    Our new girl Sonia

    We got another red tail about a month ago from somebody that bought her but no longer wanted her. She is young but we are unsure of her exact age because they bought her from a big box pet store. The reason they were getting rid of her was because she had bite them. I'm pretty sure it was a feed response because she is an absolute sweetheart until feed time like any other boa. Without further ado, her she is.

    Congrats Lou! She's pretty and will just get better. I really like those areas on her tail where the beige base has come through the red.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Re: Our new girl Sonia

    BigLou3 left our the best part! A man bought her for his stepson. At some point, she bit the kid (presumably during feeding) and he didn't want to go near her after that. I told the man it was understandable for a child to get spooked after being bit. He then informed us that his son was 22. I couldn't help but laugh. She's been an absolute darling, but she definitely displays a healthy boa feeding response!

    From her size I'd guess no more than a year old.

    Nice pick-up!

    Could a yearling stay that small? She just weighed in at 101g empty.

    She might not necessarily be a yearling, just that she's definitely not older than a year. She sounds like she's around 3-4 months at that weight/size, but that's purely speculation, since we don't know how she was fed or anything.

    Congrats on the new boa! These guys are definitely my faves, and she's got some awesome patterns.
