Blivet is adorable!! Congratulations!! I'll approve that as better then a ring

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

Alright, Cathy, I'm going to show my snake-ignorance here... how do you tell when he's asleep? They don't have eyelids, do they?

Regardless, he's very neat - I've never seen nor heard of them before. I admit to thinking that he'd be more pink (rosy boa) but he's very unique and very pretty. Good luck with the feeding - hopefully it's all down here from here!

Engagement Boa... I love that phrase!

Congratulations for the new addition.

by the way, I didn't realise a snake can fast that long

I pretty much assume he's asleep when he's been in one spot for more than an hour or so. For the most part, he's a pretty active little one, so he's not still a whole lot.

Rosies com in a lot of different colors, and a lot of them ARE a lot pinker than Blivet...Check this one out!

BTW, I totally agree that he's much better than some shiny rock.

I had been hunting off and on for a rosy boa online and at a few of the reptile-oriented pet stores nearby, but I completely forgot about one of the stores until I went in one day to pick up something for my sister in law, and there he was!

vinjashira: adult snakes can go some time without feeding, but he really really had me frantic, and he was just beginning to lose weight, so if this hadn't succeeded we were going to be off to see the vet for suggestions.
