I just can't get over how fast this girl is growing. This time last year she was probably around 300g. Now she is well over 600 (probably around 700 by now) and growing fast. She is eating anything and everything I offer. Though, even with my attempts to handle her, she is still not calming down. The other day was feeding day and she struck at her tub repeatedly after I had fed her and was feeding the other snakes. She freaks out whenever you try and pick her up (constantly trying to get away or flailing her body around, even if I'm supporting her)
I'm on the fence about whether to keep her and work with her and eventually breed her down the road, or sell her. I really do want to work with boas but she wasn't handled regularly from a baby. She was at first and I'm trying to now, but she just won't calm down.
Oh and that paper towel roll is in there just to give you a reference for size. Oh and does anyone have any clue as to what she actually is? If I remember correctly when I purchased her the sign on the tank said "Baby Columbian Boas." This is the same store that also sold me my normal male corn snake as a hypo.
