    Argie

    Had to snap a pic since she was just hanging out. Anyone else keep BCO? I'd love to see some adults. The one down side to boas for me is they grow slower than my colubrids and pythons. Life has a way of teaching us the lessons we need to learn. Patience is definitely one of mine. I'm looking forward to seeing all my little critters grow.

    She really blends in on that. I'd happily wait for her "slow growth", she's worth it.

    Part of me wishes she would stay the granite like color she is now but I love how dark they can get as adults.

    Yeah I agree. Grey, and grey black snakes are my favorite colors. I’m disappointed that the anery and axanthics loose those colors with age.

    Yeah, a couple of branches would probably get put to good use. She looks great!

    Hey y'all. I'll admit my enclosures could use some interior decorations but I'm not very good with stuff like that. How would you all add branches to a tub or tank?

    What are the dimensions?

    In my 18x18x18 Exo-Terra I have a vaguely "L" shaped piece of grapevine that goes from one diagonal corner to the other (front/right/bottom to rear/left/top). In a 48" long fishtank enclosure I bought a shower rod to be a climbing branch that goes all the way across.

    Since a tank/tub is low friction you either need something that can stand up (so it has to have one side with a base) or it has to go diagonal so the sides of the tank prop it up.

    For baby snakes you could whip up a nice little play-gym out of plastic tinker toys. I've seen people do PVC climbing gyms for bigger snakes, this is just the miniature version of that.
