Freaked the FRICK outta me.....

[Jeff_Favelle]

Almost pulled a McRobbie! LOL!

Pulled the bin out to see if this female albino boa had completed her shed so I could feed her. Sure enough, she had finished and was just WAITING for me! Zoomed right past my hand and WAILED the rat just 2 inches beside it on the tongs. Insane. From now on, I use the hook to open this rack up! LOL!

At least I get to take a pic of a snake I've never photographed before, LOL!

Haha, nice! :D

[Tim_Cranwill]

LMAO!!! Been there... though not with a snake THAT big and strong! :D

[csolis]

Thats crazy!!!! I got tagged on the eyebrow the other day by a yearling jungle carpet, did'nt think it was hungry, guess I thought wrong!!

[Tim and Julie B]

The exact same thing happened to my Jeff only it was at chest height so I damn near got it in the face. Brady Barr style. That snake is usually calm too. Needless to say it further down now about waste height. Wait a sec that might not be the best idea either..........;) TB

[Jeff_Favelle]

On the eye-brow! Holy crap man! I would have had a heart attack, LOL! Too bad it wasn't on film man, LOL!

Tim, I'll get you into big, strong snakes soon en.......er......Tim, I'll get you into boas soon enough. ;)

[Simon]

LOL!!
Well you sure are lucky enough not to get tagged like that
Getting a hit from a beauty like that must hurt, plus with no mental preparations at all~
LOL!!!

[Jeff_Favelle]

Ha ha Simon, I probably would have had cardiac arrest. Especially when its 2am and I'm just plodding along feeding the last of the charges... LOL!

[beanersmysav]

haha nice pic that is a beautiful snake too.

[chappy]

Sweet boa Jeff! I still haven't got nailed by a boa over 4' yet (knock on wood)!!! Has that boa been watching Red Green, looks like a roll of duct tape in there with her. :p

[ChunkyMunky]

It does look like duct tape, but i think it is a small plastic container with a hole cut in the lid.

[HumphreyBoagart]

Thanks alot Jeff!!!
Not 5 minutes after reading this post. (2 minutes ago)
I went into my snake room to see if there was any wild-monkey dancin' going down, and I went to change the water in one of my female surinams enclosure, and the little (or big, depends how you look at it) B%$@# tagged me on the wrist. She has never shown any aggression at all before and I just fed her 3 jumbo rats yesterday, so she shouldn't still be hungry. Wasn't too bad, she let go right away but her tooth took a second to come out of my wrist. Surprised me though. My hearts a poundin' now. So either you jinxed me or she's pi$$ed at me about the Avril thing too. LOL : )

[SnakeyeZ]

Jeff, guess you left with all your fingers this time...always next week..hook might be best indeed lol! (let us know how it goes)

[Jeff_Favelle]

Chappy, you're due man....you're due........ ;)

Holy cow Humphrey!!! How much bloooood???

[HumphreyBoagart]

Four drops. one for each tooth! The one that was stuck in there was bleeding a bit more. I've had baby balls draw more blood. It was more the surprise of it. I already told her that she's going to be paying for any touch-ups to the tattoos though! : )

-edit to avoid double post-
Nice Albino by the way. Do you or anyone else on here know if anyone has or is working on an Albino BCC project? I read awhile ago about someone breeding an albino BCI to a BCC to try and get some going but that's just not right. I want a PURE BCC albino.

[Jeff_Favelle]

I think the Barkers are close to getting some litters. Give Dave or Tracy an email, they are SUPER nice people. Some of the BEST in the biz!

Has that boa been watching Red Green, looks like a roll of duct tape in there with her.


Red Green ROCKS man!!!!! LOL! Ha ha, its just my water dish though. I keep the lids on. Prevent a LOT of spills. Works wonders for colubrids and BP's. Its so-so for boas. The bigger boas get a tub to soak in. They never seem to use them though. Once every year or so in the summer time. Rare though.

Cheers! :)

[HumphreyBoagart]

If you could send me their email address through pm or email that would be awesome!
Thanks Man,
Hump.

Boas will fool you with their normal pleasant temperment but everything changes once the scent of food is in the air, as I found out for myself. LOL

As you can see, I wasn't even close to dodging this bite. I love the feeding response, no dangling or slap feeding required. lol!

Sweet albino too, bright as hell!

[Jeff_Favelle]

OOOOUUUWWWWWWCH!!!!!! LOL! Holy moly, I've had a few of those in my day as well. More shock than actual pain. But surprising amounts of bruising too!

[paulsreef]

Wasn't there some guy a couple of weeks ago that said he liked getting bit. Maybe he cursed us.

[HumphreyBoagart]

Good ol' VI Reptiles likes getting bit by his 30ft Afrock!!! LOL
Damn he got banned and put a curse on us all!!!
We're all doomed! LOL!!!

[RepTylE]

On the bright side, she has terrific aim, Jeff.

[T-boid]

That`ll teach ya...lol, they`re so fast aren`t they!

[D J N]

Can someone say agressive feeder?
