Nice "boa." Wish I could find a free snake just roaming around. I hope everything checks out, though.

I see what you mean it's color is very bright though! It's a very nice colored lemon blast! Do you know if it's a male or female?

No, I'm not sure but all the pics I see of super blast they have faded lines. These are nice and dark black. It does have more of an orangy yellow color though but from what I can tell, lemon blast varies a bit. I did see ads for baby lemon blast and some looked exactly like this snake. I looked at a lot of pics and got many opinions that its a lemon blast. Female I think but not really sure. Seems to be doing fine this morning. going to try feeding later today.

A local breeder is selling males for $175 and females for $275. If I can fatten it up I probably will sell it. Not interested in keeping a BP. And I just had a heat pad and a dome lamp quit on me this week. I could use the money to replace them and maybe get another extra lamp or pad.

I checked local ads on craigslist and humane society. nobody reported missing a snake.

I don't know how to tell. Looks like it has spurs but they don't stick out any. I'll get some cloaca/tail area pics later

[ConcinusMan]

I am told she's female. Extremely short tail and only a hint of spurs. They don't even really stick out. She's doing fine. Ate a pinky mouse last night.

I told you guys about the sudden unexpected death of my thumbilina not long ago. For a month her symptoms were excessive and frequent urination, and constant unquenchable thirst. vet said it wasn't kidney problems or diabetes but she slipped into a coma one morning and died a day later. I was feeding her those chicken jerky treats. I'm so pissed off right now... Luckily my other dogs were on a restricted diet and didn't get jerky. I don't know whether to cry or be extremely angry so I'm doing both. Thanks for the warning CNN but it's too ****ing late for my girl.

FDA to vets: Watch out for jerky pet treats; some linked to illness - CNN.com

Sorry to hear about your loss.

[ConcinusMan]

At least the mystery is solved. Vets couldn't figure out what was wrong with her or why she even died. When they listed the jerky treats I was giving her, as being linked to pet deaths my heart just sank. I feel a class action lawsuit coming on. That vet bill was like $1600 and she died anyway.

Tank went on the scale this evening. 27.50 pounds at only 5 years old. He's going to be a big boy when he's done.
Here he is relaxing on the couch.
