You only have one, but it is an awesome one I am sure. If you are the Melissa I think you are, you need to come buy again this summer and check out my babies. I also will have something VERY cool, that nobody else has in Michigan. Right now I have about 30. Most are adults and sub-adults, so I will have a bunch more starting in May. Be very careful, boas are addictive. Craig

Hello Craig. Yep, its me And yes, i do have an awesome boa, hehe. couldn't be happier with him. I posted updated pics a few posts down of him, go check em out!

I havent seen you at Taylor lately. I probably wont make it to the march show though. But, I'm moving in April... and I will have loads more room for more critters... So I just might have to stop by sometime and check out what you've got, heh. I definately do want to get another boa sometime.

You were getting close to letting the cat out of the bag...
had me scared for a minute lol.

First I will answer Melissa.
I had about 25 boas until a litter of 23 had been born.
So now I have 47 with another litter to drop any day now.

Be very careful Boas are definitely addictive.

Quick question for Craig or anyone else for that matter...
How long do you wait before popping neonate boas,
I apparently need practice cuz at this point I swear they are all females, lol. They have all shed and most have eaten once already.

Thanks in advance.
Bob

My number of Boas varies from year to year, at the moment I have 7 but over the next year I am sure that will double. There are sooo many cool boas being created this year and in the next few years, the World of boas is in for a real treat. Currently I have :

1.0- Albino Boa
1.1- Anery Boas
0.2- Hypo/Salmon Boa
0.1- Pastel boa
0.1- Dumerils Boa

I have such a big list of what else I want.....But I won't list them, cause there is so many. LOL Here is a pic of a few I have.

I have 15 Boas right now and a 7' gravid Surinam that will increase the numbers significantly in late May/early June, but I'll likely be getting out of Boas after this year. I have a new herp interest in Blood Pythons.

All the best-
