1) it gives us all something to envy

and

2) few people ever post pics of adult boas. Most people post pics of baby boas and not adults...maybe b/c some adult boas darken up with age OR b/c its hard to get a full frame shot of an adult with most cameras...who knows?

Either way...its an awesome boa!

I had my wife take SEVERAL pics and those were the only ones that had me and the snake in them...LOL... And some of them my eyes are barley open...LOL... It's extremly difficult to get pics with a big snake in your hands.. The snakes doesn't mind it cause she's using me like a jungle gym.. She just about bent my hand backwards getting those pics, that felt pretty nice...LOL...
