Happy Boa (feeding)

As the title says lol











I know I shouldnt feed on the wood chip, I do normally feed in a tub, but I cant seem to
find it today lmao gunna blame it on the other half.

I think the not feeding on substrate method is overkill.

They can digesst bone for God sakes.

Millions feed on substrate and their snakes live a long time.

Only a few minorities actually get impacted.

yeah I know, but in general Id rather not chance it

The second-to-last photo looks like a tongue.

fantastic pics graham

I have to feed mine on the substrate coz otherwise he wont take it! But got him 'trained' to know when it's feeding time

I read an article in practicle reptile keeping about training snakes that says if you show them the tongs before you go in they recognize its dinner time, no tongs means handling time, although I guess you cant do that with your boa, good job they have a great sense of smell lol.

great pics of a really nice snake there mate.

with our blindy (lol) if I open the doors and put my hand a few inches from his head so he can smell my hand he knows he's being handled

If I tap the substrate with the feeder item he goes into feeding mode - clever fella

very clever I cant wait untill we move back to south yorkshire we will have a garden and I will be building my nice big stone garage for the reps
deffinetly gunna be getting a few more Boas
May be getting a Viper boa soon lol.

And cheers callum shes got the best atittued of any snake on the planet

Cool pix

I'm kinda jealous

you should get one man there pretty kool

Great, authentic pic and a very photogenic beauty..I keep repeating to myself that I will not get one..lol

You know you want one, What is your reason for not getting one>?<

A lack of space; apartment looks like a pet shoppe already..

so does mine lol

my bedroom looks has quite a fw things in it, it still looks more like a simple pile of crap than a pet shop though.

Well we are in a 1 bedroom flat and we have managed to cram 14 vivariums in it varying in size between 3 and 5 foot ( we have 3x 3 foot vivs, 2x 5 foot vivs the rest are 4ft )
and about 25 tubs ( some cereal tubs some rubs and a few critter keepers )
So we reaaaaaallyyyyy dont have space lmao

Oh then there is the 3ft by ft rat cages x2 The sugar glider gage 4ft tall 2 ftwide 2 ft deep
4 hamster cages, a 4ft ferret hutch but they live outside

so yeah lmao

Really looking into it now; working a lot of hours though and will have to coordinate it in somehow to provide adequate care. Thanks for giving an idea of the layout

They dont really take time to look after so that shouldnt be a problem, start with a baby and then you can watch it grow

Will do, thanks for the advise

Just for the sake of it heres another picture or 2 lol
another reason to get a boa is because they have great style with there lil moustaches

I love boas so much, I wish I had a job.
