No, he is really shy. Took over a year for him to get more or less used to me. He's really curious and LOVES to climb. He also LOVES food even more than Caesar i think and that is saying a lot lol. I have been told by a lot of people with BCL that being extra shy and taking a long time to warm up to someone is normal behavior for the species. They definitely arent a BCI or BCC as far as boldness goes lol.

And yeah, i like the look of BCLs too. They are like mother natures IMG boa. Also they arent very common. The founder of BCL Fanatics FB page who breeds lots of BCLs like Denton and i believe Bessette lines told me the Meltzer line of BCLs is a pretty hard line to find nowadays. She also told me Louie is pretty dark for not being a visual anery and only just turning 2 years old. But anyways, BCL are different than BCI and BCC except for feeding. They also prefer it a little cooler as they come from the Tumbes area in Peru which is overall cooler with lows in the mid to high 60s. I almost never catch Louie on the flexwatt.

Looking really good sauzo

He's gorgeous! Can't wait for Artemis to gain in size and to see how her coloring will end up. Hopefully half as awesome as Louie!

Thanks. Louie is still a baby. He just turned 2 years old. He was a really dark baby to start with. From what i was told, with how dark he was at such a young age, that he should be anery but he is only het anery. So figure in another year, he should top out in color.
