Finally! New pictures of Carmen the BCC!

Since I didn't get around to feeding the snakelettes yesterday and I happened to remember I needed to get new pictures, here ya go!

Carmen on a hibiscus (don't ask how long it took to extract her from said hibiscus):

Such a pretty face!

And just for size comparison; this is the same snake who 15 months weighed 120g. She now weighs nearly 5lbs! (Excuse my Sunday hair =P)

nice pictures- she's awesome!

Awww she's gorgeous! What a face and her tail...it just keeps getting more stunning as she matures. Thanks for sharing these new pics of her with us. :)

What a big beautiful girl Cassandra... I think the last pics I saw of her, she was all tangled up in your fingers :) My Lord, she sure is growing fast.


Thanks, as always, for the pics!

Thanks guys! She's not fat either...just growing like a weed, even for a BCC...well, a fast weed over 15 months, hehe...

And still, to show that every boa is different, LOVES her hides. Next problem will finding a larger set when she reeeeally can't stuff herself into her current ones, hehe!

She doesn't look fat at all... just fit and tone and every inch the predator. With a sweet face :)


I need to get a BCC in the collection somewhere.

Cereal boxes make good hides for big boas if you want something cheap and disposable... Or kitty litter boxes are great, too.

She'd rip apart a cardboard box before you could blink...that and she has a bad habit of peeing in her hide...mmmm, marinating. :rolleyes:

I need something heavy she can really flex against that's hopefully washable...

I know I've heard of people that use litter boxes... I think April uses plastic litter boxes for her big boas. I've never used them myself, so not really sure how you'd put the hole in them... could you use a soldering iron and just circle it to expand the hole?

Definitely something to think about...but you know me, I do wish I could find something that has a natural look to it. If I can't find anything natural looking, I will give the kitty litter box thing a try.

She still squeezes in her current hides okay, but I know she won't in a month or three...sometimes, I think she gives up and just leaves her tail hanging out, the lazy bum. :D

LOL... aw! Kinky's new nickname is big butt... I just love that big, round red tail. Everytime she tries to hide under the couch it always gets stuck hanging out :)

Wow!! I love her eyes! I'm really wanting to get a boa, and those beautiful pictures aren't helping me stem the urge very well!! :P

but maybe more pics will help.... ^_^

She's gorgeous!!

Man, she's gotten soooooo big!!!!!! :D Still, one of the prettiest ladies ever!

Thanks guys!

Her pupils, of course, only do that in bright sunlight...inside, her eyes open up and almost always look totally black...I do really like the coloration around her eyes. Makes her face more expressive...squeee! I loves my baby girl!

Speaking of eyes, of all four of our snakes, Lourdes' eyes are the most interesting to watch. While he is an albino, his eyes aren't pink, but rather a deep reddish-amber and he can really swivel his eyes around in their sockets. You know what he's looking at, hehe...=)

Wow! She's getting so big!! I remember when she was just a pretty worm wrapped around your fingers!! She's growing into a stunning animal, Cass! You should be proud!!


For hides...you might see if you can find someone that throws pottery. My mom has made me hides for Kisasa. They're nice and heavy and glazed for easy cleaning. You can pretty much costomize the look that way for something naturalistic...as well as getting whatever size you need.

That's an awesome idea Judy! I never would've thought of something like that...


:rockon:

OU LA LA! Elle est ci belle!

Your girl is looking very big! I'd be very proud!

OMG she is so grown up! She was so itty bitty last time I saw pics of my favorite RTB! And ever the looker! :love:

its pretty.. very nice colors

You know I was thinking Cass, what about a mock rock. You know those decorative fake rocks you can buy from landscaping places that come in a ton of different sizes. One of those would look totally natural, I believe they are just a rock looking shell so you would have the interior space and you could likely find out how to safely put an entrance into one. I don't know what they are made of but they must certainly be waterproofed since they are made to be out in a yard/garden. Just a thought....

Awesome! She is gorgeous.

You can just snip out a hole with tin snips. I'm not a fan of using a soldering iron on plastic. It's kind of toxic to breath in.

Good thought, Jo...thanks =)

And thanks for the additional comments, guys! My snakes seem to have it in for me, however...Cleo bit me last week and Carmen bit me last night! I must taste good....:rolleyes: :P

About time! Wow, she's real perty! Nice pics.
