Hello, I would post this in the classified section however I'm not selling them but giving them aways as rescue. This is the situation:

2003 BCI female 6ft: I bought her at a reptile show a year ago. Beautiful boa (circle back ladder tail), but she has regurging every other meal since purchase. She is about 6ft so I had her on 1 XL rat every 10 days, but I have even tried mediums and she has regurged them. I need someone who has the time to nurse her back to health.

2001 BCI female het albino 8ft: I bought her here on Fauna, but she has not eaten for me in the 4 months since I got her. She also wheezes when breathing (respiratory infection maybe?) . Both these issues have been present since I bought her; they did not happen under my care.

I guess I have had bad luck with my last two purchases. I have five other boas that have been healthy with NO problems for years so it's hard taking care of two boa that are sick from the jump. These are FREE to a good home! I live in Atlanta, GA and local pickup is preferred.

There is an adoptions forum here (http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=465)

This will probably be moved there eventually. I am sorry to hear that you had bad luck with those two. You shouldn't have too much of a problem placing them.

So who off Fauna did you buy the one from? I might post about it on the BOI.

if you did not have the dealings with those animals, or the seller or buyer, i would refrain from posting about these animals yourself. Let the OP post the story, if he or she feels they should.

Thanks for the thought. I decided against blasting the seller because he did inform me that the boa had problems IN THE PAST. They were supposedly cured, but he sold the boa at a reduced price ($600). I chalk it up to "get what you pay for".

This thread is 2 years old. I highly doubt they are still available.
