your so funny and btw i love your avatar.. not sure if ive told you that before but everytime i see it i smile lol

Jax is a cutie! I love Boa tongue shots too, they always come out good lol.

I have had so much fun with my boa. I am starting now to let the kids handle him, now that I have learned his temperament and know he is a sweety. I want him to be used to everything when he is an adult. Kind of like a well socialized dog in way:)

hehe, its like the boas hold their tounges out long enough for you to photograph them lol.. with the balls i wait and wait and wait. thats great your boa is such a sport about being handled thats certainly something i love about jax, i dont trust him yet with the kids and my husband wants nothing to do with him (doesnt really like him but doesnt give him a chance either, saw him strike at me the day we got him and every since :colbert: wants nothing to do with him.. wimp lol) they really are neat animals. i LOVE your avatar

Thanks, that shot came out really weird lol.

I know what you mean too, the day I got my boa, he was really stressed from the whole situation. I was holding him, about to put him away into his new tub, and BAM he struck right at my face. I saw him out of the corner of my eye, starting to shake a little like they do just before they strike their food. I pulled away just in time, and he missed my face by a second. Shaun saw the whole thing, and didn't want anything to do with him. Now he will hold him, once he realized that it was stress related, and he is really a total sweetheart, and really curious about everything. He hasn't even attempted to strike since.

He is also pretty easy to read. I can tell when its not a good day for the kids to be handling him. Other days its fine. I make them sit on the couch and let them hold him for a few minutes. He just wanders all over. Checking things out.

It can happen with BPs too (so tell your hubby not to be biased!)

I brought in a rescue from Cali a couple years ago. Unfortuntely, he was shipped on a Thursday in the dead of summer... and he got LOST during a storm in Kentucky. He was stuck in a warehouse with 90-95 degree weather all weekend.

The foster and I thought he was surely going to be dead. I called everywhere I could, no luck. So, Monday rolls around, I receive the package, dread what I'm going to find...

And out comes a beautiful three foot male BP. And he immediately bites me, twice in succession, lol. I tried to pick him up to put him back in the bag, and he tags me again. He was PEEVED.

But I tell you what... gave him time to settle, let him get a couple meals in him, and he never struck, hissed, or bit again. He's in a forever home now with another family member, and he hasn't hissed nor struck there either. Children have handled him without issue.

Snakes have bad days too :)

wow thats insane!! totally believable and understanding though!

wowzers lol.. i will pass that bit of info onto the good ole' husband. I just think he likes balls better :devilish: oh well, no sweat off my back, i get jax all to myself lol. its not like he does much with them anyway, im the one who takes care of them, chooses them, exc so he just gets to sit back and enjoy the ride :gj:

look out for new post shed/post dinner pics of jaxson :D (who mind you hasnt hissed, struck out, exc since day one)
