I'm in Acworth CK. We're almost neighbors. :)

Congrats ! What a stunner!!

welcome to the Boa club!!!

Such awesome snakes. I don’t have a BCI yet but do have a Dumerils and a caye caulker. Happy to help if needed

Marietta here, we're all in pretty much the same area.

Thanks Philly! Yea.....Caye Caulker was in my final list after salivating over yours for weeks!!! He/She is a looker for sure!

Awesome! Beauty!

I am traveling today but will answer feeding questions ASAP.

Two rules of Boas IMO:

1. Feeding = less is more. Slow grown is the way to go.

2. Hook train. If a calm snake otherwise, you just need to avoid startling them, or more likely, get them out of food response mode. Remember a boa in its home thinking food is not a boa being handled.

If I judged Behira by her food response, I would never take her out, and she’s a joy.

Nice. I will respond soon with feeding guidelines.

Do you know his weight and age?

Also, for his first feeding or two, give him what he’s been eating and on the smaller side. Let him settle in.

Use tongs!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much that’s very kind of you her name is Lady liberty and she is a female. Very cool snak I love her very much. And Richard was kind enough to inform me that she is in fact a BCI just a dwarf locality which I honestly didn’t even know so it was cool to hear and I guess I can stop saying that I don’t have a BCI because I do just not a big one LOL I can’t wait to see more pics of your boy and watch him grow

I'm not sure about his weight but he's about 18 inches long and I believe about 4 months old. Definitely using tongs...in fact I bought some new ones for the quarantine process.

I assume just like for a BP, to let them go for about 3 feedings before handling, etc.....

Congrats CK...You finally found the one! I am happy for you and can't wait to see more pictures. I love his light colors and that tail is pretty sweet... Have you thought of a name yet? Maybe wait til you get him and see how he acts a bit..
