Thanks everyone! I'll try and get some more pics this weekend.

Good to hear this BP has a good home now.
I went to a pet shop that is usually good with the way they care for thier BPs (this is where I sell my overstock of rats) When I was looking to see the new reptiles I got very mad. She had 2 about a year old BPs in with a baby boa (for size I would say a month old of so) in a 10gal tank with no place to hide!:mad:
In the other tanks she had a few female BPs that had the most horrible sheds ever!:taz:
I would have taken them all home if I could have afforded to, but as she had the normal females marked at $150 for yearlings, and the males marked at $100 for yearlings, and the boa was $200. :rage:
When I tried to talk to her about it she mentioned that she was now going to breed her own BPs, the only one in the store with a hide in its tank was a little male spider.

We all need to form a group to help the poor treatment of these wonderful animals, to educate the mass public, and all those pet shops.


Sorry to go on,
Welcome again and I'm glad you saved that little ball from all the horrors of life in a pet shop:gj:
