    New addition to my family
    This is a beautiful little female Central American Boa, i picked her up because i could not get over how gorgeous her pattern is. All the cental american boas i have seen have been very dark pattern. this one is the first i have seen of its color. Now im new to boa's so im unsure if she is a specific type. but i also need name ides :)

    here are some pics sorry the image quality sucks its my PDA camera. im at work

    here is her home in a home built rack.

    it workedo ut very nicely it has a tiny gap in the tip along all sides as you can see there is no way she could get out of it.

    I have named her, Dixie. she also no longer seems ot be nippy and i had her out last night at 3 am. i saw she was moving around so i picker her up and she seemed allot cooler tempered.

    i also figured out what kind of RTB she is. seems to be a common wild caught Anerythristic, lacking the red pigmint.

    if some one stops in, and knows. should i offer more to climb and just remove the hides, if they are wasted space. or should i continue to offer them though she wont use them.

    you have ball pythons dont you? you dont need the 2 hides really, boas arent like balls they dont really care about hides, a hide like a cardboard box or something wouldnt hurt, i can tell you have balls by how that exact setup has been pounded into everyones head, sorry to disappoint you but thats not an anery, its a common central american bci, also so you know, that little plastic box will last you about 3 or 4 months tops before your gonna have to get a real cage, if you have the cash buy a 4x2 now so you arent wasting your money on smaller caging
