New Boa

[Vishoen]

I brought this guy home from work last Sunday and moved him into a 40 gal wide tank. He's a BCI and is about 3.5 years old and if I were to estimate, over 3 feet long.

Today he took his first meal at home which puts me at ease since I had been told he's easily stressed and sometimes refuses meals for months at a time. When I started working with him I was warned he was aggressive but he's only tagged me once during the last few weeks I've been handling him. Seems to be underweight for his size though, I imagine due to his poor eating habits.. He only takes mice and ASFs, but will take a couple at a time if offered, though I doubt he has been offered that much when the store was feeding him prior to my being hired.

Hoping to increase his eating, and then get him onto regular rats asap, then I'll work on getting him to start taking f/t or gassed prey.

He's got some really beautiful rainbow iridescent scales.
