One of the joys of owning boas.................

JohnLokken Mar 19, 2005 01:37 PM

When I got this female from Rob she was a little hissy. No striking involved........Just hissed a little when touched. (She was in "gratious non compliance". LOL!) After owning her for a while, and letting her know the hissing wasn't going to stop the handling sessions, she made a huge "leap" in character last night. When I opened her sweater box she actually popped her head out and came twords me. I feel she is now enjoying being out. And, best of all......We have bonded. She is now truely one of the family. It's true I want to own every snake out there. But for me, the real joy is the relationships that are created.
Here's some pics of her. Her name's Merry.

She is beautiful....I know what you mean. I have a 6' BCI that likes to sit near me doesn't wander too far and I really think she enjoys getting out and enjoys just "hanging" out. She will sit with her nose nearly touching the glass looking like she wants hang out. I have been out of the hobby for about 8 years just to dive back in it last July and I couldn't be happier with my modest collection of animals. Very rewarding hobby to say the least!
