Argentina Boa a dream come true.

I have been wanting one for years, but every time i would find one for sale it would turn out to be sold the day before. Or something would come up and i could come up with the money for what ever reason. After 10 years of some thing always going wrong when i try to get one i gave up on ever getting one.
Fast forward 5 years. So about 3 months ago i started seeing babies pop up every now and then on Craigslist. So after non response on 3 of them and two that had just sold before i contacted them. I gave up hope again. Then yesterday i seen a 3 footer for sale for $60.00. So after a little chit chat with the owner i picked her up today.

The 3 footer is more like just under 2 foot. She said she knew it was under a year old but not sure how old for sure. I am guessing 3 to 4 months tops. She only had it about a month when her landlord found out and told her she had two weeks to get rid of it. So after almost 16 years i finally have one.

I give you my white unicorn or if you ever seen "Gone in 60 Seconds" you know what i am talking about. Meet Eleanor. lol
Even thought all my snakes are named after super villains I think i might just name her Eleanor.












I will get more pictures once she settles in and eat for me. Was glad to her she eats F/T rat pups. She is sweet and mellow.

Re: Argentina Boa a dream come true.

Thank you all. I can't wait to get my camera fix so i can get some better picture that really show her color. She has such a sweet chocolate color to her. Plus i love how dark she is already for a baby.
