Was doing the rounds tonight of digging in substrate for hidden 'easter eggs' and as I was scooping a poop out of the front corner of Luna's T10, I see this little head sneaking up on my hand lol. Who says Dumeril boas don't like to climb? Luna will prove them wrong lol.

Your little beauty is sure growing quite well.
I've wanted a Dum for so long, but other snakes keep getting in the way. And now I'm about out of room. I reckon I'll live vicariously through you and Red Shepard for now.
Please keep updating as she grows!
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Thanks man. I was my reptile shop today buying everyone dinner and they had 2 hatchling Coastal Carpet Pythons. I was sooooo tempted lol. They were so cute. They were about 12" each and had the tiniest little heads and were cruising all over. I got 2 extra cages, one if i end up following through with getting a Gila but not sure. I really cant afford a bite from one as I'm sure it would put me out of commission for a couple weeks. Want a Pucallpa Peruvian BCC and a Peruvian Longtail boa BCL but those 2 little coastal carpets were so freakin cute!! How's the temperament on your coastals?

My three Coastals and 2 Jungles are tame as can be. If you get a hatchling Expect it to be defensive for the first year to year and a half. Could be more or less. If it never is, then consider yourself blessed.
I really feel that Allison will grow out of her defensiveness. And your pet shop will be able to sell her soon, if not already.

They still have her and she is still defensive. Not as bad to tag you across the cage anymore but they use a hook on her also and said she is still 'sassy'. And yeah the coastals are hatchlings. They have had them about a month or two she told me but when they got them, they were tiny. Right now, when i looked at them, they are about as thick as a pencil and like 12".
She told me they are nippy like pretty much all carpets but being as young as they are, she said if i picked one, i shouldnt have a problem taming it down if handled a little every week.

Looking great.
A very neat part of the boa family IMO.
You have a nice solid collection.

A young carpet bite is nothing. Mine was a yearling and bit me often. I started going right ar her with a tight, closed fist and she wasn't too interested in biting. I also used a perch and she felt much more comfortable being out.
Not sure where I'd fall between a Brisbane locale coasty or an Iquitos Peruvian though. Boas are awesome but so are carpets.

Yeah, those little coastals were sooooo cute but after thinking a bit, i think I'm going to hold out for either an Iquitos or Pucallpa Peruvian BCC and a high contrast Peruvian Longtail BCL. I've always been a boa guy. I know what they are about and my 'kids' have all been awesome so no reason to deviate from the plan

Very understandable, it's a tough choice in which neither is wrong!
