    Re: Nicaraguan Boa questions.....

    I am not sure but I think Ruby is a Nicaraguan Boa. I took her as a rescue and she is around 5 feet full grown. Recovering nicely from the extreme abuse she went through. She is supposedly 8 years old. Easy to handle. Is very active for a boa IMO. Other boas I have hand were more chill and relaxed (couch potato's), but she is on the move. I rescue a lot. Under most circumstances my rescues get rehomed. With her level of abuse I decided to keep her.

    Things to keep in mind.

    1. Active
    2. Love to climb and be up high.
    3. Seams to eat weekly so I feed smaller (medium rats instead of large) items but not to small. (might be related to her being starved for a year?)
    4. Is bold when it comes to food. (might be related to her being starved for a year?)
    5. Loves to hide as best she can from site.
    6. Hook training is necessary!
    7. Can smell a rat a mile away.
    8. Intelligent.
    9. Is a relationship not just a pet.
    10. She prefers cooler temps than a python. (for my girl, anything over 85 she hates and will avoid the spot.)

    This is just one animal in my care and not truly sure of locality.
