Snakes are great! I also have loved them from a young age, but do not currently own any. "Unusual" pets have always interested me, and reptiles have often been the alternative pet of choice for me. Perhaps I will be able to acquire another snake soon, but I do not have a lot of hope for that right now. Mine were always domestically produced- garter snakes, grass snakes, and once, a bull snake. I have also had a couple of turtles, the most recent some years ago; she was a Western painted turtle. I have also had some spiders; one was a captured tarantula from Phoenix, AZ (he was the type used in "Arachnophobia" for the hybrids- they really are that fast!), and I have also had some Black Widows. All have made fascinating pets. Your boa looks like quite the beautiful snake. Keep it well.
