    Re: Feliz - Venezuelan "Dwarf" BCC

    Feliz was a goofball last night. I offered him his first rat pup - 20G - and it barely left a dent. He could eat bigger, but I am growing him slow, or trying too. He's still growing like a weed.

    Anyway, on to the goofball part. He struck, and missed - his first miss. He was apparently frustrated (). He struck past it, pulled his head back, and was right next to it, grabbed it by the neck, and yanked it off the tongs and coiled.

    Good thing it wasn't alive!

    BTW - the spots on my tank doors are not because they are dirty. I mist the tanks for the boas and pythons (and sometimes Solana and Figment if in shed) sometimes, especially in the winter, and found one of the best ways to keep the humidity up in the boaphiles is to mist the door(s). The doors are vented around and the air moves around them and distributes the humidity. This way, I am not getting substrate too wet (and since I use printless newspaper, it dries out fast anyway), but keeping humidity up for a while.

    For the record, the tanks do a great job of keeping humidity over 50% down to 25-30% in the winter here in my dry, heated, basement. However, at least every few days, and in shed, I get it over 60% for the boas and pythons. How far over depends on the species.

    It's funny how mad they seem to get when they miss it first time, I presume they think they gonna get away if they don't nail.it first time. Which I suppose it would if it was live

    Spent some quality time with Feliz yesterday. He's very curious, but so gentle.

    He loves to boop noses!


    I am going to boop you!

    Thanks Rich. Yeah, he's a stunner. Nature did a good job with him. No morphs here.

    His tail is nuts, but his contrast is off the charts. He's really just an all around beautiful boa.

    He's also looking really sturdy. He's going to be a well built and strong bodied snake.

    Yes, he feels "softer." However, Behira was 400G when I got her and Feliz is just 210G now. Behira is still soft, but not as much as when she was younger. So, I wouldn't be comparing apples to apples.

    At 1,400G will his body feel softer than Behira's does now? I don't know. Sorry if that isn't helpful.

    Re: Feliz - Venezuelan "Dwarf" BCC

    Feliz had a perfect shed two days ago, left waste this morning, and weighed in at 225G. He also nailed a rat pup tonight. He's doing awesome.

    Here are some iPhone pictures. My DSLR is in the shop .
