    Yay!

    My baby male colombian is coming tommorrow!I'm gonna name him Pedro,from the poll I made for the Bp I never got.Lol.



    This pic was taken from Terrence at PRP(Platinum Reptile P...?).He was awesome,and answered all my questions,and as soon aas he gives me his website name,I'll add it into the breeders section.He gave me a one month guarantee and a live arrival guarantee.But the problem is...

    It eats live mice,and I want to switch it to f/t rats,which from the caresheets I read,it isn't hard.Has anyone converted a boa from live mice,to f/t rats?

    Nice boa! I like the darker ones... very pretty Boas have a pretty intense feeding response... definately NOT like BPs. I doubt you'll have any trouble converting him over. If he's hungry and smells food, he'll go for it.

    I had no issues getting mine to eat f/t. Boas have awesome feeding responses!

    Cool; boas are awesome. Mine is known as the "garbage disposal" because on the rare occasions that one of my BPs refuses a meal; Apache takes it in no time!
