First time holding a boa

I got to hold a pretty good sized boa today at the show. I have to say it was one of my favorite experiences holding a snake. As they seem so curios about what you are. I'm sold as a boa for my next snake. Just have to wait few years to get settled down and I can get one

I held my first big boa at a repticon too :) it is an amazing experience. They draped her around my neck and she was just as sweet as can be. Heavy as heck though and so strong! Even holding a baby boa their strength is so amazing to see and feel. I can't wait to add a boa too. They are really really cool snakes :D

I've only held colubrids and BP's it'd such a a different expreicne.

Not my first time holding a boa, but definitely my first time holding one this big! Mine is still just a little worm.

Holy! That is one big, flipping snake! Hopefully my Hogg Island doesn't get quite that big. They are a fun species though - so active, lots of attitude and quite curious but also such a beautiful animal.

She was a Surinam red tail boa. BIG girl(and so sweet). I have a hoggie, too. They won't get nearly that big. :)

That's not a Boa!

That's a MONSTER! :D

But it sure looks like a sweet one.

That'd a huge snake! I bet it's fun to feed. I can't to get my own. Altho it will a lot smaller than that one. What do you feed that thing? Small children? (I joke)

It just looks like a regular Colombian BCI to me. Not sure I see any suri in there. But damn, that thing looks awesome! I can't wait until mine is that big.

I still haven't held a snake with some real size to it but I bought my boa a while ago and I'm looking forward to seeing how big he gets aND growing with him
