New Boa

[starmom]

This is the new Red-tail boa that I got from Basically Boas. She came from Mike's Aby line:
Here she is about to eat me:


Getting ready to eat me:


Here's a good one; she wants to taste prior to eating:


So, she came this morning by FedEx in a box marked "Perishable". I opened the bag and she flew out and bit my arm. Hissing and tagging a towel that I grabbed, I finally got her into her cage. Good gods and goddesses- someone help me please!!!

Aww... she looks like a very beautiful girl, McKinsey!

As for her temper... just give her some time to settle in, see how she does. It's possible she's just completely pissed about having been shipped in a little box, lol.

All the best ones have a little fire in them

EDIT: Just another note... she looks a little dark. Boas tend to go through color phases depending on their temps. She's probably a little cold, too.

She's so pinky! Congrats! I'd love to have a boa from Mike someday...
