That's great. Sounds like his owners were well-intentioned but ignorant, and they're willing to fix their husbandry mistakes. Hopefully they'll enjoy their boa for many years.
We can hope.

I think he will be ok if they learn and grow with him.

Re: Rescue Columbian RTB
The kid and his mom came to the house. They both were excited to see my collection and learn about their baby boa. I showed them how I pre-kill the adult mouse he eats weekly for now. The son did the killing and feeding. Mom was willing but she wants him to learn and said she will always supervise interactions till he is older. Gave them suggestions on when to move up in prey size and move to 10-14 day feedings. They purchased his setup and tried to pay me for teaching them. I said the best payment is providing a good, healthy, and long life for their animal. They both know they can call anytime with questions. Will update as I find out more over time.

Re: Rescue Columbian RTB
I checked up on Max. He has not missed a meal after I taught them my feeding technique. Doing so good. I have requested photos I can share. Will update once I have a couple. The son is so happy that his squirmy friend is doing so well.

Great job, you have saved that boas life. You have probably given the hobby another life long reptile lover as well.
