Amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing! I got my Rosy Boa!!

[MelissaFlipski]

In an odd turn of events, I got a call from a friend today, who works as a groomer at a pet store chain, offering me a surrendered Rosy Boa that "won't eat." He is now home with us!! This may or may not be the original one I hoped for in:

The friend who called me is NOT the woman who originally offered me the Rosy before.

I'll post pictures in this thread within 24 hours!

Yayyyyyyyyy! No longer crestfallen by the way.

Here is our new beauty. That's our 6 yr old holding him. Not a great picture, but it'll do for now.

I tried to feed him a live pink mouse. Nope. Now I'll do what I guess I should have done and wait a week or so.

What a little cutie! Congrats! We need more pictures after he's settled in for a week or so

Just one pic? Glad you got him. Once he settles in , he'll probably eat fine for you. I have gotten a lot of rescued reptiles that "wouldn't eat". Usually it was do to poor husbandry practices.
Good luck with the new kid!!

Thanks, guys! I can't wait to post more pictures. We took more than one, but most of them were terrible b/c he wouldn't sit still! We have his husbandry already ironed out it seems, just one detail - need belly heat and the local pet store was out of UTH's! Tomorrow, we'll find one. But his temps are great.

Personally looking forward to pics!!

recently aquired a "breeding" pair for my BF...he adores them

they're growing on me....they're so calm and just about as nosey as I am....so far, we get along great....lol...they're cute too!

Thanks! He is a cutie and a sweetie. And I actually feel like we can hold at four snakes... at least until the ball or jungle carpet grow to over 5'. Then we can reevalutate.
