Available red-tails

[Marla]

Hey all! As I was picking up some food at Petco this afternoon, I got into a conversation with another customer (okay, I actually talked to several, but this isn't about them).

To make a long story short, he has two Colombian red-tailed boas that he needs to find new homes for. He's had them a couple of years and there's a 7' female who's just finished her winter fast and a 5' male who's never fasted. He wasn't asking any money for them, but would like to find them homes with someone experienced with snakes and prepared to care for them.

Neither he nor I are able to ship animals this big, so they'd have to be picked up, but i would be willing to drive a few hours to meet up with one of you to get them to a good home. I gave him my business card and told him I'd look into whether I could find homes for them and he's going to call me to find out. So, is anyone interested in one or both of these? Not to be picky, but I won't help anyone under 18 to get these.

What are their temperaments like and how much does he want for the male?

[Marla]

According to him, they both have great temperaments and the male is, he said, anerythistic. They eat rats and the male has never skipped a meal. He didn't ask for money, but I think it would be the right thing to do to give him some ($50?), especially if he includes their tanks. If you or anyone else are interested and willing to pick up within a reasonable radius of Atlanta, post your questions here and I will ask him when he calls.

Marla I am over here in augusta, and could either pick hom up or meet him halfway. Let me see if I haev the available equipment to house a snake or snqkes that big.

[freakoverdose1]

Wait, will he supply tanks and his equipment or just the snakes?

[freakoverdose1]

I would only want the male

[iceman25]

Hey Marla, I just cleaned out one whole room for reptiles and I might be interested. How big are the tanks? Do you know?

[iceman25]

If Freak takes the male, I might be interested in the Female. Just depends if I can take off work and swing by Atlanta one weekend!

[freakoverdose1]

I have room as well. Ice, you did call the male first, But I really don't want a female to be honest. So it would be your call.

Marla, i could make it out there any day this week starting on tuesday.

That sounds like a great plan. So it sounds like if he includes the tanks and stuff then the two of you would each be willing to take one? I will ask him about the stuff. I could keep them in the house for a week or something if needed but I can't take these guys in myself.
