    No problem with buying from the little guy! The most important part is to buy from someone who's honest and knows what their doing so you get a great animal! Congrats on the beautiful little guy!

    Re: Our first boa

    lol im debating when i should feed him. The breeder fed him on sunday. Said he fed em every 4 days as babies. Tomorrow would make day 4 was wondering if i should feed him or still hold and wait longer.

    When boas are stressed do they move around the cage trying to escape or no? Because he just sits on his log all day. Sometimes he sits on top or inside it or around it lol.

    Beautiful boa you picked up there! Offer it to him, if he eats, great! I'd feed him every 7 days at this point, since he looks like he's got a nice belly there, but that's me. Just don't let him get fat.

    Mine do the same thing. They spend most of the time laying on top of the hides or on or around the branches...

    I don't know about that, but I'm sure there's some good opinions around the web if you do a google search and check what breeders recommend. I only am diverting you to a search because I don't want to give an opinion that could be wrong.
