Here is the next chapter in the adventure:
The guy arrived with the boas and ball pythons and he and my son took the enclosure out of his truck and then he left.
The nice triple tier solid wood enclosure, which he made. is wired with heat lamps and lights on a timer, was VERY heavy. I could not budge it. My son (what a great kid) decided to buy me a dolly for my birthday (which is tomorrow) so with that, we FINALLY got it in the house, I bet it weighed hundreds of pounds.
I am now up to my eyeballs in oodles of boids. He had them all in the three tiered enclosure and so I am spreading them around to some of my spare enclosures before deciding which ones to keep.
There is a little guy boa, he said he has had him for years and he has stayed little, maybe 2 1/2 feet.
On the other end of the spectrum is a *MONSTER* nine foot female, and then several other hefty girls and guys as well. There were 8 snakes in all, 6 boas and two balls.
What a grand Mom's Day!! What a terrific adventure!!!
I have decided that Craigslist is a *GOOD* thing.... , and so are spontaneous snake adventures!!....
