Thanks for the tip!! I'll defiantly give that a shot!!! :)

& Thank you Alice! :hug:

She looks great!

I occasionally get tempted to get a brogersmai, but I just can't see getting another short tail that isn't a curtus or a sarawak locality breitensteini.

I'd love to breed some short tails/bloods, but i can't do that if i don't buy another one to go with what i've got :P

Laura, what an absolutely gorgeous snake! I'm SO envious! Is she a "Tracy Special?" :D

Thanks Schlyne.... I'd love to see pix of your some time! :D

Thank you Judy!!!! :) :sunny: :) And yes... lol... that's exactly what she is! :P Good eye there! :D

Very pretty, Laura! I love that fourth pic. :sunny:

Lawrence Thank you!!! ... she is all about looking right at you!!! :eek: We've been having gentle "quiet time" handling sessions every night and she is really coming around. But almost NEVER takes her eyes off me.... I'm really loving this girl! :sunny:

I love it when snakes do that, but it still freaks me out a little. I keep waiting to be bit on the nose. :P I think I would be especially paranoid with a Blood staring me down. :omg:

Hahaha! Yea.... She defiantly is one that demands respect! :P Everything I've read about their nature, and what I have been told...and from what I'm learning from her...it seems that "Warning sighns" that a Boa or BP would display, is just a natural behaviour for them?!?! Don't know if I'm phrasing that correctly. If my Guyana BCC or one of my BP's looked at me dead on and hissed.... I would causiously rearrange their positioning.... :confused: She seems to almost talk??? I'm not doing the best job explaining what I mean.... lol
Any additional insight into these amazing animals is very welcome! :)
