I have a boa that I rescued about 2 1/2 years ago. My brother's teacher's son. When I got her she was kept on wet gravel that smelt terrible. The boa itself(don't know the gender) had stuck sheds, hadn't eaten in 3 months, and had an RI. It took a bit to bring her back and another 3months until s/he ate.

Well when I got her she was about 2 1/2-3 feet and since then she has maybe grown half a foot in length maybe a little more. I figured this is one of two things. Either her poor care in the past resulted in stunted growth or she may be a dwarf locality.

S/he was given to be as a red-tail but I know by her coloration that she's more likely from Central America which helps lean towards her being a dwarf. S/he does eat, shed, and go to the bathroom on a regular basis now so my curiosity has grown a lot with this matter.

Here are some pictures of her if that helps at all.

My foot is a size thirteen so you can use that for comparison.
