Hey folks, I've been waiting for this moment for weeks now, and the time has finally come. My first boa came home today, his name is Brady. Here is a few photos, sorry about the quality, I've already come to learn that they don't stay as still as royals lol. Hope you enjoy.

Well the three times I went to visit him in the shop he hissed like crazy when I took his lid off, but after a minute or so of handling he's absolutely fine, so inquisitive. But yea, in sure it'll come lol |

Aw what a cutie. Bet he had a nice good grip of your arm there. I'm sure Brady will soon be finding a comfy position on you when out and then playing statues for ages. |

Cheers baobab :). I'm chuffed to bits with him! Yes he was actually surprisingly strong considering how small he is. Dread to think what he'll be like in a years time lol. I look forward to that day, but in the mean time I have a settling in period to persevere with :( |

Oh Boas are strong alright, there is definitely a reason for them having constrictor in their name. Sanke is around the 5 foot mark (1kg) and it amazes me how she can turn my hand red gripping my arm and that is just them holding on they aren't even trying all that hard, no wonder prey dies fast when they do really squeeze. |

Thanks chris :). I'd love another one, but before I got this one I asked my landlord if I can add on to our 3 royals and she agreed to let us have 2 more snakes and a beardie. So now were allowed one more snake, my girlfriends choosing it and I think she wants a hoggie. |

I think a burm is a step too far for me lol. An afrock? Bloody hell lol. You must have a big house. What are they like? Temperament wise? |

I know I couldn't believe it myself! I've just weighed him and he weighs less than half of my royals, but is just as strong, if not stronger. Yea I can't wait :) |

sorry missed your comment. its male so should get to around 10-14ft possibly bigger, they have a very bad reputation for being agressive and defencive but i do like mental/feisty snakes so should be fun sweet he is holding the snake for me till the weekend |
