Got on craigslist, and saw this:
my friend has a Columbian Red Tailed Boa that she has owned since neo nate. he is a pet not neck jewelry. he has a 10 gallon tank & warming pad. he is only feed once to twice a month to keep him from getting huge. we want someone that will take good care of him & not just get him to show off for a month or 2 then realize that they want something else. he is about 7 years old. his name is General Maximus if you want him to grow bigger all you have to do is feed him more but not recommended if small children are around. we will sell for $150 with tank. call terry 615-969-9875. i didnt have a pic so i used one of the web that is very close.




The boa is only 4 ft, at 7 years old, and the poor thing is cramped up in a 10 gallon tank. I'm going to try to reason with them and see if they'll give me the snake for free, or maybe a trade for some junk I have laying around. He/She will go in a 75 gallon tank I have open...let's just hope it's not to thin. Poor thing...gah, I hate that. They didn't want it to get big so they fed it less and kept it in a tiny tank? That's just...AGH! Could they not just get a corn snake, and a 20 gallon tank? Doesn't get too big, doesn't take up a large amount of space...viola.

Thats terrible, if you dont want a 7ft+ snake, dont buy one!!!  I cant believe they underfeed him just to keep him small and stunted!

LOL  this is nothing.  I could give you stories that would have you in tears.  People never cease to amaze me with their kindness and dissappoint me with their ignorance.
