Yes,

Exactly! She sounds pretty cool. I keep thinking back to when I thought 6 feet was a huge size. I find 8 feet to be a very handleable and impressive size. For a boa constrictor 8 feet is huge, it really is because of the thickness. A female BCC/BCI (BC or BI) at 8 feet is very impressive.

The addition of a semi arboreal snake will compliment the beautiful but terrestrial STP you have.

Variety is fun.

This is entertaining, and I'll bet your girl would actually like a boa.

Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones, she's a great girl. She puts up with me, so a lot of people would probably consider her a saint, hahaha!!!

I definitely like variety, hence 4 snakes right now and all different species. I probably won't add a second of any one species unless I just happen to fall crazy in love with a certain species. But, considering how much I love Kings and won't get a second yet I doubt it'll happen. Maybe a boa would prove me wrong though...

For comparison's sake, what your your Columbian boy weigh at 6+ feet?


That's a fantastic picture, by the way...

Thank you.

I'm not sure on weight. He's about 6.5+ feet. Maybe 10 pounds maybe a little more.

He's a very easy keep.

I love Kings as well. I was once the fence between an Eastern Chain King and a carpet. Ultimately I went for a coastal carpet. She's a mutt though. I'm not 100% sure what the genetics are. I'm quite pleased though. Carpets are a wonderful species.

My wife is tolerant of the hobby but completely disinterested.

Ok cool, that's actually a bit heavier than I was guessing just looking. He's gorgeous by the way!

That's funny you say that, I was thinking about a juvenile eastern chain before I got Django, my Cal King. I had a Cal King years ago and when I handled Django I just knew he was the one. He's proven to be my all time favorite snake. And a carpet is definitely on my list. I just wanna go boa next. I've got 2 pythons now and want, you guessed it, variety. Hahaha. But a carpet is only a few spits down the list.

This is my South Brazilian BCA, Jax. This pic was taken last year when he was about 5'8-9". He is close to 6' now and weighs almost 10lbs. He can still easily be held up with one hand. I'm a shorty at 5'1" tall and can handle him easily.

Thank you. That's a beautiful animal. Is he named after Jax Teller??

Is he feeding now or still on a food strike?

Sorry, haven't updated Juice's thread in a while...

He's been eating since early June. So far, still a mouser, but he's eating regularly and hasn't refused.

I'll get some pics up after work.

A day late, but here are a few...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6d70d29910.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6539fa15ca.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bb95a279e8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...53145f162c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9239b92173.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...22b3d9e946.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a29a46c9c2.jpg
