Hi! I got my first boa yesterday. She’s a Suriname Red Tail from Snakes at Sunset and I absolutely love her.
This set up is temporary but for now its good while she’s still little (I’d say she’s about a foot and a half to two feet maybe? I’ll measure her after I’ve let her get used to her new environment for a few days). I’m only assuming she’s female, I’ll either pop her or have my vet probe her to be sure but I’m hoping she turns out to be so.
I’m already loving her attitude. When I was unpacking her, she was very wary of my hand so I let her come out of it on her own. I held her for a bit and admired her beautiful tail and the lovely pink blush all over her face and sides (she’s gorgeous, pictures just don’t do her justice) before I put her in her new enclosure to let her get settled in. This morning I sprayed her enclosure to keep up the humidity and I noticed a noise as I was spraying the tank. I stopped spraying and realized she was hissing at me because I had sprayed her on accident. I called my friend over to listen and snapped the quick pic above then I left her alone so I could finish getting ready for school. Its a nice change to what I’m used to since my bp has never hissed or bit anyone but this girl almost bit me and my friend yesterday when we were getting her out of the package and she was definitely ready to bite this morning.
Now my only problem is... what should I name her?
