Well, we finally got our new Miller South Brazilian BCA girls! These were the first snakes we've ever had shipped to us, so it was definitely an experience to say the least... A mostly sleepless night hitting the refresh button on the DHL tracking page, lol! We waited all morning for the knock at the door, so imagine our surprise when we refreshed the page to see that the package was delivered and checked the porch to find our package of live snakes sitting in the blazing sun with no knock whatsoever!

Bah! (complaint calls to DHL ensued!)
Anyway, both girls arrived healthy and fighting fit! The '05 female a little bit TOO fighting fit as you can see from her pictures! But she settled in, and we left her alone for a week, and she seems to have calmed down quite nicely.
Here's the '05 female, we're calling her Gretta:
(this is the picture that Barry Miller sent to us of her)

...and her very angry debut at our house:

Since we told Miller we wanted two females, he sent us a few pictures of his '07 babies to choose from, and when we saw this girl, we just fell in LOVE:

We were assured both parents are pure South Brazilian BCA, and that her scale count will prove out, but she's just got a ridiculously gorgeous long tail for a short-tail boa! We're calling her Lola, and she's just as sweet as she is pretty.

Her tail actually turns PEACH where her saddles turn red, and it doesn't come out in the pictures so well, but it's seriously like, ultra peach. Just beautiful!
Lola and Gretta have settled into their quarantine rack beautifully, and we fed them one week after receiving them, and they both ate f/t without missing a beat! If all goes well, our little Sawyer's going to be a happy boy a few years down the road!
