This red tail boa came to the Forgotten Friend Reptile Rescue from a great home, but the owner had to give him up due to leaving the country.
The rescue thinks there is a very interesting locality in this boa's heritage, due to the beautiful dark speckled pattern all over the snake.
The snake is aggressive most of the time, often striking, so he'll need to go to a home with plenty of boa experience, where some strikes are not a big deal.
He is a very healthy and active boa, and has been taking f/t mice at the rescue. The snake is about 4 feet long and growing.
If you are interested in adopting this reptile, please submit an online application at www.forgottenfriend.org/apply.
Kiton (pronounced kit - awn) is a 4-month-old neutered male American pit bull terrier. He's microchipped and up-to-date on vaccines.
In his short life, Kiton has suffered neglect and abuse. He had an eye infection that was left untreated, and when he finally made it to the vet he had to have his eye removed. The poor baby also has scars on his body from abuse.
But since his "backyard breeder" signed him over to the York County SPCA and they found him a foster home through Furry Friends Network, he's living a pain-free life with two adult dogs and three children in his foster home. And he's enjoying being a typical fun-loving puppy.
Kiton's foster mom says he's super smart and very sweet.

Hello, I'm Mitchie. I'm a 50 lb. black female American pit bull terrier.
I turned 1 year old March 25. I am spayed, microchipped and current on all vaccines.
I must admit, I am adorable and highly personable. I was in a shelter as a 3-month-old baby, and was rescued by Furry Friends Network before my euthanasia date.
I love to play, play hide & seek, train, swim, run, be chased, go up and down slides, and go for walks.
Mitchie has special needs. Learn more...
