Congrats on your babies Lynne, it is a great feeling when they
finally go by themselves, kinda like watching your kid go on their
bike without stabilisers for the first time!! A proud moment indeed Very Happy

thanks stu, i must admit when she sruck and grabbed it i was struck dumb. then i rang smallpaul and gave him a running commentry while trying not to move in case i distracred her. i think i actually was whispering to him!!!
when i went up this morning she seems to be heading for a shed, so have given her a moss box. seems to have a few small bits hanging, but will keep an eye on her.

it is great when they feed.when they don't feed it really does stress the owner of the snake out. because you do worry a lot about them when they wont feed. and then it can make you feel terrible when you have to force feed them i hate doing having to do that

boas grow like weeds though and eat like buckets. well ayeisha does anyway. put her in 2ft viv 3 weeks ago and she could do with moving already!!!!
