Bought a Nicaraguan boa....

[SVT Wylde]

Terrifying trip, I'm sure...he's so pretty, & personally I like his rich coloration. As far as him being "darker"...my BCI used to be lighter or darker at various times,
so maybe wait & see? It wouldn't hurt to feed lighter meals at first anyway...he's likely to feel stressed for a while and better not to rush food.

I’m already attached to him so he isn’t going anywhere. lol He has shed most of his skin and is camped out under his heat emitter. He was raised in a rack and has no idea how to use the Reptile Basics hides I have provided. Considering his journey and shed, he was REALLY cool with handling straight out of the container so he is my buddy for sure. I’ll give him at least 1-2 weeks to settle in.

I’ll give him time to shed and and get used to owning a boa for a while. I’ve always had BP’s in the past.
