Awwwww. Thank you so much.Originally Posted by ClarinetPhoenix
I've been a silent lurker of your thread(s) tbh. Been reading and lurking and learning more about how to care and handle Mosaic, I especially work with her on hook training based off the things I've read by you. She's a little feisty so I have had to use my hook to make sure I don't get tagged when I gotta get in the cage. She seems to be in food mode 50% of the time.
Your Yafe is about the same age as my Mosaic, a striped Coastal, who I bought as baby in the summer of 2018(wow, its been almost two years already), its interesting to see the similarities in size and growth rate at this time. She's roughly the same weight and length as your Yafe.
He's a beautiful boy, and I can definitely see him putting on that girth and length and I'm glad you have such a calm boy and glad he is doing so well after all the ordeals you had to go through.
You too also inspired me on Boas with your thread on Behira.
Just felt like leaving a word today. Back to lurking.
Mosaic is a beauty and I am so glad you got into Boas. Rowan is a looker too!
I think Mosaic will get quite a bit bigger than Yafe will, but it's cool they are on similar growth trajectories.
The hook works great once they get accustomed to it and know what it means - NO FOOD! Having said that, I remove all my bigger snakes and food oriented snakes when I do maintenance in tank. I find that reduces the risk of a bite. Mosaic seems calmer once out, is that correct?
It was a roller coaster ride with Yafe in the beginning, but it's paid off. He's really is an awesome snake and not only is he pretty calm, but he's my only real display snake. He loves being on his perches and checking out what's going on around him.
Let's keep our fingers crossed on Behira, but I am (cautiously) optimistic. I love that she helped inspire you to get a Boa. That's awesome.
Thank you again and I'll continue to keep everyone in the loop. You do the same with your crew!
