Well it looks like things aren't so sad after all!

It took a couple of days to convince the girlfriend (whom now after more psychology/sociology classes thinks we act like a married couple) to let me call the guy who had her.

Well, after a phone call and $60, I met him, and took her home with me!

Right now she's in a tub that's too small for her, but I'm clearing space, and have a boaphile rack to consolidate my other snakes, so then should be able to get her in something better. She does have warmth and water for now though, and I'm leaving an old shirt in there for a day or two at a time. Other than that, I'm letting her settle.

She's about six feet I would guess from holding her briefly after she got home. and I almost got to join the boa bite club! While handling she tried to turn and go for my arm, but I had a good enough grip to control it. I didn't jerk, or freak out. Just lightly chuckled and told her that those things wouldn't work and she'll have to settle in time.

Now my girlfriend wishes she said no, she's a bit freaked out after the 'near bite'.

On the other hand the little pastel male I picked up is wonderful. He's already eaten, and is currently digesting.
