Posted	Two Boas looking for a good home
21-10-2006 by Kim405	I have two boas, one female 6ft and one 4 ft unsexed red tail. I have started a new job and dont have the time that they deserve to look after them. They live together but would seperate.Has Anyone got the time to give my two babies the loving home that they need. Ipswich Based
22-10-2006 by jessica	yeh i have , im experienced with larger snakes too, they tame ?
23-10-2006 by Kim405	Yeah they are very tame. Never attempted to bite anyone.They are handled almost every day and feed very well, although the smaller of the two has not mastered the eating of the rat head first so spends a good half an hour trying to eat it before getting it right.So during this time i have to keep the larger one out of the viv.(i feed them a day apart and have done so for the past 18 months) Would love to be able to keep them but feel it would be unfair. Would only let them go to someone who knows a bit about boas as although they are still quite small in respect to what they can grow to they are still quite powerful.
23-10-2006 by nerys	i can probably sort out someone to take them also, let me know if you need a hand. have boa breeding friends in the cambridge area if thats any help? I've got 7 of my own email if you want? nerys44(AT)hotmail.com NErys
23-10-2006 by burmese	Hiya I think I am the one that Nerys is talking about LOL, I have 4 adult boas, 3 subadult and 6 06 boas. If I can help in anyway drop me a line, I live about 65 miles away and could probably meet halfway if that helps?? Peter PS if u use any forums I am either burmese or goldenburm!
23-10-2006 by Kim405	Yeah they are lovley just want them to go to a good home with someone who can offer them the time and space that they deserve.
23-10-2006 by burmese	Hiya, my boas are all kept individually unless I am breeding them, so I have a few 1.2 groups at the mo. I have a spare 4ft viv and a 5ft viv if that helps?
23-10-2006 by jessica	hey kim, i took a recue burm in once (temperarily whilst a permanant home came forward) it was 8 foot and powerful so i have handled large snakes (also a bit of experience with the anaconda but it wasnt mine lol) heres my email if you want to know anything else.. reptile-world@hotmail.co.uk i only have a large corn at the moment but ive been looking for a boa for a while now, im willing to take both, the feeding thing is np. I'd spend alot of time with them as ive wanted one for a long time now. PLease email.. how much do you want for them? (p.s also handled an 8 foot boa of a friends )hope to hear soon (if that email doesnt work email xx_miss-thang_xx@hotmail.co.uk thanks alot.
24-10-2006 by nerys	Kim.. i'd certainly recomend pete for them yes.. i've used him to take on other rescues i have found (like ones being sold on ebay for instance!) and he has never let them down! If i was not in dorset, i'd have them here too.. but, at least pete is only an hour or so away, so you could always go and see them in the future! hope you get them sorted! Nerys
24-10-2006 by Kim405	Sent you an email Jessica let me know if you dont get it. The snakes are currently in a temp viv that is 6ft by 2 1/2 foot and 21/2 foot in height. Although i could supply all the fittings, Day lamp, heat mat water bowl substrait, hide.
24-10-2006 by burmese	i am available to help if jessica cant!
24-10-2006 by burmese	my email is pete@johnsonhome.freeuk.com or goldenburm@msn.com
24-10-2006 by jessica	thansk for the mail kim.. one coming our way too
24-10-2006 by jessica	*thanks
24-10-2006 by jessica	*your* (gee i have bad typing lol)
25-10-2006 by Kim405	Has anyone in the mean time got any ideas of what i can put in my viv, just so things arn't the same for my snakes all the time.
25-10-2006 by jessica	a nice big branch/log with a few large rocks for them to explore (securely positioned), mabe some false viv plants, or, a large box (with hole cut in) or similar as a hide? I've noticed sometimes my snake likes to get up on something high to curl up on and rest on. Perhaps a big rock,log (small dog basket perhaps ) is usually a favourite with larger snakes , they can go inside or on top of this, if you have the space
26-10-2006 by Kim405	Ok got most of that tho got branches secured from the top of viv to bottom and one that runs the length of the roof of the viv. Only thing iv not got is a dogs basket, just got a normal hide, but i will get one to give them something different.
26-10-2006 by jessica	let me know how they like it
28-10-2006 by Kim405	they both got inside it and went to sleep. Lazy little things lol
28-10-2006 by Kim405	Hi jessica if you are reading this i have a problem with my email system so i was unable to email you. I start on my new shift at work in two weeks time so i need to sell my boas by then. If you are still interested let me know. Sorry
