james Boo isn't mine and as soon as taurus is rid of his mites i am selling him. he doesn't like me remember lol.
besides i never wanted him i just wanted to help him.
but if anybody offered me an ETB for my boa, or even a hognose (held one at the petstore yesterday and loved it lol like an overgrown worm lol) i would not think twice. trust me lol

Thank you!! :-) Wow, what an awesome looking snake. Nick, is it yours????

Yep, it's mine. My pride and joy actually. An absolute sweetheart too, I really lucked out with this one. Hasn't struck at me once.

I had an Emerald Boa once. It was really sick when I got it... looked like an old grey rag, and it had no teeth! It took a lot of work to nurse that one back to health. It was alright in the end though.

awww bless ya james, lol. do you know what was wrong with it? and why it had no teeth? poor thing!

[adamanteus]

It had been kept in shocking conditions for a long time. It had half a dozen incomplete sloughs hanging off it, and hadn't eaten since God was a boy! Some people should be taken out and shot!

That was discusting!!! i agree 100% shot on site. poor begger. how did it eat without its teath? did it effect its feeding?

I tube fed it on liquidized pinkies for months. I had to do this in the dark, as it was so weakened I thought the stress might just kill it in my hands.

that is horrid, my eyes are welling up just thinking about it. words cannot express how i feel when hearing stories like that. it makes me feel sooo angry!!!

people should just give there snakes away if there going to let that happen,,,sell it or give it away if u cant take care of it

[Lori P]

My thoughts exactly, makes me crazy to hear these things... but then we see it every day. We get in so many horses that have been allowed to starve down to nothing... I'll never understand why people don't just give them away when they can no longer care for the animal. You're awesome, James, for helpng that fella.

On a brighter note, I held a hognose today too and was totally taken with him... he kept trying to burrow into my hand!!
