Nice looking boa!!! I currently own 3 boa's and they have been perfectly behaved so far. I handle them almost every day. They are just so much fun. I wish you luck with him....:gj:

he was actually free also so i deffinately cant complain about the temperament lol :D

Well it is hard to beat that price. Mine calmed down rather quickly with regular handling....:D

Nice addition! Has almost a CBLTish pattern going on? :gj:

BCI is what it is. Let him acclimate for a few days and then handle him. He should calm down. Then again my Nicaraguan Boa hasn't and will bite me any chance it gets.

Loving that tail pattern! It's most likely just a normal BCI. I got my girl when she was around that size, from a local rescue. She's been just lovely (except when it comes to food), no snapping or anything. Let him settle in for a week while you pick out a name, and then just do quick handling sessions until you trust/understand his behavior type and patterns. :)

Congrats on your pickup!


Ps. it'd probably be a good idea to get him sexed properly, just so you know what to expect size-wise. :gj:

his name is...hitman lol for now till i come up with something better if you open his tub he will only go straight for womens faces never men....so yeah lol hes gotten pretty darn close to my nose

Since he's targeting women I'd call him Jack the Ripper. ;)

I have 3 boas and all are very feisty/bitey but I only handle them for cleaning so that is to be expected.
