Ok,i'm gonna make this short as i've just typed out what i wanted to say in full and accidently deleted it all...doh!

Anyway, i basicaly GAVE one of my best boas (by best i mean exelent feeding response, very tame ect..) to a guy i know from one of my local bars. He had bought a nice big viv and spent loads on making it sutable for the right snake. Being the good natured soul that i am, i told him that i would sort him out with one of my Boas to see how he got on. so, i take the snake round and make sure everything is set up right for her. When i got there surely enough, there was this nice big(6x5ft) viv with all the trimmings in. I happily left the snake in his capable hands. About a month later some guy asked me if i was the guy that "gave away that Mad snake". Worrying about this i rang the guy up and asked him what was wrong with the Boa. He told me that the snake wasnt eating and was hissing every time he went near it. I then suggested that i would come round to his house and take a look at the snake but he said that it wasnt an appropriate time and that he would get intouch with me. After a few weeks i had heard nothing. I found out that this guy had been dissing me other poeple, saying that i had fobbed him off with a troubled snake which really pissed me off. I then saw his son whilst walking down the street and quized him on the situation. To my shock his son told the that he was actually keeping Hissing Roaches, Giant Snales, geko's and god knows what else in the same viv. He aslo told me that his dad was tossing in half defrosted rats in the viv for the snake to eat. No wonder the snake seemed troubled!!!
