My best friend (and old neighbor before I moved down here) has 3 boas.
One of the three he purchased as a neo. They other two he adopted several years ago.
.
The two adopted boas passed away yesterday morning. They were 21 years old. So they lived a pretty good life. The last 6 years were probably their best. When get got them, he spent a fortune on 2 6ft
AP cages, heating etc.
IMO, that's pretty nobile of him seeing as you could've easliy just spend $30 on 2 larger rubbermaid setups for them and called it good. He took great pride in those snakes.
.
It was pretty tough on him. Of course, naturally he wants another boa.
.
I got a call from him today and he told me he went down to Petco. Before I was able to chime in, he said that he went in there to look at the adoption board. Sure enough, he found a boa in need, and took him in.
.
This is the only pic I have of him right now sent via cellphone.

I have nothing but the utmost repsect for Jason. It's great to see people rescuing snakes. I'm very proud of him.
.
The snake itself, is 4 years old. About 4 feet from Jason's measurement. There are a few bite wounds on him. Nothing severe though. Jason says he's a little underweight, but looks great considering the boas last 4 years of care. The previous owner was feeding 1 adult mouse every 2-4 weeks.
