for all of my snales they are easy to cleen and they dont tip over that easy

[capsicum]

Great idea Paul, I will try that :D

[HeRpZ03]

Never thought of using those as water dishes, what are the depths of the flower pot bases? I think i might give that a try as well :D

Congrats on the first boa! She is a real looker. Take care.

you can get them up to 5" and 24" accros i think are the largest i have found ,cant find the oix will look for it tomorow after the hospital appoitment

She's very nice looking... like the chocolate tones. I use the large glazed ceramic dog dishes for my large boids. I use the flower pot bases with nothing bigger than a gecko. I find them too shallow, and they evaporate before the day ends, and are tipped too easily by the big guys. I use 3" for the gecko, and 12" for one of my snakes because I haven't replaced it yet.

Thank you Linds :) She is such a pretty girl...Of course, I am biased :p

But she is deffinately not a salmon, even though right in our home her previous owner insisted that she was (I couldn't help but laugh). At least the price doesn't reflect what a salmon would cost ;)

Yes, those large ceramic dishes are what I use most. I have to steal the big one from my cats and use it for her, since I don't really want to replace the newspaper many times per day, simply because she knocked her water dish :rolleyes:

:D

Decided on a name for her, Hershey :D Have two pics of her while she was exploring her enclosure (even though it was the one her previous owners used, lol). Gives an idea of what she looks like spread out, and why I was a fool to use that particular what dish ;)
