    Awesome little snake, I'm jealous! BCI is on my list of a snake I'd love to get some day.

    The best things are worth waiting for...and you'll probably do better with a BCI now than you would have before anyway. When we were kids, we were too easily
    distracted & on to the "next thing", with so much to absorb.

    It was mine too, but I didn't get my first one until I'd kept snakes for well over 20 years and was 37 years old! It never occurred to me that I could handle them. I always pictured the huge red tails that people show on the internet, not well fed BI's that are manageable snakes.

    Now I have two (a female Ghost BI, Behira, and a male dwarf BCC, Feliz) and love them.

    Inquisitive, docile, beautiful, strong, and great eaters, among many traits. They are awesome pets.

    Good luck and keep us posted.

    After letting her adapt for a week I’ve started handing her a bit and I’m curious to know if it is normal for boas to rub there head against your arm like they are trying to shed? M not used to snakes with so much personality. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4cb2b78b51.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...14a2ca5df8.jpg
