Gus the BCI....

KevMadden Mar 26, 2009 09:29 PM

At the expo in Daytona Mr. Rentfro was nice enough to give my son, Aiden, this little Columbian. Aiden was so appreciative he named the little guy "Gus". This past weekend he was helping me haul boas out to the backyard for photos when he asked if I would take some pictures of "Gus". He felt Mr. Rentfro would appreciate seeing how well he has taken care of his gift.

Anyway - here is Aiden and "Gus".

Let him know what you think Gus.

Take care,

Kevin

I'm not Gus but that's a stunning little Boa !
Your son is obviously taking great care.
Good to see him so interested.

Having the boys to work with me really makes this hobby enjoyable....and more manageable. I'm sure my 16 year old doesn't alway like cleaning tubs, but he does a good job.

Take care,

Kevin

That is cool Richard. As a kid I would catch snakes and keep them for a day before letting them go. I would spend hours looking for snakes and lizards.

Take care,

Kevin

Nice! I really like Gus's light speckling. Nothing like a new boa!
