Quirks?

Honestly, that's the only time he's snagged me. Usually if he flies out of the tub (bottom tub of the rack), I just lure him into a paper towel roll. He loves those rolls, anywho, I just get him in that, and turn it around so he flies right back into his tub.

The day I picked him up at a show, he flattened his 'hood', hissed at me, and then ate a couple of pinkies. He hasn't hissed or anything since, though it did take about a month for him to stop musking on my hand.

Really docile, except when there's food involved! He's also tried to eat the floor/carpet, my boot, my phone, and the previously mentioned paper towel roll. Crazy guy.

only $370 including flexwatt and tubs.

(sorry to OP for high jacking thread)

Very nice stuff! I'm a fan of boaphile plastics so far. What kind of morph are you looking for next? I'm going to try and pick up a male firefly, and a female ghost pied if I can find one.

(my apologies to OP for the midnight threadjacking as well.)

My boa enjoys tilting her head at a 45 degree angle.

My normal male has eaten his rats every way a snake is not supposed to. Butt-first, sideways, grabbed by the tail, you name it. He's also struck, constricted, "killed", and then let go and looked for something else to kill. Or he'll do all that while having the head in his mouth, then let go and look for the head again. He's...he's special.

My male BP occassionally decides that the tail of his mouse is the ideal place to grab and hang on. He has also sidled up to a mouse and sneakily snuck a coil over it's back like he wanted to cuddle and then suddenly constricted without ever striking. (This is more interesting when you consider he only eats live.)

My Dumeril strikes sideways.

And my BCI has a tendency to "reach" for things. Like, when I open the cage she reaches for me to climb out, then she'll come up to inspect my face (I guess to make sure everything's there...:P jk. Still cute though.). And if she's riding on my shoulders/head/pony tail, she will reach for trees if I walk under them. She also has this adorable habit of propelling herself rapidly up the side of the bath tub to lock her head on the edge and pull herself out when she decides she's done. She's adorable. :P

My blood doesn't strike at his food. He's got one of the worst attitudes in my collection and doesn't hesitate about striking at me, but he doesn't strike at his food. He wants the rat laid in his tub so he can sniff it over completely (I joke that he's a USDA inspector) then he'll eat it.

My albino boa usually won't strike at the rat unless you "bonk" her on the head with it. I found this out when she was littler and wasn't the greatest feeder. In frustration one night I bumped the rat against her head and BAM! snarf! Works like a charm now.

My cinny ball wants you to leave the rat in with her and turn out all the lights and leave the room. If you come back in before she's too far gone, she'll spit the head out and won't eat that week. If you catch her late enough though, I think instinct has taken over and she'll usually finish it. It's funny because once or twice I've needed to go back into the snake room for something and she pretty much starts eating as soon as the lights are out.

I think that's about all of the quirks. Except for my pickies who want mice over rats.
