Ok so i got little Louie. Yes i named him Louie. He was pretty scared and took a shot at me but otherwise seems to be adjusting. He's exploring his new digs now lol. Sorry about the bad pics. Was trying not to disturb him too much. Love his head markings.

Couple more pics of him as he seems pretty happy and exploring every inch of the cage but really seems to love the litter dam....what is it with boas and the AP cage litter dams lol. At least he hasn't pooped in the track yet like Gina did when I got her lol. And I love this guys brown top with silver sides and again, the awesome head markings. Cant wait to see his adult colors in a year or 2. And yes, that is an empty T10 below him *gasp* but that cage is reserved for either a Gila or anoter Pokigron Suriname male from Chris Wolf in a few months Gina might have a boyfriend haha.

Very nice boa Sauzo. Congrats on the new addition!

Nice little guy! I'm glad he is settling in for you. I feel you on the litter dam issues... I've got a hypo that always pushes his nose between the dam and the glass... he has gotten it stuck and had to pull pretty hard to get it out a few times. I'm guessing he is not the smartest boa lol as my others do not do that.

Haha, none of my boas have gotten close to getting stuck. They dont really push into it, just kind of look down in there. They mostly love to try and sit on top of it and balance on it with their bodies haha. My BP though has gotten her head wedged in there and had to pull it out with some force. Looked like a cork popping off a champagne bottle lol. My pythons seem to push with a lot more authority where as the boas just peek in there and move on.

And thanks. The breeder asked that i let her know when the snake arrived and to make sure everything looked good. I told her he kind of took a half hearted jab at me kind of and she was surprised. Said he must have been pretty stressed which I dont find surprising as some of the boxes I've received from FedEx were pretty trashed on. Not sure what they do to some of those boxes but my god....but luckily, he doesnt seem too scarred as he has been on a nonstop mission to check everything out with pitstops at the litter dam to perch on it for a few lol.

Congrats on your good looking boy. I really love how your collection is rounding out!

Well Louie had his first meal tonight. Was feeding day for Gina so i figured I'd pick up another hopper and see if Louie would eat. He was pretty gung ho about it and even though after he ate, he was scared of me, he sure wasnt scared of dinner haha.

And Gina is a bold girl and seemed to know it was dinner time and came out the cage and hung a little out the door waiting for her mouse. She is stupidly fast at grabbing food lol. She shot out like a bullet to grab her mouse off the tongs haha.

Haha, changed out Louie's substrate to Reptichips and he has been playing around ever since. He is practicing his tree boa act lol.
