Another week's gone by and this girl continues to spoil me with how good she is. She took her second f/t meal at home and continues to be an angel when I have her out. I seriously lucked out with her - she's all I wanted in a first snake. My only cause for concern with her is that she hasn't pooped or passed urates yet - she seems to be adequately hydrated, but almost three weeks seems like a long time.
Big changes will be coming her way in a month or so. I'm in the process of ordering her PVC enclosure, and it should get here in mid-October if all goes well. I've had some good luck locating information about Sonoran boas' habits in the wild, so I should be able to design a nice naturalistic biotope for her before she has to move in in late-October/November. While I'm a bit nervous about moving her up to a bigger cage at her age, I just don't feel like struggling to keep the temps up over the winter in her current glass tank. The average ambients in my apartment were 62-64 F last winter, and I don't know if that will change for the better or not (I have steam radiators and no real control over the heat).
