Well I got a male Colombian at the Taylor show in Mi. I can honestly say I felt like an outsider and didn't fit in, because I didn't know anyone, and everyone was talking, and crap, and I didn't talk to one person the whole two hours I was there. Very cool to see all these snakes and go though lol.

I saw a lot of good and not so good things. I saw a 8 year old get bit by a Dummeril boa (maybe 6-7 feet) who was wrapped around his neck for 20 minutes, then gave him a bite on the chin. The owner said it had never happened, but the kid took it like a champ, didn't even scream. he was just like..."ugh... guys look the snake bit me", lol. I saw a guy pick up what looked like a 8 inch coastal, and the thing bit him, but I dont think he knew cause it looked so small its mouth couldn't wrap around his finger, lol. I saw alot of people with not so much fear. These 5 year old kids wanted to hold these 8 foot albino boas after the guy said "they hiss, so its your choice", and they still did anyway. I also saw a "vendor seller" buy a pastel for 20$ because it had a stuck shed and he pretty much announced it to the whole store.

The not so good things....there were 2 booths, and each had 10-20 gal tank cages full of twenty snakes in a cage to save on money I guess. One had about 25-30 ball pythons that hadn't eaten in one cage marked as "no feeders" for 5$ each...

But I bought my BCI for 70$ from Selectcaptivebred(might have mixed it up). They sexed it in front of me as male. I told him I wanted a male because I kinda don't want something over 9 feet. He then said his females usually are 6.5 feet and males are 5 feet cause he doesn't over feed them. He gave me a free "boa manual". It was born 8/06.

Anyway, he REALLY does not like going into cages. Hes maybe 2 feet long, but hes the girth of a baby BP, and its hard putting him in his 10 gal. I spent every single dollar on snake and setup, which happened by miracle to be 143$. He is much cooler then my BP, and actually moves, and really fast. Now I know what people mean when they say "he wouldn't hold still".

Anyway I'm excited as a pig in :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: and cant wait for his first feeding in 3 days.
