Hi everyone figured I should introduce myself as I have been here for a little time now. My name is Tom McCarthy of McCarthyBoas.com
I live in Northwest Indiana about 50 miles from Chicago IL. I am a carpenter, married for 30 years to my beautiful and patient wife. She has grown to like boas. LOL. I also have 4 kids and 4 dogs. Kids have a few other pets around my house to. Lizards, fish, tarantula, western hognose snake, corn snake and milk snakes. I still don’t like spiders they creep me out. But put a 20 foot + snake in front and I am all over it.
I am 56 years old and I got my first boa when I was 11 years old. She lived for 18 years. I have owned 100’s of boas over the years but right now I only have around 30 I think. I don’t count them anymore. LOL. I also have one reticulated python he is just pet I don’t breed them anymore. Don’t have the space for a lots of adult retics. I love boas more so the space is for them.
I only breed boas I want for myself as it’s only a hobby for me. I like lots of color and patter to my boas. I also like the bigger boas better. Don’t really care for the dwarf boas.
The extra boas I produce every year I whole sale off to other breeder or trade for stuff I want. I do sell a few to people who want them. I also give a few away every year to my Vet buddy and anyone I feel would be a good home for one.
I also enjoy fishing and hunting. I don’t do much hunting anymore but I do go salmon fishing every year. Here are a few pictures of me.
Take care
Tom
