    I've always wanted one of these too! A little intimidated by their "typical attitude" though... can't wait to see!

    Re: New Pickup!!! Argentine Boa

    Very cool pick up congrats. I used to own one of these and it's very possible to tame one down by handling. Because of how pissy argentine's can be give her a little extra time to digest before handling cause she'll probably throw up. If you plan to handle for a decent period of time anyway.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Her name's Babs. She's actually quite sweet. I look forward to seeing how they grow up. I'm happy to see her sibling! Thanks for sharing.

    Gorgeous, I had one in the early nineties. They tame down, just like to huff and puff a bit when younger. Congratulations.
