dominic - 2010-05-02 My 7 year old male hasn't eaten since last aug. We brought him a chicken this weekend he killed it saturday night about 11pm, he still hasn't eaten it and it is almost 11pm sunday. he has never taken more than an hour to eat his kill, why would he not eat this one, and when should we take the dead chicken out? This is very odd, chicken is his favorite.
Bruce - 2010-03-18 I have a three year old female that hasn't eaten for at least 5 months. What can I do to get her to start eating again?

brandon - 2010-04-08 Feed it a small lizard or bird. The following week scent the mouse with the animal you feed the week previous, and he should pick back up his eating habits again. (to scent just leave mouse in the same container with the lizard for a couple of days)
Mz Bundy - 2009-12-19 After helping my older sister care for her 3 RTB's she finally bought me one this year as a newborn. Right off the bat she's shown great companionship, nestling in my hair all day, She's now 6 months old and I cant wait for the many of years to come. I named her Bella Morte, "beautiful dead".
Anonymous - 2009-12-04 I got my rtb about 3 years ago and she was a year old when I got her. She never gets the grey color I see in others, she is just that red color all over, even her head. She's a bit moody and I don't let many ppl hold her cuz if you move the wrong way she will bite. I've been bitten once but she's tried many times (most of it was my fault). She is about 7 foot now, her name is rainboa :P. The main thing I don't like about her is she will not sit still, she moves everywhere!
Tasia - 2009-09-04 I own a three year old red tail boa named Trina. I love her so much, one year ago she got bitten really badly by a rat all the way down to the flesh. I freaked out crying thinking she was going to die, she didn't eat for seven months. My local pet store owner helped me several times to force feed her and then one day just poof, she was back to her old self again. Now she's huge, loves to be held and spoiled, and she eats on her own again. You can't even notice the scars on her back anymore either and I have totally come to realize just how much I love her and how much a part of my life she has become.
Libby - 2009-08-10 About a year and a half ago I got a little RTB from a guy who was moving. The guy didn't feed him enough and kept him in too small of an enclosure, but my little Boo was still a sweet boy. He is now a spoiled healthy boy who loves going outside and sitting in our apple tree (we just refer to it as "Boo's tree"). He loves resting his head against my neck with his body draped along my arm, getting his chin rubbed, and cuddling up to people's chests. If anyone else holds him though he will touch me with his nose every so many minutes then go back to the person. Before I got him I never thought that a snake could have such an amazing personality! My mom was terrified of snakes until she met Boo, now she tells everyone about him and only calls him Boo Boo. Whenever I tell someone about my little boy they usually say something like "you're crazy!" then they ask how big he will get and when I tell them they ask me if I'm going to get rid of him then. I tell them that I won't get rid of him and that I love him very much and can't imagine my life without my Boo!
The Colombian Boa or Common Boa has an exotic appearance, and is considered by many to be the most beautiful of the constrictors.
