She's a beautiful snake isn't she? If only some kids would have come to the door when I had her out, lol. She's very sweet natured, and hates when it's time to go back in her enclosure! I believe she is a BCC, she has recently shed and looks great right now!

Very nice looking animal but it looks to be a BCI but still great looking boa~

thats not a BCC.

Thanks for the heads up--I was hoping someone would be able to let me know from the pic! BCI, correct? I'm still learning, and the more I know, the more I realize that I still have a lot to learn.

Nice looking Boa.

I think it's a good thing that no children came to your door while you had her out. Some people/children are "TERRIFIED" of snakes. A boa that size could have sent children screaming and given them nightmares for weeks.

Whether said in jest or not, this is the exact thought process which needs to be changed.

This is one of the most volatile times that I can remember against our hobby and even to joke in that manner is concerning to me, I have seen people run through plate glass windows to escape the fear of a snake....not cool

Don't tread on me!

I usually experience the opposite from children--when they see my snakes in the living room they are desparate to have a closer look at them. I would never try to frighten a child with a snake, or anything else for that matter. I also wouldn't have stepped outside my door with her--I don't let children come into my home without their parents if they want to see my snakes. If I ran into the situation in which a child was frightened, rather than intrigued, I would have backed off and let someone else hand out the candy. I didn't meen to imply that I was hoping to frighten children with her, I just enjoy showing her off--I had three kids who wanted to come in and look at my snakes as it was (you can see some of my enclosures from the door), but without their parents, it's not going to happen.

Of all my snakes, this one is the calmest, most docile snake I have, even including my ball pythons. She doesn't mind being touched on the head, side of her face, or body. Her size is intimidating, but other than that she is a sweety.

Thanks for the heads up either way!

Thats a very nice looking boa! Looks like bci to me, a nice colored one.

That is one big and beautiful boa! Thanks for sharing! (thank goodness she is sweet tempered or she would be quite a handful!)
