Picked these Surinam boas up on Tuesday....getting their cages tomorrow but for now they are chillin in their rubbermaids till then

my good friend could no longer provide the proper care for these snakes and asked me if I would take them....these boas have bread by big name breeders (Florida redtails, rob tudehope etc)....2 of these boas cost $1000 each and the others about $800!

You should build like a green house for them, like a mini bio-dome so they feel at home.

[BlackDevilSupra]

So, what will happen when they become fully grown? Will they still be manageable?
MHO, let wild animals stay where they are most suited (in the wild )

Guess someone is aware of bob Clark and his retics;-). Btw...fluffy has been sold to the oaklahoma zoo and he now has a huge "fluffy 2" tiger retic that is almost as big.

I've been keeping snakes for a very long time and mine never stink as I'm very anal about cleaning cages! Snakes stink when you don't take care of stuff! Only thing I smell right now sitting here in the livingroom is aspen shavings..

My roommate bitched at first when we got the cages home because the previous owner never washed them...now him and his girl friend says it smells good after I spent 6 hours scrubbing lol.

 

[InvisibleMonkey]

Yeah I had a friend that had a snake that never smelled as well.

Funny thing is I was good friends with the guy since like 3rd grade and never got a chance to see him feed it. One time in like 6th grade his dad gave him a live mouse to feed to it but my dad came to pick me up and I never got to watch it. That asshole.

 

[BlackDevilSupra]

When fully grown, how big does these creatures get to be, and will a frozen mouse be enough to satiate them?

 

[Kangae]

I was thinking about getting a snake, any suggestions?
