Need help asap rescued boa please read
Not even sure what it is its about 4 feet long looks like a red tail boa but where the tail should be red its black,... it has been in an abandoned building without heat or food for 1+ month its winter in cleveland so night time could be 30 degrees... Tried feeding it live mice and pre killed, wouldn't touch either I think its too weak... it moves around but it sometimes looks like a spider with moderate to severe wobble I just started getting into BPs but know nothing about boas and am still fairly new to snakes in general any help is appreciated sorry if Im posting in an improper section but I'm using a friends computer and am limited on time to collect answers.

The snake may be in bad health so I recommend a phone for a vet and not a computer asking people for opinions on a forum
A room full of empty racks and thermostats that have been unplugged.

You need to consult a vet. If you can't afford to take care of this snake, then maybe you should find someone else who can.

Re: Need help asap rescued boa please read
If you can't afford a vet, try contacting these guys. They are a Reptile Rescue in Cinncinati, but they may know of someone local that can help.

It also wouldn't hurt to at least call some vets and tell them the situation. I have heard of some vets offering their services at a discount for rescued animals. It won't hurt to try. And they also may know of some local rescues that may be able to help.
Hopefully this boa can be saved. Good luck, and thank you for getting it out of the cold. I would also suggest keeping it away from your other reptiles.

You need to find a reptile rescue and surrender the Boa. I'm not trying to be harsh but if you can't provide proper care and rehabilitation, then your not rescuing it, your prolonging its suffering, even it it ultimately survives.
