    OMG I bought a boa!
    So I am totally psyched! I went to the Taylor MI show today. My intention was to look at sub-adult Dumerils and see what else there was to see. Well I happened to stop at Special K Reptile's booth at a slow time and in one box was this darling month-old baby red-tailed boa. I could not say no. So she came home with me!

    I can't say enough good things about Tim and his wife Susan! They are really great people and this was a terrific experience! I highly recommend them! Thank you Tim and Susan!!!

    So here she is! She is a Hypo DH Ivory Ghost. I just looove her eyes! And I apologize for the dog hair on the black shirt I photographed her on - I have GSDs and they shed a lot, lol. Still trying to think of a name so if anyone has a suggestion.... ;)

    What a cutie! Congrats on the new addition.
    I "just couldn't say no" to about 50 of the snakes I saw today... but I had to. :hmm:

    I totally understand - I had to say "no" to a lot of neat choices today too... But my hubby said I could take home just one so I got to say "yes" to this one! LoL! ;)

    Killing me to :) The last Boa I had was when I was a teenager 45 years ago. :O
    I think it's about time to get another, always loved Boas. :)

    Congratulations on the excellent pickup, she's awesome. :gj::gj:

    Ok.... So, I named her.... Peaches

    LoL! But seriously, my dad used to call me Peaches when I was very little and so I named her in honor of him. ....Ironically, my dad hates snakes.... heehee! :rofl:

    She's a nice looking little boa, but you still need to go ahead and set-up another enclosure for the Dumerils that will eventually hitch a ride home with you... :D

    I'd name her Ember.. Because like a hot bright burning coal shell only get brighter as she gets bigger!

    Thanks! And you got that right! I have always loved my BPs, but this is my first boa and I gotta say, I am definitely hooked on these guys!
