That pet store boa was many years ago in another state, & no sorry, I don't recall any more than that...not the specific kind. They weren't the best pet store -
they often sold w/c imported snakes with mites & other issues, so I can't say that falls were the only thing their boa suffered from.
Um... Correct me if I'm wrong, but snakes are not meant to be kept in hamster cages? But I'd be so heartbroken if I came home to that... I swear my heart stopped when I realized that was him hanging off the rim of the aquarium. But I worry over all my babies. Furred, gilled and scaled.
That poor boa. Hopefully his/her snake heaven is full of safe logs to climb on, appropriate sized food, and no mites or bugs.
