A few nights ago I was called out to a local person who told me they had just got two Boa's that were in terrible shape and needed help to get them back to health. My girlfriend and I went to there house and I couldn't believe what I found. The first Boa was a common RTB, approx 7ft and looked like a moving skeleton, I detected an obvious RI infection, multiple old scars and severely under weight. How this animal was alive I don't know. Luckily these people are snake owners and had taken both of them out of the situation they were in. They took them to the vet and had a bottle of Baytril and a grip of needles sold to them. They had never given injections or dealt with these types of problems before but to them anything was better than where the snakes were before. That's why they called me, I showed them proper injection amounts and how to give it. I weighed and sexed the first one. That one is female and 9lbs. I have a 7ft common boa in my collection and she weighs in at 20+lbs. I made up a feeding routine and had them follow the doctors medication times. After I showed them how to inject the animal they are now comfortable doing so.

Now the second one was worse off, it looked like a mass of moving ribs, these two have been housed together (now separated) and obviously competing for food, this snake being smaller got the short end of the stick. It appears to be either an argentine or sonoran Boa. 3-4ft and female. Both have very docile dispositions just not treated right. I made a feeding routine for that one also. Hopefully with my help and these peoples care for these animals they will make it. I wanted to share this because it makes me upset to see these beautiful animals treated this way. To top it all off the snakes were aquired from a local business that supplies feeders and other things to local pet stores.

Okay I'm done venting, just needed to get it off my chest, I will keep informed on the progress of these animals and provide updates. Thanks for listening.
