Cool! And you just let her go around on your carpet? You use a snake hook, or is she docile?

is it venomous

It's a boa dude.

Very nice addition, NICE colors too.

I love candoia boas.. is she nasty? I hear most candoia are little nippers..

they are cool. The pattern reminds me of a northern or banded watersnake, and usually their temperment matches as well. :)

That's a nice looking snake. I haven't seen too many of those.

For someone who breeds boas and has almost a dozen giants, you should know that boas aren't venomous.

nice one! I just lost my viper recently, evil little things, but great snakes. Just watch out for the not eating, they love to not eat. My australis just recently started eating again after about a year.

haha yeah, he breeds boas and he's in 11th grade....:rofl:

I don't think there is a problem with breeding boa's in the 11th grade. I actually bought my boa from a high school kid who has his own breeding business. The question may show some lack of common sense but I don't know if calling somebody out on it is going to help a whole lot.

whats the weight size on them shelby?

Yea... but he has a reputation to deal with here.

Ya I guess that is true.

Why are you asking Shelby? She probably doesn't know anything about them, just like she doesn't have any anacondas...

Dude... you slay me. :rofl:

Man oh man am I jealous! A while back a friend wanted one and we both searched high and low for one, no luck. They are such awesome little snakes! Maybe one day.... I hope. Good luck with him!
