First Jubal coochey-cooed at his favorite girl friend when she gurgled at him and kicked, then petted the snake.  He decided that it was the handsomest specimen of Bojdae he had ever seen, as well as the biggest - longer, he estimated, than any other boa constrictor in captivity.  Its cross bars were sharply marked and the brighter colors of the tail quite showy.  He envied Patty her blue-ribbon pet and regretted that he would not have more time in which to get friendly with it.
