Well folks, I don't know if any of you read my post about the Salmon morph RTB I bought from Prehistoric Pets, that was advertised on their site as a baby. I had just gotten a baby normal RTB, and to go along with my pair of ball pythons I just figured what the heck... what's one more gonna do..? Well, as it turns out, the ad was almost 2 years old. This was not ever made clear to me until after I had paid for the snake and it had been shipped. Of course, I had a small terrarium set up for this baby I was expecting. When it arrived, come to find out... he's basically the same size as my 13 year old ball pythons... only a bit thinner (and a lot more nervous around people). I was livid, and had heard from many people that I should send it back. So, I got the shipping label and about 15 minutes before I was about to drop it off at the UPS drop off point, my heart just wouldn't let me do it. I immediately went to Wal-Mart and bought the biggest sterilite they had, which is only temporary until my AP cage arrives. But I must admit, I'm glad I had a change of heart. While he may be a bit aggressive, and hard to handle, he's absolutely gorgeous and he eats like a champ. My only conclusion is that over at Prehistoric Pets (in California), he was rarely EVER handled. Probably just long enough to clean the cages and that's it. I've dealt with snakes all my life so I'm not afraid of a bite. I just expected another boa that is as docile as my baby female. I'm hoping that with time and effort he will come around. He seems to be doing a bit better. I've named him Rocky... as in, balBOA (aren't I clever??) .


Also let me take this time to apologize for not being available to participate in the forums as much as I'd like. I work for the town's public works dept' and it has been hectic lately. So anyway, I honestly do plan to become an active member here (again).

Anybody have any suggestions on commercial brand rock hides that will suit a boa? I'd appreciate the feedback on that.

Here is a recent photo of the lil guy to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about. Thanks for reading and I look forward to some replies if you all have time.
