diy cage help/resuce/intro lol

Hi all,
i am new to to the forum so hello now i am new to boas i have had balls for many years off and on i recently move to maine from florida and had to sell off my balls many to a breeder friend of mine there.. now i have gottin back in the hobby with a baby ball het for albino..

so now to why im posting i work for a company the resells forclosed homes i work doing cleaning and repairs before reselling.. i was set to a trailor that had been empty for atleast three months. so i and a coworker went to the home to do a once over . this place was nasty we was there 15 mins and my partner came screaming out of the back room snake snake..
so i went to look and sure enough there was a snake so i looked closer after i had to kick my way to it threw the trash in the way but i got to it it whas kept in a old china closet ..she was a little hissie but not bad..

so i got it out of the cage and put it in clean pillow case took it home have had it in a 55 gal tote for a week.. took it to the vets for a look over has a clean bill of helth just a small swore on the nose from rubbing on the glass...

so i want to build a cage for her but what size should it be.... i was thinking 4x4x8 with plenty of things to climb on and hide in ... i wanna to try a more natual looking habtait for her..
shes about 6 feet long or so but shes a little under whight but she did take a f/t rat with no prob...

Female boas usually need at least a 6' cage. Males usually are fine in a 4'.

Glad to hear you found her and that she is not too far gone. Pics?

its not letting me post pics yet lol

Congrats on the new addition! I wish I would find snakes at work, but unfortunately I don't think there will be very many in my office building.

youd be surpised at some things we find left behind in forclosed sezied homes lol

Good work. I'd just buy an animal plastics, much easier and quicker.

where would i findthem at???

Www.animalplastics.com

awesome thanks a ton!

If you have any questions about setting them up, Aaron (The Serpant Merchant on here) is a really good resource.

Nice looking snake! I'd get a water bowl in the tub, looks like she is in shed. Might be too late to avoid a bad shed but worth a :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:.

she has shed and those pics were just the night i brout her home the shed was pretty good most in one piece few small pices stuck on some bad spots on her scale but not bad at all

Did you mean bad spots on her tail? If so, try to remove the old shed from her tail. If left, her tail could fall off

No not tail but there are some spots that look like shes banged her self and screwed some scales up they look kinked up and bent up kind
