My Boa -l-

Just got him today. '03 male BCI








Body shot. For size reference, that black object is 9"



His basic 58 quart Sterilite home. Any suggestions for improvement are more than welcome.

He looks big for an '03 baby! I'm impressed. Nice tail, nice light colors. Congrats on your addition, boas are an incredible addiction. (Look at my signature if you don't believe me, hehehe)

He's beautiful; I love his light coloration and low speckling. Nice set-up for him too, I see that he really likes his dowel. What are you using for substrate?

Cool

Thanks for the comments. I paid a little bit extra to get one with lighter colors, but I think it was worth it.

The substrate is cypress mulch. When I first got my Ball Python, I tried paper towels, then Aspen, but the cypress looks better and does a good job holding humidity.

First attempt at feeding went great. He was all over his pre-killed mouse in no time.

YES! It certainly was! And kudos to YOU for not worrying about getting the cheapest specimen available and for buying quality! Not sure who produced it, but great Bci!!
