Putting the "Rainbow" into Rainbow Boa

[bladespark]

I am a lousy photographer, but I did finally get a pic that shows the rainbow pretty well. :) Still need to get her out in sunlight to really see it though.

She's tiny!

Indeed she is. :D 16 inches long, half an inch wide, and I haven't weighed her but I'd be shocked if she weighs more than an ounce or so.

she is beautiful :) Can't wait to see more of her. My suggestion is have someone else hold her so you can get a better shot :)

Nobody else is present, and if my husband were here, he's the better photographer, so I'd still hold her. :D

ok :) Still cool looking boa how rare is she btw?

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Not very. :) Endangered animals can't generally be bought in pet stores.

pretty! how big is she gonna get?

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

About five feet, probably. :) Since I don't *actually* know her gender, I'm not completely sure.
