[cletus]

your a good ambassador for the species, i want one now !

She really is. lol She doesn't appear to have a weak animal in her collection. The great photography doesn't hurt either. lol

I've always loved Vigil, I think she is very beautiful.

I'm pleased to hear that haha, she is the least loved snake I have! Most people I know thinks she's scary or ugly.

She's gorgeous.

thanks!

Thanks omg, I'm super flattered! 10/10 highly recommend dumeril's boas or madagascar ground boas for everybody. LOL

I'm a fool, I should just post my dum pics in my own thread. Pffbht

I don't know if I'm just getting increasingly impatient, or if she stopped growing. (probably the first) PLEASE GROW FASTER YOUNG ONE, I would very much appreciate it if you were 7 ft already, thx. My fault for getting a dum and being paranoid about a boa growing "too fast" or "too big". LIES. ALL LIES.

A 5'6" boa is much smaller than you'd imagine, you heard it here first folks.

She doesn't look that small!

I agree with Cletus. Look at your first post on this thread - it's from 4-5 months ago. There's are marked difference in her size. You wanna complain about slow-growing. My male is 8 months old and he's barely over 200g. He's gorgeous though and I can tell he's grown a bunch since I got him.

Pshhh, small enough!! (jokes, half jokes) I want her head to eventually be large enough that I could hold it on my palm like a hot cross bun.

Oh yeah, she's definitely grown since then! It's funny that she could perch on my shoulder back then like that, but doing that is getting more and more awkward now. I've been staring at her and telling her to grow an inch a week. WHY DOES SHE NOT, HOW DARE. (JK)

That is so funny about your male! How small! I skipped that whole size/age, since I got mine at 2. It's pretty amazing that baby dums are so much smaller than hatchling ball pythons, but their final adult size is way bigger.

That is funny about the growth rate vs size difference. I have a male BP that I bought around August of last year. He was around 450g then. Now he's almost 1000g. Meanwhile the Dum can barely keep weight on. I may have to increase his intake though - I feed him on Wednesdays and by Sun/Mon he's acting hungry.

Dang, your BP is also a quick grower! I bet he's a good eater LOL. My little female I got last September at around 170g is now 555g, and I thought she was growing fast.

Hmm maybe a bump in food size would do too? My dum right now is eating a large rat every 3.5 weeks (I know this is almost impossible to compare though LOL).

[redshepherd]

I thought I'd post... Vigil next to herself! LOL



Anyway, photo dump! She's probably about 4.5 years old.
Trying to show her size but realizing I have no handy standard objects to compare her to, so here is a red pocket. This is on a cal king size bed.






Little face... or rather, medium face now.

[redshepherd]

Sorry, I mean almost 4 years old now, not 4.5! Omg, getting their dates all mixed up.
