New addition

This is Josslyn our new baby. She is a Coral Albino. We got her a week ago. She will be 4 weeks old tomorrow. Is it ok to start holding her now? She ate for us Tuesday evening. We are new to Boas so I will probably have more questions soon.

YAY!! Congrats, she is SO gorgeous!! :D :gj: :banana::banana: :D

She is very pretty. I love my coral albino......

She is a gorgeous looking snake. Love the eyes. Excellent addition. :gj:

Wow! Super baby! Congrats!

We just got our first baby boa 2 weeks ago. We were told by her breeder (Tim at Special K Reptiles) that boas are NOT ball pythons and that many actually enjoy being held. He told us we could hold her from day 1 and we did. We did limit it to just a few minutes at a time, but Tim was right, Peaches seemed to enjoy the attention and did not seem in the least bit stressed by the gentle handling - and she ate her first meal for us 3 days after she came home. Interestingly, this meal was her FIRST f/t meal - she'd only been offered live before. So the upshot is that the handling did not affect her settling in or eating. Have fun with her! ;)

Handle away! Beware, though... Boas do not like going back into their cages/tubs, etc. It's a boa thing :)

We got her out a weighed her a little while ago. She weighs a big ole 44g. We held her for a few minutes until she got a looked squirmy. Thanks for the info Evenstar. Thanks everyone for the compliments.

She's very pretty. Congrats on your new addition!

No problem! And Peaches is just like the others - she does NOT want to go back in her cage. She's very creative in finding ways to cling to you... :D

Great looking boa :gj:
