An ode to Baby Boa Goo

An ode to Baby Boa Goo

Baby goo is like syrup. The best syrup you will ever smell and or clean up. When I see the pictures of it posted on line, I can almost smell the wonderful aroma that is Baby Boa Goo. It’s the blood that flows through my veins. It's the dew in the morning. The flowers at sunrise. The honey in my comb. The spring in my step and the smile on my face. Baby Boa Goo is the barbeque on my ribs.

For you who have not had baby Boas yet, Baby Boa Goo smells like Baby Boa Goo. There isn't anything else like it. It's not bad, but it's not like Nana's brownies either. It doesn't remind me of Davani's, where you can get the best pizza in the world, but I'd much rather smell it that a large Pepperoni any day! That's for sure. The slimy gooey part of the goo is the only thing that you should give a second thought. Don’t be like these people who put on the little girlie rubber gloves when they clean up their Boa goo. Get in there! It’s just as great for your skin as it is for the skin of baby Boas. Once you dive in for the first time, I'm sure you'll have it licked!

No big deal really. It's a whole lot less yucky than baby poopy diapers are. A whole LOT less yucky! That plus you won't have to worry about getting Desitin under you nails when you’re done. It's finger lick’in good too! But seriously, I personally use Aspen bedding to soak up the vast majority of the goo. I add more Aspen if I have to and rub it right out of there. After that, a little soapy water and it's right out of my cages. I get the stuff out of the house since I want to smell that next litter and that previous goo could unnecessarily throw me off the next morning.

Look forward to it! Relish the moment as many have when that first litter was born. There is only ONE first litter. Relish it. Savor it. Swim in it if you can. The first litter only comes once. After that, the excitement can still be there each time, but the knowledge of what to expect from the goo will make you an old hand at it before you know it.

One short last note: Don't be a big baby. The experience is wonderful. Everything about it! You will never forget and the squeamishness apprehension you may feel about it now, will very soon be forgotten. Good luck making some goo of your own! Goo baby goo!!! And remember, rubber gloves are for wimps!

LOL!! You should write a short story about baby goo. When do you remove the babies from the goo? Also, what do you do when the babies are still in the sack? Do you leave them in and let them absorb their yolk like a python? I remember people posting horror stories about not knowing what to do when they are born and half of them die. Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

This is all I have to say about that video.

Thank you for making me laugh.
