    Not quite yet it's a little early for that. Bogertophis got it right. I may or may not be expecting a reptile. Or 2..

    Bad news bears:( retitle express said it will be a 24 hour delay! It's apparently just a perfect storm with hurricanes, wild fires, and the Rona. I was assured they're in a temp controlled building and will be delivered tomorrow. Got to love 2020.

    Seriously, I hope all is well and they arrive safely tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing what you got.

    Re: Here we go again
    It's certainly not ideal but both the breeder and I are optimistic about everything working out. He offered a refund in case it didn't but I'm not letting the thought of that linger around my head. Happy thoughts!

    That sucks dude! Silver lining: temps are a bit less extreme this time of year most places.

    wishing happy thoughts and safe arrival, man!

    Like jm said, I suppose if there's a safest season for delays it would be now. I wouldn't sweat it. I'd personally be annoyed, but I don't think I'd be worrying about the animals arriving safely.

    Course that's easy to say from here. But positive vibes sent your way. :gj:

    I'm just super impatient and basically yeah, annoyed. I agree the weather here isn't bad at all so I'm not too worried about the animals. I'm more worried about my own sanity!

    Re: Here we go again
    And here they are! A pair of pure Sears line hog island boas produced by Grady Calhoun. I've been in love with these things since I got into reptile keeping and now I finally have a pair. My children wanted to help name them so we came up with Oscar and Opal. The camera doesn't do them justice, the pinks and oranges are absolutely insane on these guys. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fd6c839ef7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a5df6c1697.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0c81cee4a7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a9662f8303.jpg

    HELL. YES! Phenomenal pick up, Toad! I had a feeling it was going to be some boas. Don’t think I could honestly choose Boa or Morelia over one or the other. Keep us posted on these critters, they look incredible!

    Re: Here we go again
    Thanks everyone. I've wanted them for so long and am so excited about finally having them I feel like a first time snake owner again. I want to hold them and check on them every 5 minutes to see what they're doing lol. I'll try my best to refrain until they're eating and acclimated but boy is it going to be difficult!

    Wow, they are gorgeous! I love Hog Island Boas in general, but the colors on this pair are something really special. I'm so, so glad they arrived safely.

    It'll be fun to see these two progress :)
