lol yeah i cant wait till she gets larger

my first snake that gets that big but i already love her and her temperment seems really good considering she was in a dixi cup on the drive home and even a few hours after

and even though i normally would have just let her settle in i tried to give her something to eat as the breeder at the show provided me with all the paperwork/genetics/pictures of parents/eating, shedding records

even though she was much more expensive than the other boa breeders there she was bought with more confidence than i would have gotten from others

well the problem is that she only eats live and found that out yesterday. she actually took an adult mouse since i couldnt find hoppers

and im thinking the compound of missing feeding day and the move from the tub to the new 3/2/1 enclosure was too much for here this young. so i put her in my old ball pythons cage and let her enjoy it in there. she looks a lot more comfortable and burrows in the aspen.
