After completely falling in love with my better half's ball pythons and BRB, and now my own BPs, we've decided to take the leap to a bigger boa. Since so many RTBs are given up or abandoned once they reach full size, we've contacted our local herp society to adopt an adult. (I have a long history of adopting adult, hard-to-place dogs, and this just seems like the right thing to do.) The RTB we're looking at was found in a parking lot, underfed and dehydrated. He's in foster care now and was recently given a clean bill of health and his foster home reports that he's quite calm and friendly. (YAY!!!) We're super-psyched about our plan for the newest addition to our family, but what are some things that we should consider when we bring our new guy home?
