I have a 3 foot long male normal redtail boa for adoption. He is very healthy. He is currently feeding on thawed frozen small to medium sized rats, 2 or 3 a week. He has a strong feeding response and also has bitten while outside his enclosure. He needs someone who can work with him to tame him down some.
I only recently aquired him from a friend who could not keep him because his new wife did not want him to have snakes. I have kept him for a bout a month since I got him in order to be sure he is feeding well and healthy. He is feeding well and is apparently very healthy. I have handled him carefully and have not yet been bitten, but the man who owned him before was bitten by him several times. I do believe that with careful and frequent handling he would tame down very quickly, he mainly just seems afraid of humans since the man I got him from only rarely tried to handle him.
I am requesting a $50.00 adoption fee for him. I prefer local pickup. However, I will ship if necessary. Shipping will be around $50.00 or so depending on where you live. I will only ship via FedEx Priority Overnight. I also can only guarantee live arrival to where temps are 50 degrees or higher en route. I would be happy to meet within about 40 miles of where I live in Saint Marys, GA 31558 (I am about half way between Jacksonville, FL and Brunswick, GA right off of I-95).
Please respond only if you have experience working with snakes who are somewhat aggressive. I will only adopt out to someon 18 or older who has some experience handling snakes.
I do not have any photos at this time, but can take some if necessary.
