Hey guys. Today I went to my rep shop to buy some rats and couldn't help but notice they had a couple of boas in. One common and one brasilian rainbow, needless to say I had to ask for a little hold :). First up was the most gorgeous little common, as soon as the girl took the lid off his rub he was hissing away! Thought this was the day I was to recieve my first tag, however once he was in my hands he calmed right down and was a real gem, I just wanted to put him in my pocket, but I reluctantly handed him back. Next up, the brasilian rainbow, just over a year old and approximately 4 feet. He was the complete opposite to the common, upon taking the lid off his rub he was straight out, exploring everything, was a pleasure to handle. I'm still in favour of the common though, however my girlfriends wants the brasilian. What a predicament, only one way to solve this, have both :D.

There is indeed. My ultimate dream is to have a burm. That's a long way away though. I hear they can be puppy dog tame

Hmm I wouldn't recommend a Boa..

You can devote hours to sit while he makes himself comfortable..Fea remained like this for well over an hour, so beware! lol

*grins* nah..not teasing..tho maybe a 'teaser' for when you get your baby Boa :)
Tonight lifting him out was a little unnerving..cos whichever end I went to gather up, his head would appear then rest on my hand lol
