Yikes, April! She's gorgeous!! My common boy, Marley, wants me to pass along that he's being a bit of a flirt with her. :D

Oh, and to not be off-topic, here are two through-the-glass shots of my boy. I have NO idea what kind of boa he is, exactly, so I just call him your common, everyday boa. He doesn't look so big in the pictures, but he is between 5 and 6 foot (feet?) long. Also, his enclosure looks MUCH better, now. It was so bare and...blah. At least it was warm with the temps and humidity correct, even if it wasn't much to look at.

Aw thanks Gin.. you should see the other 50 shots I take for every good one I get. ;)



And yes, there are albino boas. Do a google search.. you'll find pics. There are also snow boas, and sunglows.

And that pic that was posted above was an emerald tree boa.

Oh wow, Shelby...those are some HOT boas! I love Ophelia, her colors are to die for. :O And the Hog Island is amazing! I worked with a Suri and a common Red Tail at the old zoo and they were great. The red tail - Chocolate Chip - was 6ft and loved going under shirts between the buttons...fresh snake. The Suri - Tangerine - was 8ft and the most docile boa I ever met. I love boas, but they're too big for me to currently own. :(

Anyway... really nice snakes, all.

Thank you for the compliments. :)

I used to work at a reptile zoo, and one of the red tails, Charlie, would also try to go in my shirt between the buttons when he got tired. He'd just rest there with his head in my shirt.. LOL

Yep, that's what CC did, except he rested his head on my chest under the shirt...right when two of the biggest lady-hunter male keepers were walking by (This was outside as I was doing an educational station)... that was fun...

Yep.. it was always great when the big albino burm would wrap his tail around between my legs.. lol and there were always lots of Sailors around to give me a hard time :rolleyes:

i've thought about working at st. louis zoo it just doesn't appeal to me

Heh, working at a zoo...most likely the Denver or Woodland Park, to get good brownie points and experience for grants for a refuge are the Main reasons I'm putting up with getting a Bio degree right now :) Stupid Chemistry...

Working at the E.P. Zoo, despite that it's a tiny little thing and very bureaucratic, was a great time and great experience for me. Started out just doing basic volunteer stuff, but as time passed and they saw how good I was (and am) with animals and how much I knew and still wanted to know...then it moved up to 'unofficial keeper training'. Too bad the place went into mega bureaucrat mode...

Yes, zookeeping is mostly cleaning up. That is a fact with any animal collection. But the great animal encounters and interaction you get once in a blue moon are more than enough to make up for everything else. :D

Thank you, April. :D For the compliment, and the guess. I'm pretty certain that you are right, though. I'm so anxious to get better pictures of him. Your snakes are all very lovely to look at. And, you having so many pictures of them is inspiring me to want more pictures of mine! :)

Yeah I love taking pictures. I've got several hundred on my hard drive.. just of the snakes! I only wish my BP.net gallery were bigger. :)

Hey I want in on the boa picture love action...
