I've said it before and I know I'll say it again - she's beautiful. Definitely contacting Chris about obtaining one for my collection.

Thanks. If you want a Rio Bravo Pokigron Suri, I would recommend Chris Wolf for sure. Like I said, I have been talking to him through FB messenger just about boas and stuff and he is really awesome. One of the best breeders I've dealt with personally. I believe he will have another litter around summer but gotta be quick. Like I said, the 3 he had up for sale, went in 2 hours. The 2 females were gone in about an hour lol. Some guy snatched up the right pic one and I wanted the left pic one so it worked out perfect for us haha.

Right in the door track!!! That's hilarious... but really, that snake is absolutely gorgeous. Not going to lie I'm kinda jealous haha. Never really been a boa guy personally but seeing this animal is making me reconsider.

Holy cow, what a first feeding. I always feed my babies on a sheet of printer paper. Well this time I figured the suri was new and I didn't want to stress her out so I just fed her normally. I gave her a smaller than normal meal as she is eating medium mice but I gave her a hopper to start out and just work up to mediums again. Well she ate it and got a whole mouthful of Eco Earth. So much she couldn't close her mouth fully.

So I let her sit there for about 30 mins figuring she would figure it out. Nope not really lol. So I had to intervene, I tried 'brushing' it off with a twisted up paper towel while she was in the back of the cage. Well that pissed her off and she hissed at me lol. So I left her alone about 20 mins more and still nothing. So I said, ok little snake, tough love time. I grabbed her out and put her above and kind of in her water bowl. She dunked her head a couple times and kind of swam underwater lol. I then used a wet paper towel to wipe her 'lips' off and wipe downward to pull out anything that was stuck. Well that worked, her mouth now closes normally.

She was a real trooper and took it although she did darken up in color showing her objection to this lol. One heck of a first feeding haha. After all this I showed her her warm hide door and she was more than happy to crawl in there lol. Thank god I fed her on the small side. Figure now she can get anything that I missed out on her own as I got the majority of it. Lesson learned, probably stressed her out more with all I did than it would have been to just slide a sheet of printer paper under her lol.

Anyways, here's a pic of her with the little F/T mouse. She looked so happy with it too lol.

Wow, that was definitely an eventful first feeding. Beautiful animal. Every time I think I'm all set I learn about a new snake like this and start thinking about how much more room I have for another! Good luck and enjoy!

Well, Gina ate her little hopper mouse last night and then had one heck of day today with me having to clean out a giant chew of Eco Earth in her lower lip lol. She is a resilient little bugger cause after all that, at lights out, she was out and cruising around. Guess its a good thing I just fed her a hopper to prime the pump but not to really fill her up. Here she is after lights out seeing what's happening. This little girl is awesome. Such a trooper lol.

Really sweet looking body on that girl. (That actually sounds wrong LOL!)

Anyhow, I've had that same EcoEarth issue. I put paper down to prevent it occasionally but somehow they find a way to drag the rat/quail or habit off the paper.

A little doesn't hurt them, but when it gets packed in there like you had to deal with, I agree it is best wash it out.

I have two Rio Bravo Pokis not far from me and if they ever breed I may join your club.

Love your boa and really like picture 3.

Well, tonight with the first night of hanging out with Gina a little and letting her explore the bed and me. Snapped some pics but couldn't really get anything super as I didn't want to stress Gina out by moving fast or moving a lot. Wanted her first time hanging out me to be a positive experience instead of the dat after I got her and I had to flush Eco earth out of her mouth after her hopper mouse lol.
