Showing off my baby ^^

[TinyChinaDoll]

..my baby boa constrictor, that is! What, what'd you think it was? lol

Colombian red tailed boa constrictor - anywhere between 8-10 ft on average, with females tipping the heavier side like most other boas, pythons and colubrids. I already have a few pythons, but I've never owned a boa sweatdrop


She's 7mths old, a little baby. Aww, she's only 3ft long right now! She's hypo salmon, with gorgeous black eyes and a cute little black tongue. ^_^

[TinyChinaDoll]

Thanks, she's a beauty ^^.
The purple sun is actually a stamp they gave us at the snake expo. I can't wash it very well, a monitor cut up my left hand when I was holding it and it hurts to scrub my hand hard ;_;


@ BeiZhiMing -- My mom bought me a snake skin purse and I just gave her this LOOK. D:<

[Chocolate marshmallow gum]

♥ Wow! what does she eat?! Does it like, bite people? ♥

She's eating hopper mice right now - we get them frozen in bulk and thaw them for her. It's kind of cute in a morbid way when you feed her - she's a little picky, so we have to jiggle the mouse by the tail and make it look like it's alive..

Despite what people think, Snakes are executioners not grave diggers - they won't eat carrion. If it's not fresh, it will rot in their stomache in since their metabolism is so slow. They'll barf it up and they won't get enough nutrients. If they dont barf up rotting food, they can get really sick. On the plus side, you only have to worry about feeding every 10 days, and then every 2 weeks when they're adolescent, and every month when they're fully grown.

Careful owners won't get any serious bites. Good breeders will always recommend that 6ft+ snakes be handled by more than one person, no matter how strong you are. Snakes are instinctive. Even if you have lived with it for 20 years, it will still try to eat you if you smell like food (say, if you have handled mice/rabbits without washing your hands), or while they're shedding (their eyes go opaque for up to 14 days), or if you move too fast.

When they're younger they'll get nippy if you try to pick them up headfirst or move too quickly by its head. In the wild, birds and ferrets will bite the head off a snake first. So yeah, reasonable paranoia lol


See? We can learn things on Gaia! Next I'll be drawing a punnett square @_@;;
