New addition to my family

This is a beautiful little female Central American Boa, i picked her up because i could not get over how gorgeous her pattern is. All the cental american boas i have seen have been very dark pattern. this one is the first i have seen of its color. Now im new to boa's so im unsure if she is a specific type. but i also need name ides :)

here are some pics sorry the image quality sucks its my PDA camera. im at work

im building a home made rack out of stuff you can buy at wal-mart and your local pet store. if i have time ill put a parts list and a general how to.

then you will have room :P

She's a cutie! Nice pattern. Congrats!

Thanks, i think she will be a great addition to my collection when she is dont the eat my face stage :P

here is her home in a home built rack.

it workedo ut very nicely it has a tiny gap in the tip along all sides as you can see there is no way she could get out of it.

I have named her, Dixie. she also no longer seems ot be nippy and i had her out last night at 3 am. i saw she was moving around so i picker her up and she seemed allot cooler tempered.

i also figured out what kind of RTB she is. seems to be a common wild caught Anerythristic, lacking the red pigmint.

if some one stops in, and knows. should i offer more to climb and just remove the hides, if they are wasted space. or should i continue to offer them though she wont use them.

you have ball pythons dont you? you dont need the 2 hides really, boas arent like balls they dont really care about hides, a hide like a cardboard box or something wouldnt hurt, i can tell you have balls by how that exact setup has been pounded into everyones head, sorry to disappoint you but thats not an anery, its a common central american bci, also so you know, that little plastic box will last you about 3 or 4 months tops before your gonna have to get a real cage, if you have the cash buy a 4x2 now so you arent wasting your money on smaller caging

Thanks, and yes im aware they don't need the 2 hides but i offer them the same. yes i have a bp, no i don't offer him 2 hides ;) so you guess was luck lol

i also know that its going to grow lol don't worry. thats what i quarantine in. she is getting a viv when she is deemed healthy

and thanks for letting me know she is a normal. it doesn't matter to me really anyhow. :)

oh ok thats for qt, nice idea, i saw that at walmart and was thinking the same thing, where did you get your boa? if you dont mind answering, i just ask because we are in the same city :)

Well im located in Tillsonburg. :) just put the closest major. so i got it from a friend who works at a local pet store. i got her dead cheep so im almost positive she was wild caught.
