This girl I got back the end of last year free...From a husband of a girl that my wife works with at the Vet Clinic....The guy didn't want her because she became to "Pissy" when he had her out....She was mean when I got her....I have pic's some where on here of her showing her teeth day 1 when I got her....was hissing like a dragon....He had her in a 20 gallon long fish tank and no hide....This girl filled the 20 gallon...Not the best set up....I moved her into a T13 AP cage with a nice big Hide(Cat litter Pan) turned upside down with a hole cut in it....and put her on a regular feeding schedule....and since then she is tame and wonderful to handle...I'm getting just about comfartable enough to forget the gloves now as well :lol: She let me get some macro shots tonight without issue...something that would have never happened a few months ago :lol:

She's an 02' Model Born 6-14-02 a normal from John Skipper Reptiles...I was lucky enough the guy kept her info as well :) Genetics included as well not that there anything special....But the guy who sold her seemed to keep nice records.


Some of these shots I took of her in a tub while I cleaned her cage tonight

She's not super big maybe 6-7 range....I'd lean more towards 6 then 7 but she is more bulky then she looks in the pic's....I'm not good on estimates and lenghts....I can see about a picture though :)

Nice boa there John! She's definitely in a better place being with you than trying to cram her 6-7 feet in a 20 gallon tank!
