Well, it happened.
There is a nearby pet store that had a 6' Red Tailed Boa (BCC I believe) that was in deplorable conditions.
They said they've had it since this past January. It was in a decent sized container (75 gallon) but the cage was full of feces, very pungent aroma, dirty water, and sitting on the ground with no heating pad or anything.
I handled him the other day just to check him out and he's nothing but a big, gentle puppy dog (minus the legs and fur). He seemed to be in good health despite how they were keeping him. So I took my wife in today just so she could see what he was like. She fell in love.
We scooped him up and bruoght him home. I spent 45 minutes cleaning and sanitizing his cage and bowl. My wife built a kind of rack out of a pallet so we could put the cage ontop of it so as to lift it off the ground some.
I had intended on adopting one from the Humane Society, but we felt that this guy needed rescuing too. So, we'll just have to save up to adopt from the rescue site too.
I'll get some pictures posted hopefully tomorrow.
No regrets. He's a keeper.
We named his Sabastian.
