New addition to my family

[JeffJ]

This is a beautiful little female Central American Boa, i picked her up because i could not get over how gorgeous her pattern is. All the cental american boas i have seen have been very dark pattern. this one is the first i have seen of its color. Now im new to boa's so im unsure if she is a specific type. but i also need name ides

here are some pics sorry the image quality sucks its my PDA camera. im at work

I asked the guy what she was, he just said central american boa. didnt say anything specifically. can any one help me out on this?

Im excited. im building a rack tonight too, but she is going quarintine for 90 days first

I want a Boa so badly. I just love their head structure. I just dont have the room for one.

im building a home made rack out of stuff you can buy at wal-mart and your local pet store. if i have time ill put a parts list and a general how to.

then you will have room

She's a cutie! Nice pattern. Congrats!

[JeffJ]

Thanks, i think she will be a great addition to my collection when she is dont the eat my face stage

here is her home in a home built rack.

it workedo ut very nicely it has a tiny gap in the tip along all sides as you can see there is no way she could get out of it.

I have named her, Dixie. she also no longer seems ot be nippy and i had her out last night at 3 am. i saw she was moving around so i picker her up and she seemed allot cooler tempered.

i also figured out what kind of RTB she is. seems to be a common wild caught Anerythristic, lacking the red pigmint.

if some one stops in, and knows. should i offer more to climb and just remove the hides, if they are wasted space. or should i continue to offer them though she wont use them.

you have ball pythons dont you? you dont need the 2 hides really, boas arent like balls they dont really care about hides, a hide like a cardboard box or something wouldnt hurt, i can tell you have balls by how that exact setup has been pounded into everyones head, sorry to disappoint you but thats not an anery, its a common central american bci, also so you know, that little plastic box will last you about 3 or 4 months tops before your gonna have to get a real cage, if you have the cash buy a 4x2 now so you arent wasting your money on smaller caging
