Female sunglow poss het anery

[CloudtheBoa]

My newest pick up, from the Atlanta show. Bought from David at Ball and Chains. I'm going to get some birth info ect. when I get home. It was a close run between her and a snow, but the one snow I liked was male so she won out. Haha

More pics to come when I can get her in the sun.

Thanks! She was my second favorite boa at the show, and she's already looking nice can't wait to see her with some size.

Here's some more pics as promised.

Thanks everyone it was a hard choice between her and a snow, but I think even if she doesn't prove out I made a good choice.

So I got the info back on her, and she's a Kahl strain sunglow het anery type I, and was born June 3.

I weighed her when I got her home and she's 80 grams but looked like she was holding in a poo. I've seen her out since then and she looks thinner in the back so I'm gonna root around for it in a bit and try not to disturb her.

Nice snake,

And I really like how you have become tuned in with feeding. Cloud looks great and it's refreshing to see people who know when to slow down the food cycle for adult boas.

I can see you having an army of lean, in shape snakes.

They will live long lives by doing what you are doing.

Nice pickup.

Thanks! The breeder I got her from implemented a similar feeding schedule; he's been feeding her a properly-sized mouse every 10 days since birth, so she's being started out right, and is pure muscle! Currently, she's on small hopper mice every 10 days. They leave a small bulge, but not much of one and the bulge disappears after 24 hours. Once she's big enough for rat fuzzies I'll begin the switch over.

I was holding out on pictures in the hope that BP.net would start working on Tapatalk again since it's quicker and easier to upload photos, but it doesn't seem that's going to happen any time soon. So, here's some more photos now that she's settled in (it's actually a lot)! She's taken one meal successfully so far, and her next feeding day is in a few days. I waited a couple days after she came home to offer as she had a big back end, and she pooed from her most recent meal ~3-4 days ago. I gave her 5 days after bringing her home to start handling her, and I've been handling her very little (once 2 days after she ate, and that last time I handled her was Tuesday). If she takes her next meal as well as her first, after that I will probably begin handling her more regularly. So far she's been a doll and isn't defensive or touchy in the least. She's very tolerant to her head being touched, even more so than Cloud ever was.

Since Saturday or Sunday, she's been regularly coming out at night to explore, and really loves the vine I have in there for her, it's got a magnetic stem so it will stay in place. She's also begun to actually use her hot end since I bumped up the thermostat's setting a bit more, it just wasn't reaching through the plastic well enough. I have yet to see her use the humid hide, but in my experience snakes only use them when they're shedding so she may just not need it yet.

I think that about covers what I've noted about her during this time, she's definitely been a treat so far! It's soooo good to have another baby BCI. Now onto pictures!

A picture I missed from the day I got her, it's my favorite from that day.












These are from her most recent handling session.
