Re: Tarahumara newcomers
Awesome - I love the look & size of Tarahumara Boas. I am actually considering getting a pair in the future.

Re: Tarahumara newcomers
Just a quick update photo of the lovely Freda as she checks out the camera earlier today. Both babies are still hissy little asses when I first pick them up, but always settle down almost immediately. Once settled, they are just a delight to handle - slow, gentle, and not shy. I have a feeling these two are going to grow into fantastic snakes in the "nice to hang out with" category, which I do enjoy.

Here's Paco, the male of this pair. He and Freda just turned 9 months old. He was still hissy in his enclosure but a real pleasure to handle once he was out. After hanging out on this perch for awhile as I did enclosure cleaning, I extended my hand to him and he climbed up my arm without hesitation. I'm just really enjoying these little Boas.

That's so cute when snakes do that. What's not to love?

Mine does the same thing in her upgraded enclosure (4x2x2). Whenever I put her back in the enclosure, she immediately climbs back to her hide up on the shelf on the cool side. She has 4 hides to choose from, 2 types of substrate, and various types of cover - but all she wants to do is go back to the same hide and sit there with her head sticking out. Rarely, she'll perch for a bit with her head looking down, but she's shown 0 interest in exploring her new mansion. She's eating fine, no longer hisses, and is calm as can be when held. I'm wondering if they ever get very curious or active.
Do those of you with older Tarahumaras find that they hide a lot? Curious if this is something they grow out of or do they stay mostly inactive?

Re: Tarahumara newcomers
I missed the photo of Paco and Freda's brother! We are snake family now!
At just over a year old, these little ones are very calm and sweet now. I'm very glad to have them. I suspect that the lack of exploration may be due to enclosure size; when mine were in their baby tubs they were out and about a lot more.
