Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Sweet Boa. Don't you worry about feeding on loose substrate? Could go real bad if a peice gets by yer eye. I lay some news paper down, get them to latch onto the rat, and slide them onto the paper. Real easy for the first year and half or so till they start to gain some weight. LOL
Anyway, nice snake.

VERY calm. Not at all like typical Nics. More like the temperament of a common boa.

Actually this snake IS a year old already. They are dwarf boas. Both are only around the 2 foot mark and eat like pigs.
The food in the pic is a mouse. They are nowhere near ready for even small rats (and for some reason don't care for pinkie rats  ).
I've never had a problem with any of my animals feeding while in the tubs with the cypress.

Damn! If that's a mouse and a year old boa, i guess dwarf isn't a joke. LOL I figured smaller like most CA, but that guys TINY.
Hope you never do have a problem either. I lost a boa once due to impaction, so I'm more paranoid I guess.
Good luck with them.

Now you have me worried. LOL.
These guys are so new to the market, I don't want to lose one of the pair I was lucky enough to get.
Here is a pic to show the size of me holding a year old female. These are true dwarfs.

Well, I shared an alternative that's worked well for me for years. Give it a try next feeding. 
Nice pic. Would never guess a yearling. My 3 month old neos are that big at least. Makes me wonder how tiny the babies are at birth. Do they start on crickets or what? LOL
Thanks for sharing.
