Well hess been feeding great and everything. But still anytime you got to see him hes under something hiding. Thats normal???? I'd think he'd like the open cause i love to hold him. Also he hasent pooped since i got him at the show 1 month ago. Born on july 3rd. i feed him 2 hoopers on sundays . any ideas???

Also I'd like to know if anyone kows where hes from cause he looks a lot like them guyanese boas on the next topic, and my dad is from gyuana. That would be a good first line for my dad when I'm intruducing him..... Don't worry dad... hes from guyana. LOL. Pics In Pro.

Assuming that is your boa in your avatar I would say he looks like a good old colombian boa(bci). Snakes like to hide(completely normal) and could really care less to be handled. Your snake could probably take down an adult mouse instead of 2 hoppers and I also reccomend feeding him thawed or freshly killed food Items because a live prey item can injure your snake(I know that may sound crazy to someone new to keeping snakes but it does happen.) The differences between bcc(boa constrictor constrictor) and bci(boa constrictor imperator) are bcc are much more expensive, have much more speckling on there belly, lower saddle count, seem to grow alot slower, more of a arrowshaped head, much more of a red tail that doesn't faded with age(that is why bcc are also called true red tails). The bcc group consists of guyana's, suriname's,trinadad,brazillians and peruvian's. the bci group consists of colombian, mexican,clouded,corn island, hog island,ecuador,nicaragua and quite a few more. Hope this helps ya bit and enjoy your boa they are awesome snakes.
