Nice looking BI. Kudos on quarantining. Many people skip this step and it can be bad.
Any questions, just ask. There are quite a few Boa peeps on here.
Basically, Boas are amazing eaters, are really quite inquisitive and docile when food isn't around, and are beautiful animals.
Three things to keep in mind (and sorry if you know and/or have kept boas, etc.).
1. Slow grow your boas - very easy to overfeed and difficult to underfeed. Any questions on feeding schedule, prey size, etc. just ask.
2. Your boa will get big. Plan on getting a big enclosure for down the road. Females tend to get noticeably bigger than males. FYI. So keep that in mind. Again, questions on type of enclosure, size, etc. just ask. Just make sure it hold heat AND humidity really well.
3. Hook train. Boas are generally very docile. However, 2/3 of my boas (Feliz - BC - and Behira - BI) will hit the doors striking when they anticipate, or just think food might be coming. This can be bad for them. However, it also means you need to be careful. Hook training is a great way to let them know you are there, are not feeding them, and that they are going to be picked up.
Any other questions, feel free to ask here or PM.
Good luck with your new addition and keep us posted on Scarlette.
P.S. If you aren't sure to post pics, ask. You can imbed imgur etc. pics and that way people do not have to click on the link. The pics will appear on the post.
