As the title says, I've kept reptiles for 30 years, and I've never owned a boa... until now. We had a reptile show in town today. I went with the intention of picking up a bug eater of some sort (leopard gecko, tarantula, scorpion, etc.). I recently started a dubia colony and I only have 3 tarantula slings and 2 mantis nymphs to eat them at the moment. So, I was going to surprise my daughter with something new. She and her mom have been in NY for a week and are flying in tonight. Anyway, to get to the point, one of the first tables I saw had some beautiful BCI's. They caught my eye immediately, but I had no intentions of buying a snake today. So, I shopped around looking for a gecko or something that I liked. There were some that were ok, but nothing that really caught my eye for a good price. I kept going back to the boa table. She had 5 males when the show started... then 4... then 3... then 2... then I couldn't take it anymore. I asked her to hold one, and made a quick trip to an ATM. I didn't take much money, precisely so I wouldn't spend much money. So much for that.
Anyway, here he is, my (and my daughter's) first boa. He's basically a super pastel, het anery with three different pastel lines. Anyway, I thought he was gorgeous. I've always liked boas, just never had one for whatever reason. Going to pick my daughter and wife up at the airport tonight. I know my daughter will be excited.
