Just got back from a concert, went to see Foreigner. Was at mountainwinery.com, a really small venue, only around 2000 seats so every seat is pretty close. We had seats in row M (row 13) and they really put on a great show. The lead singer was travelling through the audience. Towards the end of the concert several people had left from some of the very front rows so we moved up. Got to watch them perform Hot Blooded from the second row, about 10 feet away from the stage. the stage is onln one step up from the audience and nothing between the front row and the stage. They were all towards the front of the stage. WOW, totally playing to the audience and they stuck around afterwards and were shaking hands and passing out guitar picks. I shook hands with all but one of the band members, By far the most intimate concert experience I've ever had with a big name band, was amazing OMG!!!

glad you had a good time i got to meet a few ppl from bands i listen to but not many and man do there personalities very both between what kind if music they play and even same kind of music but from band to band only bigg diff tho form your concert and mine is a fence no seats here and a few security guards lining front row lol

I'm jealous! I love Foreigner, and I'd been hoping to see them this tour, but it looks like I won't be able to.

That's so cool. I love it when concerts end up being a great experience like that.

So, I'm at the concert, at the very end, they're at the edge of the stage tossing/handing out guitar picks, shaking hands. I really think they hed just as much fun as (if not more than) the audience. So, Tommy Gimbal hands me a guitar pick. I see my wife picking up a guitar pick that Jeff Pilson tossed her. Cool, two picks from one show. Wishing I could have gotten one from Mick Jones but hey, quite happy with the two.

So, I'm putting them away last night when it dawned on me, we were at a beach boys concert in the late 80's and who was a guest guitar player.....none other than Mick Jones. And guess what I came away from that concert with....yup, one of Mick's guitar picks. So, I now have the whole set!!!!!!

Bob

she just shed yesterday and so I brought her out to a pet shop that hasn't seen one and she prolly didn't like the car ride much at all even though it is very close so I didn't want to stress her out too much but I did take pics of her for like 30 seconds for you

one in the shade

and one real quick in the 100 degree sun for you

and a pic from May for reference for you

she seems to be getting a darker shade of orange for me kind of like tangerinish maybe, hope you like and I guess this is a sneak peek until next month I believe

birthday next month so I have to do something nice for her and the forum so I am thinking a photo shoot and some progress pics but I just fed her today and those so I will have to take some in a few days and lots of them and have a DUW but it will be only of one snake so maybe not but I can try. I also fed my female double het today and she looked very very very dark so I think she might be going into shed but Dave when you get some baby bci's how often do they shed for you. I know I prolly should feed her once a week but I feed her about every 5 days and the guy I got her from feeds his holdbacks every week a rat pup and was feeding mine fuzzies so I gave her about 2-12 grammers when I got her waited a week and fed her about a 18 grammer and now I have her on 20 grammers give or take a gram here and there. She last shed for the breeder on 8-20 so is that too soon for her to be shedding or better yet am I feeding her too often in your opinion. I plan on feeding her every 7 days when I start breeding rats and have her on some 30 grammers or so which prolly isn't to far away so what is your take on this. Her shed dates are
born 6-5
1st- 6-26
2nd- 8-20

hope it helps

1 not a pro lol 2 not a pro 3 lol im not good with eights numbers etc etc as far as mouse/rat sizes and comparing to pics of snakes BUT ANYWHOS i do know baby boas for the first 6 months ish is important not to over feed i meen they can eat normal size food just extremely bad to try and pump up for breeding by the time they are 3 months old lol you know what i am sayin tho not that you would oh and by the way go in the boa forum and read the fat rat killed snake topic very good dang fat rats lol hey look im doin a bob im rambling and babling on lol lalalalalla lol

zucker thing in the boa forum and that is one forum I keep up with religiously after this one of course. The others I check out every few days include bci genetics, carpet, blood, retic and green tree and also hybrid (not to big on that but I am trying to learn new stuff) and the genetics forum also to learn new stuff
Bob

i start from top go down and browse around lol usualy goes fly thru boa forum look at pics see if there is a intersting topis then come here read EVERYTHING reply to EVERYTHING then read the reply to my post the post a reply to to the reply from my reply to the post etc lol after the 5 hourse spent in the rainbow forum i head on down to the python quick browse then ball python the blood then morelia then green tree then retic then over to the leopard geckos and iggy and tegu then bounce up to cageing forum then once in a blue moon hybrid forum then i hit the classafieds lol i hate that palce makes me want to spend so much money

Baby BCI are similar to BRB's, they shed every month or two depending on intake and individuals will vary.

IMO go with moderate sized porey once a week and you can't really go wrong. I know a lot of folks, big breeders will feed the babies next to nothing spouting that raising them slow is better. I liken it to a bell curve, too much and you have a fat unhealthy snake, too little and you have a scrawney malnourished also unhealthy snake, go for somewhere in the middle. As long as it's not fat or scrawney then IMO should be more or less OK!

right in the middle lol and every boa i have got from a breeder wasnt scrowny it was ust right lol the ones i have delt with atleast stick with how i feel and you said basically one sized meal of apropriate size a week is good and what i hav got from other bo breeders is like i said in other post dont try to make your 1 month old snake breed at 4 months lol dont power feed and dont under feed find that middle and your good to go

right now and I have her on a 5 day or so feeding schedule and the male every 7 and the male is looking for food quite often so I thought it would be ok and I've never had a fat snake before but I have seen them posted like s--'s 6 foot 2 year old sunglow and that looks mighty plump for a male but it made lots of babies for him this year too at a young age but thanks for the input
Bob

silly silly silly you talkin about misspells hmmm that was a awesome one tho lol there are alot of ppl who need to get O U T more often then there are other who need to get "out" more often them are the crank crabby ones lol lol
