So this is my Isabelle ground boa. Turns out, she is from Tom Crutchfield who confirmed that she is from Isabelle, AND is WC. She still strikes sideways and backwards and every other which way..lol. But I am starting to come around to having an EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE snake in my collection. I have ONLY ball pythons, and then I see this girl on CL, and I was like NO WAY!! I bought her before she was even 5 posts down the page..LOL! So now I am looking for a male to see if I can breed her. She took her first frozen thawed rat tonight. I was soo stoked! I will be taking her to get tested for internal parasites soon. The male that I am looking for can be any color, but needs to be even a little whiter than this girl.

My beauty. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, but it is all that I have to work with.
If your clever about photography, you can see how close the pics are when she is asleep, but when I woke her up, the pic is a lot farther away..HAHA! She is one mean *expletive*.

I think they have very tiny babies, lots of them, that need lizards to get started. You need to talk to Jerry Conway. Send me an e-mail, I'll forward it.

I thought that you could just scent a pinky mouse with crushed anoles.? Anywho, that will be the best problem EVER..lol. If I can just GET to that point, that would be AWESOME. Thanks.

some want lizards BUT some will slam pinks...right off the bat...so...keep putting pinks for weekssss before scenting....

Very nice looking snakes. You're lucky she's already established, I had a couple of them when I was about 10 years old that my mom had to help me forcefed pinkie parts to for months until they were big enough to eat on their own. Their babies are SO tiny. Good luck with them, they're a really cool, not so typical Boa species.

So can the babies eat mouse pinks? Or are THEY even too big?
