after her surgerys i would have to feed her small to medium rats but each time her wound went away she would get rabbits or huge rats. the rats i get her when she is well is the size of a rabbit. i will fond a pic of one

[Dave]

cheers, itl also give us a good size of what the bodies like

That the thing with boa's, they are 99% of the time excelant feeders (i have 2 sand boa's, but want a bigger model, lol). She really does look healthy now, i like a good ending.

The only time my Hashmeer is remotely aggressive is after a meal. He snapped at my friend last night, who was just trying to give me a hand. Hashie was climbing out of the feeding dish, and he tried to coax him back in so I could put him back in his viv. My hands smelled like food, and I got tagged a few weeks ago. Well, Hashie didn't like it, and tried to tag him. My girlfriend left the room fast. Other than that he's very tame.

He was also a bit aggressive when I first got him. I don't think the pet shop I got him from fed him enough. He ate 2 pinkies his first meal home. He's since calmed with regular handling.

see how big they are. i switch her back and forth from rats to rabbits. i like her to have a variety.

[Dave]

gunea pigs are not good for snakes. they are mostly fat and snakes like them like we like candy. so chance get one only on holidays. it is her holiday meal.

Thats a RAT?

God thats huge for a rat, especially next to my sand boa's small mice.

She's about 6 inches longer then in this pic, and is fully grown.


This is 1 of her eating a small mouse, she's just finished constricting it..

I never realised that because half the care sheets i've seen recomend them as a stop gap between rats and rabbits. I'll have to remember it though.

she is a bcc and not a bci so she will get bigger than chance. she will get 10-14 feet. she is only 2 months old. guyanans have purple tails and that is why i named her amethyst.

dave your BP is adorable. my BP thinks it is a green tree python. he even pulls his dead mice in the tree to eat them!

[Keith]

10 - 14 feet That's a BIG snake. Is she going to have her own room?
