Young ^.oa Constrictors. — Young boa constrictors make most beautiful and interesting pets. They are very gentle, and become quite tame and fond of their keeper or owner.

The tip of the tongue is very sticky, forming a perfect fly-trap, from which there is no escape. U. D. 1746. INDIAN CUSTOMS. Price, $64.08. Approximate Length, 534 feet.
