However... If someone is rehoming a "Colombian" red tail boa on CL, I'm more inclined to believe they may have more knowledge about their care and therefore the snake may have been properly cared for and is not sick..

Please get as much info and history on it as you can before deciding to bring it home.
Funny, I thought I'd committed a fatal error with the keyboard - then I realized the correspondence from the current owner is spelled just as I entered it. Unfortunately, I don't know the owner, he was recommended to me from others. He has put some time, effort and money into his current boa - I am concerned and thought about the quarantine issues. I'm lucky that I can separate any snakes by several floors in my home, just not sure how long the quarantine should last.

I hate the thought of an animal going to someone with no experience and bouncing around from owner to owner or worse. We'll see what happens once I can lay eyes on the snake.
