Two new faces

Mine first of course; new to the forum and to boa ownership. Please to meet you all who I feel I know so well based on my frequenting of the pages here for research on my new acquisition.

New face number two: my new baby Bagheera! A Peruvian Rainbow born on 9/12 and purchased from Jeff Clark. She just arrived yesterday in the blue and I was pleased to see she shed this afternoon while I was in class. I've been trying to avoid handling her but when I saw her new scales for the first time I got too excited and had to pull her out to take a picture or two. Being more familiar with colubrids, I've enjoyed observing the differences in behavior. I can appreciate a relaxed snake such as my Baghy, and boy am I glad she's not aggressive

I was worried she might not shed well as she hadn't spent much time in her new environment yet. Although she didn't shed in one entire piece, shedding in chunks instead a tleast it did not appear flaky for which I am grateful.

Re: Two new faces

Sometimes, "not agressive" means scared...

Just sayin.

Re: Two new faces

Hi! Pleased to meet you both! Bagheera is really cool! She has really bold black outlines. Maybe hypermelonistic? Is there such a thing I wonder?

Anyway, Welcome. Hope you enjoy your times with us.

Re: Two new faces

Hi and welcome. What a gorgeous snake! Also, you look kind of familiar. You don't happen to live in Colorado, do you?

Re: Two new faces

Welcome! Out of curiosity did you see the video of the garter snake biting a guys tongue? Your pic totally reminded me of that!

Re: Two new faces

Great looking rainbow, watch the way the snake breaths, its generally a good indicator of their state of mind.

First hello and welcome to our zoo. Bagheera is beautiful. Once she settle in we love to see more pictures.

As for the bold marking Peruvian Rainbow have darker and thicker marking than Brazilians. As adult they tend to be a dark red than Brazilians also.
