These pics make me miss mine!! Boas are so gentle... I used to lay on the couch and watch movies for hours with my Suriname Red Tail wrapped all along the length of me 'cuddling'. (she was just using me for the warmth though). I miss her.

This type of boa is harmless and he actually likes the water he has a pond downstairs I was wirriedabout the salt but its my roommates snakes and he didn't mind it going for a swim.the boa was not harmed I promise. This pic was taken about 3mths agoso no ill effecrts on tank either.

This boa named Joey rides around on my dog and we've had the snakesaround children and even at the malls he's very harmless

They are great Pet I've always had a fear of snakes but they've grown me with how timid and friendly they are lots of personality and beautiful

We have 3 around 8ft and a 3ft king snake

We also have beardies too

Nice! For fear of labelling myself as a freak, I won't give all the detail, but let's just say that I used to be into reptiles big time!! My wife has vitoed the idea of getting anything else though.... damnit.

That's a good way to get over one's fear. I was afraid of spider and got myself a nice big mexican red knee tarentula. Was afraid at first but at the end the spider was sleeping on my neck. Never been afraid of spiders since.

I also had boas but mine were not as big.

well, such big snake is powerfull, and it could crack the tank if he squeeze in the right way. Also it maybe T5 but it can become really hot. I burn my hand touching a t5 tube that was on for a while and it was a pretty bad burn. So many things can go wrong, I would not take the risk of letting that happen.

The snake could not, in a million years, crack the tank

im not sure if he would have the power or not i mean they are very very strong, but the snake wouldnt break it unless he was scared and he wasnt he was in complete control , took a bit of time for him to come off the back he was quite comfortable lol he has only done this once so i snapped some pics as i didnt place him there he went up the tank himself agfter eyeing the fish and then went in the water and right to the back of the tank.he stayed there while i coaxed him out as my fear was he would grip onto the center brace and not want to let go
