I'm glad that you can get your boa! My only concern is that I'm sure eventually another little worm will catch your eye and it will be a fight all over again, especially since you want to get into breeding. When you see her in person I really think you should lay down some of your own rules about her involvement in your hobby... It seems very one-sided right now: she essentially gets to yay or nay what animals you can or cannot keep. She isn't your mom, she's your partner!
