my first snake
Hello everyone,
i just bought my first snake 2 weeks ago and i love it. Its a juvenile columbian boa and i named him Bo. At first i was a little nervous when handling him but now he is like a son to me. The first time i fed him it was wierd cuz i hate mice they give me the creeps so i bought a frozen one and will train him to eat only frozen mice ( its safer i have read that live mice can scratch and bit ur snake).
Ok just wanted to say wassup

Re: my first snake
Instead of mice you need to switch your Boa over to rats a.s.a.p.

Re: my first snake
Hello and welcome. Congrats on the new snake! You are on the right path with the frozen but I would switch him over to rats as soon as possible. It will take a lot of mice to fill up a boa where as a xl rat would do the trick.
