Okay so some guy decided to dump a salmon boa and a hogg island boa on me, and by dump I mean leave them in a box at my door.
Anyway the salmon seems to be okay, abit thin but other wise seems healthy, I'm going to try to feed him in a few days after he settles down. The hogg on the other hand is full of kinks, he sems active but is also thin and has a weird crese in the middle of his belly. I dont have aot of money, and the guy who dropped them knows I dont so I'am currently looking for ether a low cost vet or a rescue who can take him. I will try to feed him in a few days too if I havent found him a rescue. He is really pretty, seems to be active, flicks his tounge somewhat slow but not to slow and has a clean mouth. He breaths fine too, so I'm wondering if he could have been born with the kinks and he will be okay? Or if he has broken ribs? (I rubbed and it felt like it could be a healed broken rib) the guy who droped them clams he just ate three small rats, but I have no way to be sure. Just wondering what I should do with him at this point? You can kinda see in the picture he has four kinks. I will try to get a picture of the belly later if I can.

Someone shipped me a snake with kinks once. I sent it back to the person and told them it was unacceptable. The person later informed me the vet said it had some sort of vitamin deficiency. The vet administered some kind of an injection and supposedly the snake was fine. Hopefully it's a simple fix, best of luck with the boa.

Thanks for the input I have yet to find a low cost vet or a real rescue in my city but will be looking more tomarrow. Hopefully it is just something like that so he can get better I would love to keep him, but inless I find a low cost vet hes going to a rescue were they can hopefully help him I will update on what happens with him tomarrow or the next day depending on finding vets/rescues.
