I recently was offered two rainbow boas for free, a male and female pair. After some debate with my teenage son, finally decided to turn down the offer. Could not afford the time and attention these two would need. For starters, would need separate enclosure for the female, two uths, and two extra heat sources. Vet and feeding costs, not to mention utilities would increase. Already have one cat, one rat, two parakeets, two turtles, two goldfish and two snakes, so where would we put the new arrivals? Our apartment complex is already unhappy with the two snakes we do have. Aaagh. Still trying to rationalize turning down the offer though....
