New Snake.

I was bad and went to the reptile expo today. I just can't have an empty enclosure can I? I've been interested in stepping up in size with my next snake. Girthy but manageable. I saw a table with boas and the ladies had the father of some of the baby BCIs out. I was so impressed by his size, patterns/colors and temperament that I purchased one of his offspring. I love how confident and calm this little salmon colored guy is and I am excited to see him reach his full size. No name yet.

Re: New Snake.

Very nice! I got my first boa a few months ago. He's awesome so far. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours.

Re: New Snake.

Gratz on the new beauty, Boa's are about the best handling snakes I've ever encountered. You'll certainly enjoy that one.

Re: New Snake.

Awww man I want a salmon BCI and you're not helping!! But I can't afford to house one now or an adult for that matter. It will have to wait awhile before I could get one. I'll have to live vicariously through you.

Oh yeah, nice snake.

Re: New Snake.

Nice pickup! Seems very calm, too.

As an aside, I'm surprised someone took a breeder to a show. All sorts of risks there, especially if there is no quarantine when he's returned home.

Re: New Snake.

Thanks again everyone. I'm working on setting his home up. My AC system has been out of commission so my apartment is a nice 83 degrees. Too hot for me but I don't think the snakes are complaining. When I open his enclosure he acts like I'm about to feed him but nothing a hook can't fix! Love how calm and slow he is!
