I've joined the club

As some of you know I've been looking into a boa. Today was the day I took my new addition home. Meet little Banzai, he was purchased from Nagy reptiles I highly recommend them. Very easy to deal with, thanks again Darryl. He is a male poss super hypo jungle, weighing in at 124g of cuteness. Seems to have survived the long drive okay, did a lap of the cage, stared at me for awhile then went exploring some more. I didn't want to hold him to long so took a few quick ones while I setup the scale. He didn't want to get put back down and curled around my fingers.

Thanks, this little squirt is barely noticeable in your hands but eventually he will be bigger. Won't be a giant though dad is around 5.5ft and mom 6.5 feet. He'll end up a nice comfortable size.

Re: I've joined the club

Earlier he was perched on the branch top center of the cage right under the LED strip and now is coiled at the back corner on the branch like a tree python. The LED is on a timer and is still on so he doesn't seem to be to scared. He has 2 hides and a few fake plants so plenty of ground cover but doesn't seem to want it right now.

Very pretty little boa, you're really going to enjoy him. IMO they're about the best handling snakes you'll find.

Thanks, he was very easy to handle day of even after a few hours in his travel container. He was as relaxed as my BP. Just curled slightly but didn't hiss, strike or try and get away. He just looked around once I held him. Kind of like "oh man, okay fine". I've heard a few people say that, be awesome watching him grow up as his colours come out more.
