    Stunted growth?

    Hi there everyone, I run a small independant reptile rescue in my community and today we just got in our first Red tail boa, according to the woman who brought him in, a co-worker of hers brought him into work and left him there because he "Didn't want him anymore" (People like this really kill me...)

    She says that he told her the boa is about 5 years old and has only been given food about once every 6-10 weeks "when he remembered". The poor little boa is very small, only 20-24 inches long and really thin.

    My question for the experienced handlers is, can we correct this damage? Or is little Simon destined to be a "tea-cup" boa for the rest of his life?

    Any imput would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you ^_^
