af ew pics of Apache and his cage

Here are a few new pics of his cage and him too. I switched to a more naturalistic terrarium approach, using cypress mulch over a layer of eco-earth. I keep it pretty dry though, to prevent scale rot. And I put a sheet of newspaper down atop the substrate before feeding, to eliminate any risk of him swallowing wood.
He loves his half-log hide. The hide on the left is his cool hide and is actually just some grapevine that he loves to entwine himself in.

I'm telling you guys, I love ball pythons. But Apache is so much "funner" to handle. :)

How big is Apache? I have a 26 incher, i love him to death. I love my BP too, but I agree Boas are just funner to handle, maybe its because i like handling large snakes, and well he isn't big, but hes bigger than my 14inch Cupid.

Apache is almost three feet now.

Beautiful cage setup you got there Gin, and a very nice looking Boa too. Congrats

Awwww, he is pretty, his cage is awesome too.

Very nice.......

gen, when was he born? adrian was born april 4, and is 3ft, around the same size

I agree about the BP vs. the RTB and handling. The Boa almost feels at home in your hands. I love the way the long thin tail is always reaching for something. BP unlike the Boa have short stubby tails and just don't feel as comfortable in the air. Atleast when they are young.

He's getting nice and big :). Your cage setup is awesome!

my boa was born on March 1, 2004. And he is 26inches. I like the way all snakes feel when you hold them, especially the big ones :o
