Rakota

Just wanted to share... We got him a few days ago. He is still settling in but I wanted to post a pic.

I figured out the care sheet I had been checking on... I guess that one page was just weird. Between the things the breeder told me and care sheets and book information, I went with the majority vote of more humid temps. He is on f/t button quail at this time but has taken f/t mice a few times in the past. The breeder says he starts them all out like that and they all eventually switch out completely to f/t mice and rats and that if I have any problems he will help out. This is the same guy I got my first BP from so I know he is true to his word. He has helped me out plenty already with another BP I didn't even buy from him.

What else... His name is Rakota, he's 16 months old and about 27 inches long. Sweet as pie.

They seriously lay live? I thought all snakes laid eggs.

Wow, I know nothing. Teachers lie to kids.

Yup live babies!!

yeah boas give live birth... and with baby dumeril's they shed the first time usually with in the first few moments after being born.
