Couple pics of the hellraiser

Tequila fouled her cage today so I had her out while I cleaned. She proceeded to wrap herself around every wire and knock whatever she could over. She is a hard one to corral when she decides she wants to go somewhere. Once I got her back in the cage I took a couple shots.

She's a pretty lady.. how big is she? She looks similar size-wise to my Ophelia.

I like her yellow color.. nice light tail too.

She is between 7 and 8 feet and was 37 lbs when I got her last year but I have slimmed her down a bit. Instead of eating 5 large rats once per month like she was (too much to digest in my opinion), she gets a jumbo every 14 days. I think she is prob down to maybe 32-35 lbs. She is a beast but very sweet. She has some nose rub from being kept in a screened 55 gallon tank that wont go away but other than that she is a good girl. Unfortunately she can't come out as much as I would like her to because of the cats. In her old house she got to roam the apartment for 4-5 days at a time. Here she gets out for about 15 mins per week.

Wow she's bigger than she looks in the pic. I haven't weighed Ophelia but she's around 7'.

I don't take my big girl out much either.. mainly because she tries to knock over everything in the room. She wears me out.

Yeah, I definitely feel bad that she doesnt get out as much as she used to. Once I get the spare bedroom cleaned up, I am going to let her roam in there for a few hours a week.

Typical Boa behavior imo :) Never met an RTB that didn't like to go in ten different directions at the same time, lol :D She looks really great Jamie. I give her a perfect ten! :gj:

She is just so gorgeous. I'll be she's worth every ounce of trouble she gives you! LOL

Yeah, boas do seem nutty like that - funny the guidebooks don't tell you this! I had Carmen out for a bit the other day and she immediately thought the inside of my sweater was the BESTEST place to be.

Getting a squirmy determined boa out of your sweater is um...interesting!

Yeah boas can be a real handful! If they want to go somewhere, they'll be darned if they don't get there! Boas require that you have at least oh.. four hands to control them. :) Makes them interesting.

Everytime she gets determined that like, I think, oh dear god, imagine what she'll be like when she's 3, 4, 5 times bigger doing this...
