When I first joined the club (like a month ago??) everyone was saying I would be getting more snakes soon (because of the addiction, lol) Well, that has begun!! Yesterday I picked up my 2nd snake (well 7th in total but the other 5 were years ago) He is an 08 BRB (from Tony at T&A Reptiles here in BC) and he's so gorgeous!! I'm so excited because I've wanted a BRB for years. Then I saw his photo while randomly cruising through some websites (looking at breeder sites is not the best way to keep your collection small. lol!) and I just fell in love with him. I haven't taken any photos yet but is the pic from the website:

WOW he is beautiful! I've always loved the look of the BRB's just not really a boa guy (yet lol) so I haven't gotten one, I may have to change that someday though :D Great pickup!

Nice dark crescents! Good pick up....and wait - they are dark colored during the day and lighten up at night...its mesmerizing to see - your BRB seems like an entirely new animal! I love mine,,,,

That is SUCH a cute way to put it!!!! I just love that!

And I love this trait of the BRBs too, just learned about it while I was in the process of buying him.

I meant to post his morning photo too:

I held him today and he is SO neat!! The way he interacts reminds me of a cross between a cornsnake and a bp... the front end is curious and busy and wants to go places but the back end is holding on and staying put (or at least more put than the front exploring end).

Also, I can't get over his perfect little head... it's just so tiny and refined!

I'm so excited to have a BRB!! I've wanted one for so long that looking at him & me in the mirror was a bit surreal (but in a good way, of course!) :D

At the moment he's in shed so I can't wait to see him afterward!
