    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi everyone. A friend of mine has a serious problem. He has an adult "male" boa (he says it's between 7 and 9 feet, so I'm not sure about it being male) that needs to get the heck out of where it's staying; namely, his ex's home. She is NOT taking good care of it, and keeps the snake in a bag when it isn't free-roaming her apartment. Yes, a Bag, and Yes, Free-Roaming! My friend doesn't have anywhere near the space to keep the snake himself, and wants to give it to someone who will take good care of it.

I currently have no pictures, but I wanted to get the word out ASAP. I am not equipped to care for this large a snake for very long - I am a colubrid person! I will be removing the snake from his ex's house soon, and I'm looking for someone to take him (or her) in.

The snake was apparently stunted in it's early years, so it has a fairly small head, and it does have a small scar on it from before my friend had it, but it's completely healed over.

I simply cannot ship an animal that is this big, but I am willing to drive a ways to see this guy have a new, better home.

This is an extremely urget case, so if you're interested in giving him a home, please let me know.

Thank You
-Ellen
 
hello

Where are you located?I'm In Va and could give this snake a good home.
 
I am in central CT. Virginia, unfortunately, is beyond the distance that we could drive the snake.

Unless you happen to have a friend in between that could take the snake part of the way, or something. That would be ok.

Thanks!
 
about the red tail

I live in naugatuck CT and I have been looking for a red tail to adopt PLEASE get back to me asap I would really like to take the boa off your hands I simply love snakes espechially boas and I am aware of the sizes they are capable of reaching and am prepared to house a large snake as well as care for him till the end. please e-mail me at [email protected]
 
Id be willing to adopt it if you need a place, i have plenty of room if you can give me a few days to build an enclosure for it. I live in North Jersey but will be in both maryland and virginia on Dec 11 For reptile shows. So if you still have this animal and it is looking for a good home, feel free to contact me. [email protected]
 
about the boa

are you still looking to give it a home cause I'm in CT. If not you should problably discontinue the ad
 
Anthony,
I seriously doubt that this animal is still looking for a home. The original post was nearly two years ago.
