Geoff The Boa^TM

Who is Geoff The Boa?

Geoff is our ultra-friendly Boa constrictor imperator (Common Boa), natively found in Colombia, but born in Nottingham.

He makes friends easily, quickly dispelling myths about aggression, danger, unfriendliness & the rest.

He is the most trustworthy pet Stuart has ever owned & wins visitors over by his slow, gentle, inquisitive & amusing nature. Geoff is easy to encounter up close & personal. Touch him; feel him; stroke him; hold him. He even has his own little dapper moustache & goatee beard to add extra charm.

Geoff meets thousands of people around the UK each year & is guaranteed to make an impact wherever he appears.

Where Can You See Geoff The Boa?

The easy answer is, 'Wherever Meets The Beasts is, Geoff is there too'.

He works with us & his Beast friends in schools, business, public, community, healthcare, media & for one-to-one sessions.

But sometimes, when one animal is enough. Geoff is perfect for that occasion: large enough to impress yet small enough for easy handling. His speciality is helping people of all ages get over their fears & build their confidence.

A great attraction & excellent conversation starter at family days, open days, fetes, fairs & conferences too.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Wherever we go, we find the same questions being asked, so here are some answers to help put you at ease.

• Geoff is NOT poisonous (venomous)
• He does not strangle people.
• He has never bitten anybody.
• His tongue is harmless. Since snakes do not have ears, their tongue is like a super-sensitive nose.
• Sadly, Geoff does not speak Parcel Tongue.
• Snakes poo from their bottom like the rest of us.
• Geoff is currently about 2 metres long (6 feet 6 inches)

He is always accompanied by Stuart Wood, his handler. Stuart knows first-hand that facing fears, challenging them & overcoming them is not easy. It is often scary, which is why they are called fears. He is very patient & understanding, which are both important when people encounter animals like Geoff for the first time.
