Threw a litter of slugs and one still born last season...really don't think she will go this year but you never know...another one of those that won't fit in the light box...lol

My goal is to see one good litter from her and then she can spend the rest of her days just living high on the hog, she had a really rough start and now will only eat guinea pigs....I think she will make killer babies, but what papa wouldn't...lol

Thanks everyone....

She looks like a sweetie. So what was her rough start?

I got her as a sub adult and she went close to 10 months without a meal...she was skin and bones by the time I finally got her to eat.

Sold as eats anything....finally got her taking stinky guinea pigs and she hasn't looked back. Tried to switch her to rats a few times but she isn't having any of it so I just stick with the guinea pigs...

One of those people at a show who just up and disappeared so....

Love the look of Dumerils Boas. We had one For five years. She was my sons first Boa. We agreed to sell her at Tinley last year. We miss her. Yours has brought back some great memories.

Thanks!

I am really hoping to one day get those white cages that I can install lights in them that I can just use for picture use...that would solve the large light box issue maybe...lol

Would love to see her have some babies. I know it would make Jeff's day.

Im liking the way you think

Oak on the outside and white laminate on the inside... the long side can have a swing up door to use it as a lightbox.

Gotta think bout this one.... if ya see smoke... dont call the fire department... just throw some water on my head.

Good luck with her Jeff! Scott's waiting another year for his girls to bulk up. I'd sure like to see pics of your slime ball of wiggling babies this year.

Thanks Dave, I love them....the male doesn't have the personality the female does but they are both just great snakes...

Kare I would love to see them go this year...don't know and I'm not going to push her...would love to see some little wigglers this season too!
