Great pics!!!
I have never seen those ground boas before...they look neat.

I just don't see how you do it. (of course you don't have 2 kids, a husband(or wife) and a 40 hour job )

She is great.

She will eat anything in sight! (once she tried to eat her own poo!). She is still a pretty wild child though. I cant' even put my hand in there without her FREAKING out. She leaps and everything (I am afriad she is going to really hurt herself.)

I think she is about 8" long (I really can't measure her yet). In the next 2-3 months hopefully she can go in the big aquarium (I plan on putting her in there when she is 10" long). I finally have her temps where I like them (between 100 & 105) on the basking side and 78-80 on the cool side. She seems to be using more of her aquarium now. She hasn't used her hide one time. (I have a papertowl over one side of her aquarium--the short side), but I don't think that really counts.

I think you are right about her future colors. I was looking at ZZ's baby pics and they are dead on match for color (ZZ's pattern was more distinct). She is going to be yellow I bet, just like her dad.

I don't remember ZZ being quite so wild. He really liked getting out and looking at everything. (I had problems getiing him back in his aquarium) Fiona seems content to watch me and me watch her (she did arm wave once). I have seen her playing with her beard (so I think she may be a he---right, they only puff their beard when they are male??)

She is much better at catching crickets (she rarely misses). She will eat mouthfuls of silkies (not just one at a time). Her name still fits. She has a petite face and other features, but man, she is a messy eater, she is clumsy and fiesty. My princess Fiona!.

Sorry for the length, I can go on and on....

I think they are awesome, just cant feed them furry things so I will just have to admire yours and Bennets red guy

Snakes look real nice too, same problem, I have too many furries as pets to ever be able to handle that.

Know any snakes that just like bugs ? LOL

Nice pics, Good luck with your new friends
