I went to The All Maryland Reptile show today and I was very, very disappointed, It was a very small show and very Ball Python heavy, not much out of the ordinary other than a 15Ft Green Anaconda which was amazing to see, but on my way home I decided to stop and see my friends at my local Mom and Pop Pet Store and I picked up a gorgeous Albino Rosy Boa, was love at first sight.
I apologize for the poor lighting so the color doesn't match on these photos, but shes pretty much between the two in color.

Good Morning and Merry Christmas everyone,
as I'm a new "Boa" owner I have a couple questions about my new Rosy Boa "Pippi"
I cant believe how gentle she is, she never sleeps, I mean never. I have her in my bedroom and she's go, go, go all night and all day, in fact she's up now.
Common for a Rosy?
Also, she does NOT coil at all, I just assumed that because shes a Boa that she would coil, never. I know they love to squeeze in tight crevices but no coiling even when held.
Is this common for a Rosy?

OMG, I put an old knit cap in Pippi's enclosure today and she loves it.
I leave the screen off on purpose when I want her to come out, I'm always watching very carefully when I do it.

Thanks, I love this girl.
That is the cutest Rosy I've ever seen.
Awe she's so cute :) I'll leave the lid off my tanks as well and let them come out when they want, under supervision of course ;)

I changed Pippi's substrate to Aspen, she's burrowed in ever since but I saw this tonight and thought it was cute and worth the pictures. (2 Pictures)

Pippi loves coming out, I swear she wags her tail like a dog when I open her enclosure.
She's almost at 25 grams already

I realize that everyone says snakes simply tolerate us and don't give a damn but If I did know better I beg to differ.
This girl of mine seems to be the sweetest animal, I put my hand in her enclosure and she cant wait to get into my hand for me to take her out and she will sit in my sleeve and watch TV with me all night long.

Kera, she is a sweetie pie, I know that all the experts say that snakes do not have any feelings and that they simply tolerate us, with my other snakes I would agree but with this girl I would disagree as even people that have met her would say so too. This snake "Acts Like" and gives the appearance like she actually cares about me and wants me to hold her. I know she doesn't but she appears like she does.
