So I'm organizing the snake room. I'm planning on 3 stacks of 3 enclosures each. So 9 snakes in total.
I have 8, and happened to run across the animal shelter in the next county looking for an adoptee for a larger snake.
Here's the email from the animal shelter:
Soooooo this is Tom Scaley, and... he was found as a stray. Definitely not a native snake! Right now Tom Scaley weighs four pounds, but this type of snake can get big... real big. Like, four to eleven feet long, and ~25 pounds big. Tom Scaley will need an adopter who is prepared for his (or her?) specialized care, and eventual large size!!
When animal shelter bought him out for me to see the first question I get ask is "Have you ever been bit"
What an opening line, But he is a very chill snake, both I and my daughter held him and were totally at ease with him
Here's a quick pic, I'll try to get a better pic of him and his tail when I get the opportunity.
So here is Tom Scaley.... Can any of you Boa guys/gals tell me anything about which Boa he might be?
