Amadeus

Kokopelli

Resident Boa Fanatic
Hey everyone, a small update.
Those who are unfamiliar with the story... Amadeus was the single baby born out of a slugfest on 13 of May this year.
It was Israel's 63'th independence day and not unlike my country, he had to deal with horrible odds, having been born 16 days(out of 123 days) before the due date, surrounded by nothing but slugs.

Here is he, a few hours after birth:

And yet he grew stronger...

And today, almost 6 months later, at an age I didn't dare hope to see him:

Amadeus is the first-born of my breeding project... and I hope to have many more to follow.

Thanks for peeking :)
 
Bravo! This story is very inspirational, but perhaps you should recheck to see any faults you made with slugs?

Boas are a tad more tricky than colubrids. It is not uncommon to have a slug out such as I had. Happens to far more experienced keepers
 
Congratz on the courageous little critter.
You sure you want to keep him? Otherwise just send him to me, I'll be happy to take him of your hands. My Isis would surely like that stunner in the future :D
