Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Ok...this is the deal. Right after hurricane Wilma a buddy found a true redtail in his yard while cleaning up. He owed me a favor so he gave me the snake which is a 3.5' female. She is baby tame and had fed numerous times, passed a visually perfect fecal, and shed last night.

I had her on the classifieds for awhile today but gave it some thought and decided to pull her. I would like to give her to a young herper who wants a redtail but doesn't have either the money or a way to get one. I am not interested in giving her to someone who has one already or someone who can easily afford one. This is for the kid who loves reading the boa forum and loves looking at all the cool animals you guys post here, but doesn't have a boa of their own to enjoy...

I hope this thread doesn't get pulled but if you know a kid that fits this criteria or are a kid that does...post a little something here and I will decide maybe with the help of others if you are right for this animal.

Any other opinions are more than welcome to aide in helping out someone who is not an owner of one of these amazing animals or if this is even the thing to do...

Here is a picture I took of her this morning and thanks for reading this and giving your opinion!

. . . let me trade you for a less attractive male, and you could give him away instead -- Joking. That is a noble thing that you're doing.

I know a kid that had a boa, it died this last summer and he was crushed. His mom has been wanting to get him another but funds are tight she is single. Her son offered to work for me to pay for one but all I have are higher end stuff. If you have not given it away yet I will give you her # and you can talk.
