Talking The Boa addiction has started *sigh* ( PIC POST)

that's a content *sigh* LOL

My newest addition, and the first male snake in my collection:

Weighing in at 482.5g, length of 35.7" at only 8months of age, here he is:





the bowl was weighed first and scale back to 0, so that is his weight



My batteries were dying so the pics are not the greatest, as he has some IMHO awesome markings.

The only problem I have with him, is that I don't have any prey big enough for him LOL. I thought the 80g rats would be perfect for him, till I got him home, and later on fed him. He took down the biggest one I had, 82g.....then seeked out more. He ended up having another, 65g rat as well. So I definately will be orderring a bigger size prey, as there was hardly any bulge with the first one Piggie.





His temperment is absolutely amazing. Very calm and curious. I can't wait to get him in his semi-permanent cage. Right now he's in the observation tank till I'm done my rack.

Anyways, thanks for looking and reading.

Any name suggestions for my new boy?

LOL, for a small town gal, I've got quite the "zoo". COuld start charging admission....hmmmmmm. Then pay for my next one with the admission I get I'm getting there tho. I believe it will end once I get mates for the snakes I have, that will total 8 snakes of varying sizes. I think that should be enough eh
