    I love the iridescence on boas when they just shed,

    She’s my first Boa. I wish I had gotten into Boa’s sooner! Makes my corns & Royal seem lazy such a curious noodle

    I noticed this recently while watching a few videos around boas.. Only thing that puts me off of getting one myself is the fact that ive "heard" lots of bad stuff. I guess this comes down to regular handling and snake/owner relationship?

    Yes I heard a lot of negatives in the past about them but since getting her, I can truthfully say Boa’s are an exceptional snake. Such good characters, only when they’re young they tend to be abit defensive but most snakes are while young. Out of all my snakes, the Boa is by far the most inquisitive and loves to explore. I admire them that much I’m already planning my second Boa!

    Boas really are quite a confident snake in my opinion too. Nearly always good eaters

    like any wild animals you get some grumpy ones but on the whole mine are all pretty much relaxed and hate going back in once out

    She looks great, thanks for the photos.

    Boas Rock!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Your girl is gorgeous and looks to be extremely well taken care of. Boas are incredible animals, only reason I switched was because of serious health issues. Balls are fun, I have two that ride like a parrot of my shoulder and arm. But boas, they love just to be out and chill. Beautiful animal best wishes!!
