Anna, the new Guyana boa. Fresh pickup

[ajeff]

Picked this little girl up for 150, though she is small, hitting the scale at only 500 grams! so I got a bit of work cut out for me. The guy I got her from (as well as a chunky female ball python) needed some cash and was looking to get rid of the animals.

She is a pretty one though, hope she eats and starts to pack on some weight



And of course, what type of picture post of a boa would this be with out a tail shot



Im going to let her settle in for a week in quarantine (which I am thinking may be closer to two months so she can get some size on her) and offer her a small thawed rat. See if I can get some meat on her bones.

I really like the tail on her.
Best of luck getting her up to weight.

You know how old she is?

She looks great to me, i would say she is about 1,5 years old or some ? But always hard to tell ofcourse....

Remember that BCC grow slowly and seem to be more apt to regurges as babies than other species (been there with mine =P), so I'd recommend going slow on the feeding size.

But she's really pretty! Congrats!

Just a quick update. Was going to feed today, but a couple days ago, Sunday, the little girl turned blue, so it looks like she is going to miss chow time this week. But on the bright side, with a fresh skin on a red-tail that means camera time... going to attempt to go macro on her

Wow! She's gorgeous! Nice pick up!

Just another quick update. She did shed and she is a beauty. I do need to get into her house and pick her up in a couple days to remove a bit of stuck shed on her tail that I did not see until just after I feed her.

I would have shot a few photos of her but first thing was first, and that was get a meal down her. This morning I placed a small rat to thaw in the room with her. A short time after this, I had a good feeling, at first I just sat the rats to thaw on the top of the tank, I came in a bit later and she was right up at the screen, so I placed the rats to thaw a bit further out of the way. This was a good sign though and just a few minutes ago, I offered the small rat to her, and she took it, no problem

Down the hatch and still looking for more. Since they are a little more prone to regurge I am just going to leave her be for a couple days and hope she keeps the meal down.

Hope to grab some pics of her in a couple days
