Early Birthday Present...

[lillyorchid]

A few weeks ago I was telling my bestfriend how I don't know anything about boa constrictor's. His reply was "you'll learn". I didn't think anything of it... till two days ago when it all added up.

I got a few text messages from him sending me pictures of boa's. Nothing unusual since he sends me pic's of ball pythons and boa's all the time. I once again didn't think anything about it. I got one picture and I replied "That one is really pretty"... he sent me another one and I replied with "Awww what a cutie". Later that night I get a link sent to me. I check it out and low and behold it's that same baby boa from the pictures. The link was to her sale page. I asked why he was sending me her pictures and his reply was "You got to start somewhere". I just wrote "LOL". He wrote back "she is yours if you want her". I was shocked! So of course I emailed the guy who had her and we went out and picked her up yesterday. I only got to see her for a mear 30 minutes on the car ride back to his house.

So today on my way home from work I dropped by to say hello to her and snagged a few pictures!










So there she is.

Now to think up a name to fit her...

Cute snake. The gloves are for?

[lillyorchid]

because.... it's 33°F outside and with the wind chill it feels like 25°F. I HATE THE COLD! Anything under 70 and I'm freezing. So I just never took off the coat or gloves.

[Freakie_frog]

Cute and the snakes nice too.

LOL I'm CLUELESS on Boa's! Apparently she is a hypo.... and as for the bci or bcc... I have no idea.


I'm over here reading up on Boa's as I write this!

Pretty snake. The second picture is really cute.

BCI is boa constrictor imperator, which is the common red-tail boa (Columbian).

BCC is boa constrictor constrictor, which is more expensive boas, such as the Surinam or Peruvian locales.

Very nice hypo! If there was one snake that I would own (besides another ball python ) a BCI/BCC would be it.

So my girl is a BCI?
