I rescued him from a friend who was abusing him not on purpose I dont think. He just didnt know $h*t about snakes. Well tell me what you guys think heres some photos. What do you think of the setup??

Re: Some pics of my columbian BIG MITCH!!

thanks!! Barracuda! Hes doing good . He was really skinny when I got him. The guy was feeding him two mice every 3 weeks. Hes now on a steady diet of one large rat a week. Hes getting some real good size on him now. Hes a great snake.

Good job! Very good looking snake. I too took in a boa, almost the same size, as a rescue. Do you want to hear the funny part now? The guy I rescued him from used to be the "Reptile Specialist" at a pet store!!! ??? :-/ Needless to say, he got fired about a month ago! It's good to see someone step in to give a snake the life it deserves. Keep up the good work man!!

Re: Some pics of my columbian BIG MITCH!!

;D ;D Thanks guys!! I really appreciate it. I don't think people understand..well some people(obviously not us!!) that owning a big snake is allot of work and practically a life long commitment. Its not right for an animal to suffer for someone elses short comings..Thanks again everyone..

HI,
Thanks for the picture he looks healthy, Good job saving another animal from sure health problems with the previous owner.
I was in a local pet store and they had a shippment of around 100 BP"S and I saw one leaving in 10 gal with a heat light and screen , and I though geeze i hope he makes it :P.
I don't think its difficult to keep snakes it just requires adequate temps and humidty and feeding on a schedual.
I spend more time on my fish tanks..
Like most animals for some reason new reptile owners try and go with the most economical cage ( not usally adequate) and then become very flustered by the general failure of the animal to live and feed.
Yet I see people spend 1,000's of dollars on special lights , filters , heaters, protien skimmers for their salt water fish..
Maybe we should recruit more fish keepers.. ;D

Hey Doug,

If it helps any, I am an avid fish hobbyist! I have 4 tanks right now, all different types, and I'm in the process of setting up a 125 gallon salt water reef tank! It's true, these fish tanks are by no means cheap, but with that said, I also don't spare any expense at the health and well-being of my snakes! I do what it takes to have their environment set just right! Like you said, I wish people would know how to have the proper set up for their snakes so that they can live a long and healthy life!
