Hi Aaron,

Take care on that deployment, man.

I love my boeleni, their beauty sucks the air out of my lungs every time I look at them. Also, contrary to the popular literature, but in-line with what Dave Barker has expressed when we have discussed them (and we have, at length), they are without a doubt meant for survival. They are strong as hell. Nothing about them is frail. He said to me in Daytona one year over hard cider and beer "Will, they are nothin' but a big, black scrub python, and the person that figures that out will breed them with ease. If you can raise a boeleni, you oughta be able to breed a boeleni. But people try to make them special, and treat them with kid gloves. That is where we all have failed." (paraphrased, in part).

In addition, as an old desert rat from AZ once told me, offer them hot and cold at the same time and feet the shat out of them. That is my personal game plan for the 14'/15' season

One more thing, they get much bigger than most folks realize. My 6 year olds are the size of young, breeding, adult burms. (with the feeding response of a retic on crack). 10-11ft. for males 12 ft females, with a heavier build than their scrub bretheren.

Anyway, spend some quiet time on deployment planning your boeleni attack, then come back and go for it. If you breed them, you can buy your wife a new, hardwood house, much less a floor. Take care, man.

Will
