Rehoming Defensive Boa

Coal Creek CO

Description

I am looking for a new home for a project Boa I took on in September. Though I cannot be certain, I believe her to be a Nicaraguan boa. The history I do know is she was surrendered to a pet store, who then handed her over to me due to them being unable to give her the tlc she needed. The story was she was about 15 years old, and the man who surrendered her just didn't want her. She is a very defensive snake most days. Some days, like in the pictures, she is handlable. In others, she hisses and strikes at any movement. Due to her aggression, her jaw is permanently damaged from striking the cage so much. It is minor, but there. She is a beautiful animal, and would do well with an experienced keeper. As I have gotten her healthy, and handleable to a certain extent, I wish to begin finding the right home. There is a high likelihood this animal will never be friendly, but with time and effort she may become so. The sooner she finds her forever home, the more chance she will adjust to a new lifestyle. I am looking for someone with some prior snake experience, this is not a beginner animal. I am asking 100$ for a rehoming fee to make sure there are only serious inquiries. I will be asking questions about your planned set up and care. If you think you might be interested feel free to contact me. I'm willing to answer questions, and assist in any way. I am in no rush to get rid of her, and simply want a good home for her to live out the rest of her days.
