Thanks everybody, adoption has gone great so far. We got him Friday night and he seems like a very docile snake, sounds to me like the original owner was doing something very wrong with him. He has a burn on his tail but it is healed up from the adoption agency and he ate the first night we had him at home. I brought him to my vet today and he is clear of any paracites or mites

Now to talk my wife into letting me get a young Boa from Tinley Park in October
