    Re: Feliz - Venezuelan "Dwarf" BCC

    I love how golden he's getting especially against the colour of his tail, getting a nice size too

    Re: Feliz - Venezuelan "Dwarf" BCC

    Got a few pictures of Feliz tonight.

    The Food Response is Strong With This One. Hook training is absolutely necessary with him (I hook train all my boas, and Yafe, the Carpet Python). He's ready to nail anything that moves every time I take the drape off (another must for him - otherwise he just nails the acrylic door half the time with movement). I usually unlock 2/3 of the locks with drape up, pop it off quick, and open and tap before he has a chance to strike.

    Don't get me wrong, he's not vicious by any stretch. He just loves his food. I've had him strike, and then 5 seconds later, 2 taps with the hook, and I can scoop him right up. He's a dream once out and being handled. Behira (Ghost BI) used to be more like this, but has calmed a little bit. Feliz is showing no signs of slowing down at almost 2 1/2 years old.

    Also, if I handle earlier in the day, when he's not in "hunt mode," it's usually 9X easier. He's pretty placid until the evening, when he starts looking for food.

    His colors and contrast are getting so rich and dramatic. He looks good, but this is in bad light with an iPhone camera. He really is starting to "pop."

    Re: Feliz - Venezuelan "Dwarf" BCC

    Dry today, Feliz was 495G. He's almost 2 1/2 years old and is putting on size, but slow and steady. He's also male and a dwarf species, so he doesn't have as much to go as my other two boas do.

    He's a handsome guy and really likes to grip hard when out, but not in a mean way, he's just a "gripper." I held an adult Suriname BCC at a Reptile Expo today, and I guess it's a BCC thing. My two BI's are much more gentle when they grip.

    I don't mind it, but he's a sturdy boy. At the same weight, Behira didn't act as strong anyway.

    It's fun having different animals and comparing and contrasting and getting to know their tendencies and personalities. I love them all. I really like that I'll have Feliz (small/medium), Jeff (male BI - medium), and Behira (female BI - medium/large), when it comes to boas anyway.

    Anyway, here are a few pics.

    Re: Feliz - Venezuelan "Dwarf" BCC

    Haven't felt well much of the new year, but on days like today, when I feel good, I am making a concerted effort to spend time with the reptiles. I keep up on cleaning, etc. but haven't had as much time for bonding.

    Had Feliz out a bit today and he's a dream. So calm and so handsome.

    I hope you feel better. I am enamored with his colors.
