    Yes,

    Exactly! She sounds pretty cool. I keep thinking back to when I thought 6 feet was a huge size. I find 8 feet to be a very handleable and impressive size. For a boa constrictor 8 feet is huge, it really is because of the thickness. A female BCC/BCI (BC or BI) at 8 feet is very impressive.

    The addition of a semi arboreal snake will compliment the beautiful but terrestrial STP you have.

    Variety is fun.

    This is entertaining, and I'll bet your girl would actually like a boa.

    Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones, she's a great girl. She puts up with me, so a lot of people would probably consider her a saint, hahaha!!!

    I definitely like variety, hence 4 snakes right now and all different species. I probably won't add a second of any one species unless I just happen to fall crazy in love with a certain species. But, considering how much I love Kings and won't get a second yet I doubt it'll happen. Maybe a boa would prove me wrong though...

    For comparison's sake, what your your Columbian boy weigh at 6+ feet?


    That's a fantastic picture, by the way...

    Thank you.

    I'm not sure on weight. He's about 6.5+ feet. Maybe 10 pounds maybe a little more.

    He's a very easy keep.

    I love Kings as well. I was once the fence between an Eastern Chain King and a carpet. Ultimately I went for a coastal carpet. She's a mutt though. I'm not 100% sure what the genetics are. I'm quite pleased though. Carpets are a wonderful species.

    My wife is tolerant of the hobby but completely disinterested.

    Ok cool, that's actually a bit heavier than I was guessing just looking. He's gorgeous by the way!

    That's funny you say that, I was thinking about a juvenile eastern chain before I got Django, my Cal King. I had a Cal King years ago and when I handled Django I just knew he was the one. He's proven to be my all time favorite snake. And a carpet is definitely on my list. I just wanna go boa next. I've got 2 pythons now and want, you guessed it, variety. Hahaha. But a carpet is only a few spits down the list.

    This is my South Brazilian BCA, Jax. This pic was taken last year when he was about 5'8-9". He is close to 6' now and weighs almost 10lbs. He can still easily be held up with one hand. I'm a shorty at 5'1" tall and can handle him easily.
    Currently keeping:
    1.0 BCA 1.0 BCI
    1.0 CA BCI 1.1 BCLs
    0.1 BRB 1.2 KSBs
    1.0 Carpet 0.5 BPs
    0.2 cresteds 1.2 gargs
    1.0 Leachie 0.0.1 BTS

    Thank you. That's a beautiful animal. Is he named after Jax Teller??

    Is he feeding now or still on a food strike?

    Sorry, haven't updated Juice's thread in a while...

    He's been eating since early June. So far, still a mouser, but he's eating regularly and hasn't refused.

    I'll get some pics up after work.
