I had been emailing back and forth with him for 3 days, talked to him on the phone twice for advice, he seemed to be pretty knowledgeable. That is, until I asked him if he knew about IBD or had any experience with it. His response was, "Yeah, Irritable Bowel Syndrome." I said "nooooo, it's a horrible extremely contagious disease that affects boas & BP's. There's no cure for it & the more I research it, the more I fear that's what the boa has." He says, "Oh well, if you don't know what to do with it or can't afford to take it to a vet, I'll take him/her off your hands. I have a few empty trays."

Did he not realize the extremely contagious part? I mean, I might be off here, But why would a legit rescue want to jeopardize their whole collection?? The whole thing seems completely strange to me... But I can't find any other rescues in my area. Closest I've found is in Cincinnati, which is 4 hours away....
Wow. Yea I would write this guy off as someone trying to sound super experienced, but just wanting a free snake. I hope you are able to find a legit rescue or a vet that can even help you out. And I too, realize that my first post seemed harsh. That wasn't my intention and I do give you props for taking the snake in and doing what you possibly can for him/her.
