    My first boa!

    Checked out the Saratoga Springs Expo today intending to look for a bullsnake and instead wound up with this BCI. I'm leaning toward the name Diego currently, but feel free to leave suggestions. He will be a pet only.

    Also, as a new boa caretaker I am definitely open to advice as there always seems to be those things that you can only learn through experience.

    A bull is in my someday future, but I just got this feeling that he was my snake...Also, there was only one Bull at the show, and when I went back to check it out, someone literally was standing there paying for it. Fate intervening I guess...

    There is something about the boas. They are just an awesome looking snake. I have always wanted a bull. I just recently got one from a breeders clutch. Had him for a little over a month. Still a baby. Once out of quarantine, I will have to post some pics

    Nice looking boa but in the future if you have a snake in the car keep it double-contained in a bag which is in a securely-latched bin. Snakes can get under seats or behind dashboards in a split second.

    Re: My first boa!

    Funny you should mention that; I thought of that also. I had his container in my zippered fold-up back pack I keep in my car. I figured it would be perfect for the task and lightweight in fabric, too, but that the pictures may turn out better without it. I was going to the photoshoot while driving, but since I didn't name him Jesus I couldn't instruct him to take the wheel. ; ) This is going into my 7th year of keeping now 5 species of snake from hatchling/neonate and I've yet to lose one...touch wood...
