She is skinnier than she appears in the photos. Her belly is caved in still but she is improving. She is quite energetic now that she has some food in her.

Vet said she is well on her way. Is amazing how resilient they can be with proper care and love.

I have been putting off naming her but it is time to do so. Start throwing those suggestions out there!

Phoenix
Hope
:snake:
Those are just two ideas off the top of my head.

She's such a pretty snake though :)

I'd suggest Lazarus for the name. Not feminine but you brought her back because you cared so much for her, it fits. You're going above and beyond for her and should be proud!

I was expecting this boa to look emaciated when you described it, she looks fine body size. I'm really glad you got the burns treated and she's doing better.
Since you're looking for a name, are you keeping her?

The photos don't show how skinny she is or her ribs showing. I am on the fence about keeping her. If the right GOOD home comes along then I would not be sad about letting her go. With the new retic on the way in January, my collection is plenty large enough. If she stays she will be loved and cared for.

So I have decided to offer her to be rehomed. Really want her to go to someone who will give her the TLC and love she deserves. Easy to handle and eating well. A few more feedings and she will be back on track. her belly is healing nicely as well.

What state & area are you in?

I am in Texas and she is ready to go to new home. PM me for info. Price is cheap but not free.

Not the place (see our TOS) please take this to PM, any more similar comments in this thread and the thread will be locked

Consider this as an official warning.

Sorry, didn't know & wasn't personally interested, just trying to help!

I take it the TOS issue is #14 (advertising outside designated area)?

Just an update. They fined the guy for animal cruelty and added a 30 day jail time to his punishment for starving and neglecting her. She is now almost back up to proper body mass and weight. Her burns are almost healed. She will be moved to bi-weekly feedings now and is eating 1 large rat per meal. Nice square shape as a proper boa should be. No aggression at all. Active when out and wants to explore everything around her. Her name is Ruby now. Love the pink blushing on her face.

That’s such good news she’s healed so well and even better that the person who neglected her has been penalised for it

Good on the judge to do the right thing. She looks like a real sweetheart!

That is incredible! Most jurisdictions barely recognize reptiles as pets, never mind covering them under cruelty and neglect laws.

So does the new name mean you've decided to keep her?

It means that she has been here long enough without a name that my adopted daughter was getting upset with me. Now Ruby is technically hers.

Glad they pressed some charges, nice to see that for once.

woah, weekly large and even bi-weekly large, that's a LOT of food for a boa. I know you're tying to get some weight back on her but please watch it (or your adopted daughter since she is taking her).

The large rat is slightly smaller than her head. I started her on smalls and then went to mediums but Vet said she is ready for large. Do you think should be once a month at this point for a large?

Once my boas start eating large rats they go onto a 4-week schedule.

She is doing well eating 1 large rat every 2 weeks but is slamming them when offered. Will slowly push her out to 3 weeks after a couple more feedings.

Great to see that whether or not the judge liked or hated reptiles, he recognized the wrongdoing of the previous owner and punished him for it. I'm not sure every judge would do that

Doing well. Almost up to proper weight. Eating small meals weekly. I tried to feed something larger and she refused to eat it. Poor girl is scared of a large rat.
