In this live, I’m basically just hanging out and letting you “meet my puppy”—Krueger. He’s my super chill boa imperator (common boa), and I’m showing why I’m always saying boas are puppy-dog like when they’re handled with consistency and respect. I go over his age (6 years old), his size (about 6.5 feet right now), and what you can realistically expect from male vs female boas. I also show off his freckles, talk morph details, and explain why he’s not some giant monster—boas are athletic, but most males are typically in that 6–7 foot range. While I’m answering chat, I hit a bunch of husbandry and beginner questions too: frozen/thawed feeding, how long to wait after feeding before handling (48–72 hours), how often they poop after meals (roughly 5–10 days), and what “in blue” actually means when a snake is going into shed (it’s fluid separating the old skin from the new skin). I also talk about building trust—snakes don’t “love you” like a dog, but they absolutely learn to associate your scent with safety, and that’s when they become calm and predictable. The big takeaway: read body language, be consistent, and stop buying into the fear and pet-store myths.
