So BeksNY, my lovely other half, has been wanting to adopt a RTB since there are so many abandoned or given up. We found our perfect pet at the Sacramento Reptile Show thanks to Dawn at the Northern California Herp Society and took him home.
His name is now Clifford and he's a very mellow and curious boa. He was found in a hotel parking lot and rescued by NCHS. They got him to a vet where he was treated for severe dehydration and stomatitis. He's now healthy and eating again, though he has some serious damage on his snoot which leaves him with a little whistle when he breathes and a cute little lip movement he has to do to get his tongue out without it snagging on his lips. He has a lot of eating to do to catch up in size, though we have no idea how old he is.
We are very much in love with him and now get why so many people say RTBs are their favorites. We have no idea if he is a BCI or BCC, so if any of you with a keen eye have an opinion on it, we'd love to hear it.
