AHHHHHH! I've been drooling over that boa for awhile! John is from around my area and I've been meaning to catch up with him at a couple shows - specifically to see this one! I haven't been able to, mostly because I know I'm not ready for a boa yet... that's so funny that you grabbed him! Big congrats, I think this baby is super beautiful, and yes, John is awesome to work with.
