They ended up being sold to get a Boa, and an awesome Crested Gecko (which also ended up sold). One of the boas was a 2 year old female that a local breeder has, so I get to see it every so often. The other two were babies, but great mouse eaters. I wish I had kept the male, he was gorgeous. They don't need the heat of other boas. Infact I had a low wattage bulb that uped the day time temp to 80, at night I left it at the house temp of 70. They like to soak a lot.

If you get a beautiful animal, that eats MICE, keep it. I wish I had. I do plan on getting at least one for a pet later on. I simply want my collection to be just Boa constrictor until I get out of school.

Some are nippy, especially if held after other reptiles (food in wild).

I do recommend them though!
