Meet Sascha, the Suriname Red Tail...

Ok all, so I was gonna wait until the waiting period was over and she shed to get good pics to make this thread, but can't wait anymore. So here it is...I finally got my Suriname this past weekend!!! Her name is Sascha, she's a 2016 baby. She's so beautiful and chill, I've been wanting one for so long. I found a great deal on a Boaphile 421D so that is her home for now. She's in blue, and the day I picked her up was her normal feeding day, so now I have to wait god knows how long (a couple weeks for acclimating/feeding/shed lol) before I can take her out and handle her a bit. Here's some pics from before I put her away, will definitely update with new post shed pics once she's out next. Thanks so much @Sauzo for all your help with the setup and feeding tips!!!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8370c59c45.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2551306777.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4fc8ae6ac0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7e02b1bca6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1ee6bdbf0e.jpg

Haha no problem. Just let her settle in and shed. Then just get a pet shop F/T rat that is the right size for her and weigh it like i said. Then you will know the exact weight you need for feeders and can order online from anyone and know you will get the right size feeder. My advice is Perfect Prey or Big Cheese Rodents. Layne Labs is pretty good i hear too but they are the most expensive of the three.

And i personally like the eyelashes. Gina has the same thing. Makes them so girly :D

Wow, congrats on your new snake! Beautiful girl:sweeet:

Haha yup I love em too the eyelashes are awesome. Picking up a rat for her Sunday, gonna weigh it and such. Probably gonna order from reptile deli to begin with, as I already have a relationship with them but I have heard great things about big cheese

Congrats on your beautiful boa, I'm also a new boa owner!! :gj:

Hooray! So after 8 days in her enclosure, a poop, a feed and a shed, it was finally time for this baby to come out for a few minutes! She was so super chill and cute and awesome, I'm really happy right now. One thing I noticed, whether she's in the enclosure or out, this girl is always watching... anyways, enjoy the pics! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6cc6ead570.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e5804beb9b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8cc7bc6edb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9883d77ba3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3ba55a0bf2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...298ec55988.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f93de66d8d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...730e78090e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c953408a37.jpg

You should get a boa. Will help your hair grow back since they are fairly relaxed and i only catch my boas pushing here and there, usually just shoving their heads down between the litter dam and the glass lol. Gina was doing it for 2 days before feeding day. Once she was fed, she just stretched out on the cage floor and relaxed under her plants. Same with Louie. The boas really love their plants.

I had such a great time taking her out tonight, I wanted to share some pics. She climbed onto my shoulder and partially around my neck, and stayed there chilling for half an hour. It was the cutest thing ever. So grateful I got her. Her personality is just so freakin cool.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2d3224ed29.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...51e130d020.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ee8df31826.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...23cb27c7a3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ef74d18e02.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0949ec1ae3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7196ad8d57.jpg

Nice pics and she looks like she is doing great!

Keep up the good work and keep us posted! Can't wait to see her grow and grow and grow, much like Behira!

Seriously, she's beautiful and you two seem to have hit it off.

She’s looking really good
