Free At Last Part II

Here is the other free boa that I was lucky enough to receive with the Boaphile cages last year. Her name is Sunset, and I'm definitely diggin' her color! She is three years old, 6 1/2 feet long and 11 pounds. She was purchased by her former owner from a pet store in Frederick, Maryland as a neonate. She can be a hand full at times, but once she is out of her cage she settles down quickly. She works well with the snake hook that I have, so she knows that when the cage opens and she is touched by the hook that it's not dinnertime :). I think that it is important that as a boa gets bigger to make sure that you take extra care to not get bit. A good quality snake hook definitely helps to avoid any accidental bites as you first go to remove a large snake from their cage.

Here are some more pics of Sunset from this past weekend.

Free At Last!

After 4 months of quarantine, Samy has joined the rest of my snakes in the "snake room". She is a beauty that I got for free - yes free! I bought some Boaphile cages last year from a woman in Maryland, but she couldn't find a home for Samy or Sunset (more on Sunset in my next blog post). Samy's previous owner kept extremely good care of her and it shows. Samy is a 9 year old B.C.I., close to 8 feet long, and weighs in at 37 pounds. She is very calm and docile for a snake this big, but I take great care in respecting her and her size that's for sure!

Since it was such a nice day today, I took her and Sunset out for some pics. While I was taking pictures, a rabbit came into the yard - if he only knew he was 20 feet away from being dinner :)! He hung out for a good 5 minutes before finally taking off, lucky for him in the opposite direction of Samy...Don't worry, I wasn't about to let "Bugs" become dinner!

Here are some more pics of Samy.
