Ok so obviously we all spot clean our reptiles but we also fully clean them out once every 3 to 6 months, so today it was the turn of the Amazon Tree Boa. This girl strikes like a deamon and without warning! Now she has very little jaw pressure so the bites arent the issue but it aways makes fun photographs. She dosnt like to pose and certainly dosnt like the camera so here are just a few shots of her, and excuse the mess!!
First job is always the best! Unhooking her from her branch...anyone with ATBs or GTPs or even carpets will know what an big bum ache this is.
So here she is saying hello...



And here are a few bite marks.. You can see a tooth that was left in my hand in the first photo on the right bite mark. This is no problem and will just be regrown.






Just thought id share

That is why I will stick to cats and fish tanks. Even though the young Totershell did draw blood this morning when I was doing her daily combing & brushing.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Better be careful now it's gotten the taste for human flesh.

A pet snake would be kinda cool. I'd have to leave the country to get one though.
