Meet Kanji
This is a rescued Boa, that I named Kanji after a friend of mine. To me that is consider that a great honor to be the one who inspired the name of a great Boa Constrictor.
I found this guy in a kids apartment, he had him in a 35-40 gal aquarium. Rubbed nose, as you can see the scab that is on his nose. I was told "He likes to come out and be held a lot" well duh! He is 6.5 feet in a tiny home! He had no hide box, he had an Upper RI which has cleared up. His water dish was one of those rock ones that was only 1 inch deep, not quite enough to even soak his tail. I loved what this guy said when I asked the last time he fed this snake "I think 4 weeks ago, maybe more, I do not remember"
Kanji now rest in a large home with a wash tub for a bath, I feed him once every 10-14 days. Yes he does like to come out of his cage a lot, in fact if I do not take him out enough he will strike at the plexiglass when I walk by. Seems to far stretched, but he really does that, after a good couple of hours roaming the grass he is happy for a couple of weeks. Then he crawls into his hide box for a couple of days straight.
I tell you, I just love Boa Constrictors, they are wonderful creatures. Enjoy the pics if they show up.
