Hypo Boa Constrictor Snake Female

Notes about this snake

This boa came in November with another from a hoarding situation and lived in storage totes their entire lives. Both had mites and needed to put on some weight but they were very friendly and handled treatment very well with us. They were housed in a tote here during mite treatment however since being cleared from the Vet in April, she was moved into a 36x18x36" glass terrarium and became defensive. We recommend that her new home should be more enclosed like a 6x2x3 ft PVC minimum or larger. She is currently enjoying the height of a 3ft bioactive terrarium but the glass and high activity level is too much for her in store and she has become defensive and strikes now. To an experieced confident home only, she is eating f/t large rats biweekly.

There is some scaring on her neck, not sure what it was from but it was healed when she arried to us. Otherwise she is very healthy and looks good.

Surrender Program

The primary aim of this Surrender Program is not to acquire animals for free but to uphold our responsibility in the community by offering a much-needed solution for individuals needing to surrender their animals. We are committed to accepting any animal we have previously sold, regardless of their condition. For animals not originally sold by Roonami, we will assess these situations individually.

All funds generated from surrendered animals are specifically allocated to cover their associated veterinary expenses and general care with us. Funds received through these adoptions are reinvested directly into the surrender program to ensure its sustainability for the community.

This program also supports our Evacuation Program for those displaced by wildfires and flooding. We provide complimentary boarding for evacuated reptiles and small animals. We donate temporary enclosures for those who can keep their reptile but were unable to bring their terrarium.
