    Boa observation

    I havnt had my RTB all that long (all of about 3 weeks now), but even in the short time i've had him i have noticed how content he seems to hang out.

    I suppose what i mean is how different his temperment is then a BP. He's far more calm and relaxed, when i have him out of his tub he isnt looking for a place to hide. He is more apt to just curl up...or explore a little, but not trying to find a place to hide. I love my BP's, but this little RTB certainly has me captivated! I cant wait till he starts to get bigger. This might turn into an even bigger addiction then it already is!

    Any thoughts?

    BCI's tend to be alot more confident than BP's. I got lucky with my bp as he never coils into a ball, he doesnt care what i do to him. But its seems like typical bci behavior. My BCI never uses his hide in his tub and its a pretty regular thing with BCI's to not use hides. Some people will even remove the hides from their enclosures when they are older because they will never use them.

    I just picked up a tiny Hogg Island Boa female and I have noticed the same thing. It is kind of weird because I have never owned a boa, just bps, corns and kings. I'm excited to see how things go as she grows up!

    Just got mine three weeks ago! Double het Snow. I'm starting a breeding project and want to produce my own snow! BCI's are much more curious and confident, it's amazing!
