Yeah they are both beautiful!!!

aww... *looks around sheepishly* Thanks all... :oops:

hi meagan, welcome to the forums(i know, im late on that one). anyways, good to hear your telling people about snakes and how a four foot snake could not eat a four foot person, and that sorta thing:P (a person at my school actually thinks that btw)

hey meagan, welcome to the site! It's awesome what you're doing, both rescuing an obviously unhappy snake and giving him a better life and educating the general public about one of the most misunderstood pets out there! It's nice to see people putting their english skills to good use!

p.s good luck in districts!

Welcome Meagan..nice looking snake..I can't wait to see my BP get to 4 feet long soon...later

Midnite,

i homeschool my kids and we educate people on different 'pets' all the time as well... it's part of the reason we got a dexter (ball python) - so we can show others snakes are okay.

in january we are having our homeschooling group over to the house... they'll be able to meet dexter, our bearded dragons, geckos, frogs, toads and check out our fish tanks then... it's amazing what sponges kids are... i love it.

good for you... taking the time and effort to educate your friends and their parents.

and welcome to the forum!

Oh redtails are lovely. Not the most rare or whatever but I adore the "common" columbian boa we are fostering right now. They do get a darn good size and pretty heavy, especially the females but, at least with this male we have, their personality is very laid back.

They do seem to have a longer strike range comparitive to their total body length then a ball python so use the really long tongs LOL. My hubby fed the 5.5 foot columbian with a shorter set and got a lovely "road rash" on his hand when Rauri overshot the mark! I swear Rauri was more upset than my husband, Mike! LOL

If you have a look at the BCI/BCC forum you should find some good pics of Rauri as well as jglass's big female columbian and other ones as well.

Sorry I'm a little late on this one! A huge congratulations to you Meagan! To take your love of little misunderstood animals ( ;) ) and go past basic pet keeping to public education is wonderful! I have a teensy little hatchling corn (she's a whole whopping 24 g) in my bio classroom for the same purpose. It's great that your parents support you and your hobby!


Welcome to the forums!

Keep up the good work, people need to be informed more. That goes for those who don't like them and would never own one to the people who buy them that don't know anything about them.

Well done and welcome - that photo of you both is lovely :)
