*CUTE ALERT* Baby with Boa

So I started to introduce my Boa, Chester, to my 4 month old. For now I've just been putting my son in his Pack and Play and then putting Chester in with him. Lots of tongue flicking goes on in the 5-10 minutes they're together! My Son watches him, and has grabbed him a few times. So far all is well :) Chester behaved very well and hasn't even so much as got into a defensive position. This looks like the start to a very long and wonderful friendship :)

Adorable baby and gorgeous snake

Just be careful, kids have been taken away for less, someone will say its child endangerment.

Someone should start a thread for just kids and snake pics.

Lovely snake and cute baby. I would agree with the above. You are no doubt close by taking the pic and a completely and totally responsible parent. However, people on social media and FB will blow a head gasket looking at those pics.

Thanks for the kind comments and the concerns. I'm not worried about what people may say. The snake is well within the legal allowable size within my area. As far as comments on Social media... well between the 2 FB pages I manage I have over 120,000 members - so I'm used to negativity. lol :)

For now, let's just enjoy the cuteness and not even worry about the haters. :gj:

Baby + Snake= head blowing excitement. So cute!!!!

That's pretty damn adorable. What kind of Boa is that? Really beautiful color.

Thanks! Chester is a Sunglow (combination of the Albino and Hypo genes).

Oh alright. Good times.

I'm looking for something that can be a garbage disposal to eat after my BPs so I'm looking at a Boa or Yellow Anaconda. Still haven't decided though.

Awesome

The young ones can definitely be fearless.
One of three rescue reasons I got my 5 ft Boa is the previous owner could not control her twin toddlers. They would open up the tub all the time and drag the snake out and walk around with it!

Yikes! Well luckily for my exotics they are in a room with a locked door, so my kid can't get to them.

Adorable! I wish we had a snake when my three year old was a baby. She's overly excited and attached to our BP so it's hard to get her to understand how she needs to act around him/her. She's used to playing with our shih-poo puppy.

Thanks :) Since Chester was very young I've been a little rough with him on occasion to get him used to it. He is now pretty fearless. He lets children pick him up and pet his head no problem! Of course all young kids don't get to spend time with him alone. Mostly they just pet him, but at least I know if they do happen to poke his face he won't react. I wouldn't go so far as to say he has been trained - but he has for sure become much more used to it. I'm glad my son is able to grow up with animals, that way he won't have any fear of them. We have snakes, cats and a tarantula. He's met them all, aside for the spider. But - he does have a toy spider that he loves a lot! When he's bigger and understanding "Sit down and put your hands out" then he can touch her. But for her safety, he can't touch her yet!

Adorable!!!
If you want to sell that couple, I'm in :D

Thanks! haha. Both are not for sale... although maybe when the baby is a bit older and misbehaving I'll be up for a trade, lol!
