Hi! My name is Rigatoni and I am looking for my forever home - could it be with you?

I am a Common Boa Imperator but I have been mistaken for a Red Tailed Boa because my tail is so beautiful and I have a pearlescent glow to my scales that is almost reminiscent of a Rainbow Boa.

I have the typical Boa curiosity and desire to explore, but I am also happy to be calm and relaxed. My foster parents say I'm very sweet and easy to handle.

I was signed over to the shelter because my previous owner lost our home and they had no way to get a new place with me on the lease. They loved me, and they tried, but life happened, and let's face it, I'm a big snake at around 7 feet!.

Because of my size and my needs, I was transferred to the rescue to help me find my forever home. Could it be with you?

I am a large snake. My average length is between 5 and 9 ft long but I can grow as long as 12 ft! My lifespan can be from 20 - 30 yrs but again, some of us live 40 yrs long!

As a young and active boa, I require my own habitat that is big enough to accommodate my size now, and in the future that is secure. My new family must have reptile experience and preferably large snake experience, too.

With the right diet, habitat, substrate, temperature, and humidity I can live a long and healthy life!
