This is what happens when I let him go to a reptile show on his own.

I wasn’t on my own. I had a 9 year old supervising!

Congrats Dave. He's badass brother. I love his colors, pattern, and that tail stripe.

Thanks EL-Ziggy. The boas have a special place in my heart, and he is so incredibly chill, and so stunning. Yes, I love the tail stripe and what looks like a dog bone in his pattern towards the tail. The arrow on his head is cool too! I can't wait to watch him intensify with age. He already glows.

I've regretted finding Boas so late in my (reptile) life, so it's only fitting they be the dominant snake in my collection. Now I'll have BIG Behira, Medium Jeff, and Small (relative) Feliz. I've got sizes, colors, patterns, etc. all covered. They are also all wonderful animals from a personality wise, but seemingly, all different.

What a fantastic new addition to your collection Dave , great markings on him,
Can't wait to watch his progression and see his colours come in.
Looks like meghan had fun too.

Really glad you went with the sunglow, since you where drawn to that first one you ever held, I think you made the right choice
Congratulations

Thank you Rich. I am so glad I got a sunglow. I held a Sharp Sunglow at the show and liked a Sunglow Motleybesque, but the latter was with a breeder who didn't offer to have me hold him. Something about Jeff spoke to me and I can't argue with the color, pattern, or genetics.

It means something to me that I finished where I started. Both with the same breeder, and with a sunglow. I feel like I've closed the loop now. I couldn't be happier with the final addition. Let's just hope Jeff isn't into striking acrylic doors . What are the odds? Katie, how fresh are your drape making skills?

Look at that precious face!!!! Congrats, man. He is freaking adorable.

Thank you Team Slytherin.

I know. How cool is he going to be with a black mustache and a striking yellow and red body. Oh, and those eyes!

VERY. NICE. PICKUP!!!!!!

Congrats Dave, that is one awesome animal!!! Very nice choice!!!

Thank you Craig. I appreciate the comment. As stated above, it was almost destiny to close the collection down with him. It's funny. I wasn't going to go to the show, but asked Meghan if she wanted to, on a whim. Fortuitous? She was waiting at the door when I get there yesterday morning. Jacket, bag, etc. ready to go. Glad I went.

Love to see the next generation of herpers get recognition. Gorgeous snake as well.

Jeff was out exploring last night and I actually caught him drinking from his water bowl (I got lucky). As soon as the lights went out today, out he came from his hide and began looking around again.

I am happy to see him (seemingly) adjusting well. He's being left alone but his quarantine tank is in my office, so I do get to view him much of the time.

The picture below was him this morning. "I am a snake, and a little one, so I hide. However, I am also a Boa, so I peek out so I don't miss anything, like FOOD!"
