We normally do not receive the younger ones but this little girl must have been from a last year batch.
The original owner was a kind and caring person. Did everything "the pet store told her to do"
She was bought buy the original owner in December of 2008 at a pet shop here in CT. The owner did donate the tank and deco etc along with the animal. In fact transported the boa inside the enclosure. Which consists of a 40 breeder "critter cage", a hide, a water dish, sphagnum moss and some type of decorative tree. Plus one night light, day light and ceramic heater. Also an UTH.
The owner definitely went all the way through w/ pet store’s recommendations. We also received a box with an additional light, another uth, and many more deco type things that are store bought. I of course was pleased for the material donations, and am always thankful for extra heating equipment. These always help the guys who are dropped off or abandoned w/ nothing.
She was surrendered do to her temperament. She continued to bite the owner constantly. The owner did feed FT rats / mice in an out of enclosure routine.
She has been fine with us thus far, although I handle / disrupt the quarantined animals very little.
This picture was taken upon her arrival. She seems to be doing well.
Her fecal came up w/ worms so she is on meds for that. But no ticks or mites. Our vet said she is 100% besides the worms. After her quarantine and a few more fecal and physical exams she should be ready for adoption in about 90 days (that's our hope).
Sincerely
Rusty
