Thank you!

She's a Guyanan Red-Tailed Boa Constrictor, and she was 199.99 + shipping.

She's about 3 months old in this picture - so she was born sometime in Nov/Dec 2003. And she'll grow to be about 7 feet in length.

She's about 18-22" long right now and feeding on small adult mice (just a bit bigger than hoppers)

interesting..

where do you get feeder mice from?
EDIT:
Im not going to critisize you on what you feed your snake. lol
I want to own a corn snake one day and I havent found very helpful links on it.. so I was wondering where you buy your feeders? I wouldent want to buy mine from the pet store, just because they arnt healthy..
