Hi Guys,
Years ago I used to run a reptile rescue and I also had my own personal collection of reptiles for breeding. Well, I still have some rescues left and I need to thin out my personal collection as well. I don't really want to get rid of them but I'm looking to take in 3 foster children and I need the room. For all animals listed I am looking for good homes only. Not someone looking to resell them for a profit. I could be taking in these children as soon as New Years so I need to move them as quick as possible. I also have a ton of supplies. If anyone interested can pick up in North Cape May NJ, I will include cages, bowls and hides with the snakes. Sorry, no pics, I can't find my camera. I'll describe as best as poissible. All snakes eat pre-killed prey. Here we go
For Sale:
2 Female Argentine Boas. One is approx 4 foot long and not solid black, you can clearly see her markings. The other one is approx 4 1/2 foot long and dark. You can see her markings but not as clearly as the other. Both are eating machines taking small to medium pre-killed rats. Anyone knowing Argentines knows they have a reputation for being a little aggressive. These girls do have a temper but they can be handled. We use a hook to get them out of the cage but once they are in your hands they are fine. They cannot be housed together. We used to keep them together but if they smell the slightest hint of food they snap at each other. They can go together or separately. They are $100 a piece plus shipping and handling.
1 Adult High Yellow Carpet Python approx 6 foot long. Sex unknown (I lost my probes years ago) Considering size we have always considered him a male. He hasn't been handled much over the last few years but used to be quite nice. Last we had him out we handled him like the argentines (hook first then fine in our hands). Despite his size he still likes to climb, so he'll need a cage with some height. Easts prekilled jumbos like a monster. He is $125 plus shipping and handling.
For adoption:
These snakes are for free you just have to cover shipping and handling.
3 Ball Pythons.
I have 2 males that are approx 3 1/2 foot long each and they are housed together. They can go together or separately. Both males have a nice temperament. We only got these 2 a couple of months ago and were previously fed live. We have given them prekilled and they took it we just had to use hemostats and make the little rodents dance for them.
The last BP needs someone with patience and time to work with her. She is approx 4 1/2 foot long and is the only ball python I have ever met with an attitude. And she had a big attitude too. She eats prekilled jumbos like a monster.
Last but not least I have a Columbian Boa. This one needs to go to someone with experience. He is a recent rescue that is in bad shape. He was previously kept in a screen topped cage that was too small so he rubbed his nose off completely. As a consequence we can very rarely get him to eat and he is real thin. I will pay shipping on this one as anyone who decides to take this one will have their hands full.
Also for sale I have tons of heat lamps, tube lights, bowls, hides, books tanks and cages. Tanks and cages have to be picked up but I'll ship the other stuff. I have too many supplies to list so if you just tell me what you are looking for I'll come up with a price for you.
I haven't shipped reptiles in years so I don't know who ships what anymore. DHL used to ship turtles, so we would just label everything as turtles, but I don't know if they still do that or not. So any help on shipping would be great. I know how to pack them just need to go out and buy styrofoam and heat packs.
Anyone interested please e-mail me at
BoaBabeNJ@yahoo.com or you can post here. You'll probably get a faster response if you e-mail me though because I check that more often. Thanks guys and I really hope we get some interest in these guys soon. Otherwise we will be stuffing 2 rooms worth of reptiles into our bedroom to make room for the foster kids. Talk about sleeping with the snakeys....lol! If I can find my camera I'll send pics.
Thanks, Rachel AKA Boababe
