Hey all,

I bought my first boa this past Sunday, though I haven't picked him up yet as I need to finish setting up his new home. I was originally going to get geckos, but I think I will be much happier with a snake. I've wanted one for several years, and my sister has really helped to get me into this business of having a reptile. She's also the one that recommended this site; she spoke pretty highly of this forum.

My boa is from the Solomon Islands, but I'm still not a hundred percent sold on whether it's a tree or ground snake. I've been looking at a lot of threads and pictures, but until I have him here with me I won't know for sure. He's real calm and docile.

A bit about me: native Floridian originally from Miami; marine tech (I get dirty working on rich people's toys); student - went back last year to finish my Journalism degree; and freelance photographer and writer. I also practically live on my motorcycle.

Talking about myself bores me, so let me get down to exploring the boards some more. I think I've already read every recent thread in the tree boa forum, lol...
