    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

A nice beginner Boa

NOT!

But she is a purty thing. :yesnod:

All I wanted to do was clean her cage. :(

Zeroing in...

More zeroing in, and voicing her displeasure at my presence, just before letting one go...

Just after the near miss. Notice her lower jaw, OUCH...

Trying to wedge herself in for a better strike...

I left her be after that. I don't dig her striking at me, because not only does she bite, HARD, she hits the glass HARD. Don't need to deal with a broken faced, pissed off, Honduran. LOL

Thanks for looking!
 
If you quit trying to clean clean cages, she might not be so touchy...
Just sayin :)
 
I think she just wants to give you a little peck on the cheek, Rick. I don't have any quite that bad at the moment and am thankful for it.

I cropped out the turd, but if you want, I can get a nice close up of it before she comes out to get me. I'd only do this for a true friend you know. :thumbsup:

Chris, she's hated me since I got her. Pulled her out of the box at work, and she struck at me instantly, and everyone in the room scrammed. She was all of 15-16 inches long back then. Now she's closer to 7 ft, and has had some practice. She gets closer all the time, but has only got me once, and that was a stupid feeding error on my part, for being complacent.

I ought to send her back to Bob Harding for bringing such hell spawn into this world. LOL

Thanks for the nice replies.
 
She looks like a total teddy bear. I bet I can guess what her nickname is. :rofl:

Loving that green with the few salmon scales.
 
Beginner boa ? :rofl:
I have a tooth"beginning" to surface after being embedded for nearly 2 yrs from one of these MMA boa's.
For small snakes I cant figure why its hurts as bad as it does when they get in a solid shot to the flesh :shrug01:

NO,gloves ain't just for sissy's . . . . . :reddevil:

Hah! I wish TAZ would have stayed small. Even as small as her sister. And it hurts more because they mean it. LOL Now this dude...

6 yrs old, and no bigger then what you see there. He also don't take as big of a bite as her, and not nearly as often. Need me some more like that. :D
 
great looking boas! All of my big girls seem to have calmed down or at least let me do my job in peace. But I do have a couple youngsters who will go for me just about every time... I'm hoping they calm down as they grow!
 
TAZ is pretty much the only one here that acts up consistently. Dude, and El Fuego and Serendipity act up occasionally, but chill out once I convince them I'm getting my way.

Thanks for the nice replies! And merry Christmas to everybody.
