The land of fire & ice
Hi
Iīm from Iceland and I just got my first Boa Constrictor it is a 9 month old female, I also own a male Fire Ball Python that I have had for almost 4 years now, all snakes are illegal here in Iceland, so they are rather expensive and rare in my country.
I also want to ask you members if you can tell me whatīs the subspecies of my Boa?
And also what is a good name for a female Boa, my Ball Python's name is Tiny

Re: The land of fire & ice
Welcome!
ALL snakes are illegal?! Wow, that sucks. Especially for a country where pretty much no snake would ever live if it did get free. I wonder why they have such a strict control on them.

Re: The land of fire & ice
Everyone seems to be skirting around the issue here so here goes, if snakes are illegal to own in your country why do you have them? In doung so you are affecting snake owners everywhere.
You are also advertising the fact you are breaking the law on a public forum, not the best idea.
Anyways, welcome.

Re: The land of fire & ice
Thanks for the welcome, the main reason for the ban on reptiles here in Iceland is:
#1 The government is afraid itīs going to lead to a salmonella pandemic 
#2 They are afraid that the reptiles will escape from their cages and multiply in our nature
Btw, the air temperature is probably below -0c for 8-9 months a year here

Re: The land of fire & ice
Welcome, I can't say that I am shocked that it is illegal since the government everywhere continues to control each and every action we do, but that's a whole different topic.
Once again welcome to the forums, as far as a name goes....I have a hard time coming up with them for my personal collection much less being able to give advice for naming others lol.....good luck to you, and she is beautiful

There are political links between iceland and europe, it has a dirrect affect on me.
And in terms of my mother, she taught to tell the truth and that is what i do, are you suggesting we should all support illegal practices as long as they arent in our own country?
