    Meet Blivet. :)

    Hi everyone! I haven't posted on this side for awhile. My future hubby got me a gift a few months back....of a Rosy Boa! I'd been on the lookout for one for some time, but they're not always the easiest snakes to find, which I think is nuts since they're pretty much ideal IMO. He's full grown at about two feet long, and very gentle.

    The reason I hadn't posted him sooner was because I wasn't sure he was ever going to eat for me! 0_0 After four months without eating (!!) I finally offered him a pinky mouse instead of the larger mice I had been offering, and he ate it! (frozen/thawed of course, no live mice here!) I'm SO relieved, and here he is!


    This is how he sleeps....sideways, pressed up against the glass. Not IN his cave, no....that would make too much sense, I suppose.


    Here's a clearer picture of his colors, he's almost blue-grey with lovely orange stripes. I think he's quite handsome!

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    I agree, he is very handesome! I love his color - I don`t know too much about snakes so I`ve never seen one with a color like that. What a great present, definitely beats flowers and chocolate.

    Yes indeed! Blivet was partly kind of an apology that FH can't afford my dream ring yet (because his silly job is giving him less than ten hours a week!!! ) so I've been calling him my "engagement boa".

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    If he's anything like our rainbow boa, smaller food than he should have will be eaten, larger NOT. Our boa is a lazy feeder and doesn't like to extend herself. It took us 3 months to get her to finally eat, that was about 6 years ago. Glad you got him to eat, he's really pretty.

    Finally!! There's the pictures of this handsome guy!! Maybe the color on my computer is off, but since I've seen him in person I know how beautiful his colors actually are. He has blue on him, which I cannot see in the pix.

    Here is your official WELCOME to PT Blivet!!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Aw, he's lovely! I would take him over a diamond any day.

    He is gorgeous! I much rather have a snake than a silly ring.
