Lilian, my new little BCI

Hah! Yeah, I got a boa partly because I read they were outgoing and good eaters. I'm glad this one seems to be living up to that reputation.

An update:

She kept the meal down, so that's good. I weighed her yesterday, 56 grams. Leetle snake! :)

I switched her over to the aspen bedding I bought. She had made two messes on the paper towels that I didn't notice, I guess I'll have to clean the tub more often because that stuff is hard to spot.

She seems to really like the "vines" I installed. I often find her chilling out on them.

Oh, and today I had an emergency... Had to go buy a freezer because my fridge died. Didn't care so much about the food I had in it, but I really wanted to keep the rats frozen. It's all good now, I have a 5 cubic foot freezer now.

65 grams now! She'll be eating her third meal (under my watch, anyway) in a few days.

Sooooo tiny and cute!! Makes me want another baby snake as all mine are grown now and fat lazy slugs that only move when they smell food or I take them out and make them spend some quality exercise time lol.

Hah! Yeah, this one is very active. At certain times of the day I can hold her all balled up in my hand like in the previous pic, but usually she's rarin' to explore.

I remember those days.

Good times when they are small. Everybody is in a rush to get them big, but I have to say its a lot of fun when they are small and you are just waiting to see where they end up.

Have fun!

They are for sure fun when they are small. Then they get big and want to plop on you or ride on your shoulders. And trying to wrestle a bigger boa off a rain gutter or a tree branch you paused by is even more fun :rolleyes:
