Oak the Jungle Boa

🌟✨ Meet Oak the Boa - Looking for a New Home! ✨🌟
 
Hello everyone! I’m Oak the Boa. I am about 4-5 feet long and I am 4 years old. I came to J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue on June 19th, 2024. My previous owners, who got me from WIRE, felt I was too aggressive and expensive to care for, so they had to give me up.
As I have a history of striking, I can only be adopted by those with experience handling large snakes.
 
Adoption Details: In lieu of a set adoption fee, J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue is asking that potential adopters make a donation in my name to help keep the rescue afloat. Your support ensures that animals like me receive the care and love we need.

About Me: I am a Boa, a striking and beautiful snake known for my distinctive patterns and colors. I am eating pre-killed Jumbo Rats and require proper care and handling.

Care Tips for Jungle Boas:
🏠 Housing: I need a spacious enclosure, at least 6 feet long, to accommodate my size and provide enough space for me to move around comfortably.
🌡️ Temperature: Maintain a temperature gradient in my enclosure, with a warm side around 88-92°F and a cooler side around 75-80°F.
🌿 Habitat: Provide me with plenty of hiding spots, branches for climbing, and a secure enclosure. Make sure my habitat mimics my natural environment as much as possible.
💧 Humidity: Maintain a humidity level of around 60-70%. Mist the enclosure regularly and provide a large water bowl for soaking.
🍽️ Diet: Feed me pre-killed Jumbo Rats. Make sure to offer food every 1-2 weeks, depending on my size and appetite.
🧼 Cleaning: Keep my enclosure clean by removing waste promptly and doing a full substrate change regularly. Clean and disinfect the enclosure to prevent any health issues.
🖐️ Handling: Due to my history of striking, I require careful and experienced handling. Use proper techniques and tools to ensure both your safety and mine.
Lifespan: With proper care, Boas can live up to 20-30 years in captivity.
