I did it........

Ok, I did it! Got our first boa. He is supposedly het for pastel, and had really pretty salmon color down the sides of his tail. I don't plan on breeding, he is just for fun. He is awesome! Snapped a few picks before I put him in to settle down, he would NOT hold still for a decent picture. He just kept trying to climb back up my arm. I love him. :D. Now he needs a name.

He's so beautiful! I want one sooo badly, but I have to wait a few years. I live in a rather remote area and the nearest city (200km away...) isn't boa friendly, so I wouldn't be able to provide vet care.

I love living vicariously through you lovely boa keepers here who post photos :) Keep us updated! :D

Congrats! You will not be disappointed. Boas are awesome as I'm sure your finding out!

Yeah, he is awesome. Can't wait until he has settled in and eaten so I can take him out!! I gave him two hides, is that necessary with boas? He's on aspen with two hides, and a climbing branch.

Here is a couple in his tank. He is so curious.

Some people say boas don't need them. I give mine two and he makes good use of them. but as you know every snake has their own personality.

Congrats on the pick up!

Congrats on the new boa, you will love him!!

Also not to be the bearer of bad news but there is no such thing as het for pastel in boas, but he is very handsome!

Congratulations, and :welcome: to the Boaddiction...

All of my BCI's have 2 hides. Two of then use their hides regularly, and one only uses his hides when he goes into shed.
