    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....

My first Boa!

So I have been into balls for the last year and love the hobby. I have always loved Boas but wanted to start with a better "beginner" snake. I have collected some nice balls in the last year but still didn't feel complete :) This is my first Boa and my fathers day present to me from my wife and son (who calls it a shrimp snake lol). Possible Super Sunglow. Couldn't be more happy with him. Pictures are not the best because they are from an iPhone but this beauty is covered in pink. What you guys think?

Very pretty! I love sunglows, and was looking hard at the same person you got yours from, but I think I just found the sunglow jungle I wanted. Congrats on a very nice pickup!!

Thanks Ulysses,
She did do great. It was hard to pick just one. Im very happy with him. Im glad to be a Boa owner, damnedest thing.......Boas move when you hold them :D I love my balls but its nice to know a snake is alive when your handling them lol. Thanks for the welcome!
 
My favorite thing about boas is their variation in color, their activity and their personality. They are all different and can be an amazing animal to keep!

Breeding them is just another bonus to produce even more beautiful animals when the right parents are placed together. So much potential!!

Thanks!
