.: Adam

Adam

.: his story

Adam is a Hypomelanistic Boa

We bought Adam from a breeder in Maryland. He was shipped to us. A couple weeks after we got him home, we noticed little bugs crawling on him and because we didn't have the money for caging he was put in with our female and she was covered with them too. After some dish soap baths and coating them both in mineral oil, we were able to clear it up.

.: Eden

Eden

.: her story

Eden is a common Red Tail.

I got her from a guy who was about to release her at the park. A busy college student about to go overseas, often forgot about feeding and not home to handle her enough so she had become aggressive.

When I responded to the ad, a typo alerted me that this snake needed a good owner - he had put that she was nearly 7' and aggressive. Turned out she is almost 2' and Must like me because she hasn't bitten me yet. Though when she thought my daughter was feeding her she took a little nibble, but that's all in a month.

She was having a real hard time breathing when I first got her, has no mustache and was about half the diameter of a normal snake her length.

I was told that she had not eaten in months, refusing each meal she was given in that time.

After a couple treatments of some medicine and a couple good warm soaks. I got her to eat her first meal.

.: Beau

Albino Red Tail Boa - Beau

.: his story

Beau is an Albino Red Tail Boa

I bought him from a real nice breeder in Salem and she drove over halfway to meet me, to hand deliver this little guy.

She rarely held him for fear he may stop eating, but at less than a month old - I don't blame her. After a few meals, we started taking him out for holding and he is doing great. Loves to be held and still eats like a champ!

.: Rosie

Red Tail Boa - Rosie

.: her story

Rosie is a Het-Albino Red Tail Boa

I took her in from a very nice lady that felt with having other snakes she would not get enough attention.

She was given to her by a boy that had gone off to college and was not able to come back for her. She was owned by him and was handpicked from a litter. So he owned her 5 years.

I was told she was cage aggressive but I have never had an issue with her. She is very sweet and loves to be held. She was introduced for the first time to some of our boas and got along great as they all "played in the backyard.
