Dumerils or Red Tail?

[BFE Pets]

I like the idea of rescuing... especially since I wouldn't mind skipping the growing phase and just having a large adult. How could I easily find some that are up for adoption?

it really depends on where you are located. The best place to start is your local herp society. I also watch classified ads for "adoptions". Also some spca's have reptiles from time to time and you can give them your name and number to call you for certain things that you would be interested in. I also run an ad on CL "taking in unwanted reptiles, No questions asked no sob story or caging needed" I get them healthy and use the ones with good dispositions in my reptile demonstrations until I find a suitable home. Some times i'll donate them to my local herp society to auction off so they can use the money for supplies to continue operations and rescueing.

Thank you!!
I just don't buy the snake or morph I'm looking for until I see one that is perfect (in my eyes)!!

I try that but sometimes I just get impatient or one thats not perfect speaks to me. lol

I completey understand!! Both of my BPs were rescues. My mojave male has had surgery to remove a hemipene because he couldn't stop prolapsing. Despite his problems, I coudn't leave him behind. Sometimes you have to think with your heart instead of your head. In fact, the time I can't think with my heart first is the time I'll actually make a mistake in my choice. And that's when I'll get out of the hobby. Let your heart lead, and you'll never truly go wrong!!

Ok i am new and have been reading just about every thread, i have decided on a boa, but you guys are really making it impossible for me to pick which i want first.

I've never had a Dumerils so I'm biased as I've had a red tail, so I say red tail.

If it helps, I ended up going with a hog island boa
