Thought I would share:

Took pics of Caleb today since it was nice out and I had a little time in between all the stuff I am doing today.

He's a looker! :) How'd he like it outside?

He seems to like it, but he gets to go outside daily, while the weather is good..then again, all my snakes do.

wow what a nice snake, its a bci right ?

Very nice, Jeanne! I love the bci's bold, inquisitive nature....

Yep, its a BCI.


Steelsack- yes they are bold, thats no joke, but I too love it.


Caleb is just over 5 months old now, seems a bit small for his age, then again, the past owners did not have the right enviro. and I believe they were not telling the truth about how often he was really eating. Then again, I could be wrong about the size thing in relation to his age.

A bci could have been my first snake but i asked at the pet store how big they get and he told me twenty feet so i was like NO WAY and then i thought the guy knew what he was talkin about (obviously he didnt)so i didnt do any other research.So i found out alot of bp's and got one instead,i dont regret getting roxy but MAN i could have had a boa !!

Very nice. As already said, he sure is a looker. I love boas. :)

And I wouldn't mind a bci for my first snake. But then I read up on how big they get, so I decided I'd do what many people seem to do. Start with a ball python, then work up to a boa after that. So hopefully early next year I should be ready for a sweet boa. I just hope I don't favour my boa over my ball, since bp's are more laid back, and boa's are out-going characters. :)

If size is a big concern, you could always get a Hogg Isle Boa or some other dwarf locality, which are becoming reasonably common nowadays and only get about 6'. Most are a bit nippier than Columbians when they're young though...

Yeah I'd love one of those, but I priced them. Aren't they a bit more expensive than columbians? Money isn't something I have a lot of often, so that's why I was going for columbians. Beautiful, and not too pricey. I'm gonna wait till this fall and maybe see what I can do. My breeder in Toronto where I got Pelota from..she specializes in all types of boas, and has some gravid females expected to give birth this fall. I'll have to price hers. :D

Gorgeous little boa you have there. I love their curious, bold outlook on things.

He's a sweet-lookin' guy, and I'll bet he really appreciates the opportunity to go outside so often. :)

Yea.....sometimes the curious/bold nature of my boa makes me laugh. She's definitely an interesting "character" but i still favor a good balls personality over hers, she's pretty big and can get "rambunctious" lol
