Her pattern is so cool. Do I want a large snake? Yes. Do I have the means to take care of one at the moment? No. Will I admire them from afar instead? Yes.
at least you have the common sense to know that since you don't have have the means you don't get the animal💜 people who don't do that are the reason animals don't live complete healthy lives 😩
I think it's disgusting they were going to euthanize a perfectly healthy snake just because they didn't want her anymore. Thank you for saving her! Rosie is beautiful!
I honestly believe snakes have some sort of memory. I spent about a year rehabilitating a “problem” ball python to get her to be a good eater and friendly so I could rehome her. I thought I found the perfect home for her because the woman had three other ball pythons and was sending me update pictures for a while. A couple weeks ago I walked into a local reptile shop just because I was in the area and she was there. Turns out the woman’s husband said it was him or the snakes and she dumped them all at the pet store. I asked to hold her to make sure it was her and she immediately uncurled and snuggled up to my neck how she normally did when I had her. The workers said in all the time they had her she’s NEVER been that comfortable with anyone. I ended up working with them to lower the price as much as possible and I purchased her back. Now she’s home and as hungry as ever. Not shy at all like the workers described her. I have to believe she remembers being comfortable with me and knows she’s safe.
Rehoming ethically like people do through Alex I think can be more responsible than not, if someone can't care properly for whatever reason. But dumping off somewhere that could give even worse care is yuck
Well sadly, many people aren't responsible enough to care for the needs and accommodations required for such a large snake. If that wasn't an issue, I'd totally agree =)
OutOfSight123 also regardless of their temperament they can definitely be pretty intimidating for a beginner keeper and nervous energy makes them less likely to be good with people. If someone is comfortable with the size and does the research they definitely could be a good beginner snake
my mom always told me that if you care about what the animal wants rather than what you want for them, they'll grow to respect you more. so far, seems like it works for any type of animal.
I liked how he casually threw out " so we don't lose any cats" and continued on And what if she lives longer because she spent so many years in basically a cryogenic state OnO
Jacqueline Marie I think they just enjoy themselves which sometimes seems like gratitude but really they are just finally happy and content and happy animals behave vary differently then fearful or injured / unhealthy animals. It’s great that she is so comfortable around him it’s so cute.
Okay, this is really random, but, your voice is so monotone and I find it really funny bcus your sarcasm just is great. Anyways thank you for coming to my ted talk
Boas are the best. I don't know why they're not more popular either. Rosie looks fantastic! She's exactly the shape she should be. I still can't believe she's doing as well as she is considering her past. Good job, I'm glad you gave her a new life.
@@patrickhaljand1262 There are several varieties of boa that don't get bigger than ball pythons. I have 9 year old male boas that weigh less than adult female BPs.
@@sarahjayne1620 I'm glad you asked! Sonoran boas are native to Mexico and males get 5 ft, maybe 6 ft for a really big one. The Tarahumera locality of the Sonoran boas are the absolute smallest of the larger boa species and are usually not more than 5ft. Boas are thinner bodied than ball pythons so they are overall smaller snakes at the same length. There are a few island localities as well that stay pretty small, and most Central American boas are also considered dwarfs (Nicaragua/Costa Rica/etc). The females can still see 7 ft or more, but males stay small if fed properly. :)
Yo the improvement in behaviour is fantastic I'm glad you could give her a good home, she really deserves better than she was given and she definitely looks a lot happier with you Kudos and thanks for the A+ content as per usual dude!
Some of my larger snakes put themselves away too! It's so funny! I have a carpet python who always does that. She has her exercise and cuddles and then decides when she wants to go home... Also great video! I love that you were able to take Rosie in and turn her life around :) boas are such sweethearts
"She is now 22 years old" 0:34 : Boops the snoot. 6:24 : I know nothing about snakes. I have hermit crabs, but based on a hermit crab's behavior, I know they can recognize each other, so there's some memory component there. I'm just going to assume that a snake is at least leagues more intelligent, so.... yeah probably. I dunno. Lastly, I would totally listen to ASMR of Rosie. >w
Rosie seems like such a sweetheart 🐍❤ I was thinking, since the classroom she lived in for 20 years was always around so many people, perhaps she was desensitized to humans a little bit? I'm sure people came up to the enclosure to say hi, and having so many people always being around, she had to have noticed the humans, right? I'm assuming they didn't hurt her or anything, just threw in food every so often lol. Idk maybe I'm overanalyzing it, but I can see the constant flow of humans having an effect on her. Love that lil Rosie ❤ Also don't underestimate what you've done for her!!! I'm sure the reason why she's so snuggly and nice is because she knows you helped her, you got her a nice warm enclosure, you clean it, you feed her yourself instead of tossing in meals, there's no way she hasn't noticed those things.
I’m commenting a little bit late lol but I’ve held one and it was great. If there’s ever a snake that can be seen as loving, a boa would definitely be one of them.
11.59 I love how clearly you can see her underside moving as she traverses. I don't think it's as obvious with smaller snakes? At least not the ones I'm familiar with, not to that extent.
I think our mission as herp lovers is to inform the public about the neglect of reptiles in our society... I think we can all agree how most people buy reptiles cause they are “cool”.. but I love how you don’t get reptiles just because they are “cool”... you rescue them and inform the public on how we can care for them and inform our society on neglect... thank you so much for not giving up on this python, even though she wasn’t a great example of a snake with a “good” attitude at first.... love what your doing man....
I have such a soft spot for boas. I took in a neglected one with a lot of medical issues and despite everything she was so calm and so easy to handle. Makes me so happy to see someone giving them such an amazing chance. I miss my big boa and wish I could have had more time with her, but after a year I adopted a juvenile boa and man did I miss them. Didn’t mean to ramble! TLDR: so happy this noodle has a good home, I love boas.
Everyone can see, that Rosie enjoys her new live and i'm sure, that she knows, that you are good to her. She know the difference between her old and her new live ❤👍 Rosie is so sweet, i wish her all the best. Greetings from Germany 🐍
Im glad Rosie is doing well! I got my own Columbian Boa 7 Months ago after finding her on Craigslist from some dude heading off to college and didnt want her anymore. She is 3 1/2 years old and about 5 1/2ft long. Her name is Lucy and she has been an amazing animal!
Conspiracy theories are theories about conspiracies. Conspiring is the act of doing said conspiracies. Theorizing is the word you were looking for. (Forming theories.)
I've only just found your channel a few months ago, so this is the first time I've heard of Rosie's story. I'm honestly moved. Thank you for rescuing this gorgeous creature 😍 From the sounds her progress, she knows at some level that you saved her and I'm sure she is grateful for that. Here's to many more good years from Rosie in her forever home 🎉
I got my boa weeks after she was born, ive had her 8yrs. I hope to have her for the rest of her 25+ year life. Boas are absolutely magnificent pets, im so glad you've put the care and effort into making her life better! Shes gorgeous! Thanks for being an awesome person and taking her in :)
I've handled a boa in my marine bio class, but the boa was well cared for (fortunately). I want either a boa constrictor or corn snake, but I have to wait until I have my own apartment (which is gonna be a while because I have 4 more years of university to go through)...
Nohemi Morales I would say either or will work for you! just keep in mind of the size of your boa down the road... but by that time you’ll be used to him or her! ❤️
I got a ball python from a local reptile rescue and she has grown a foot in the 4yrs I have had her. Very docile and has taken well to live feeding.She is not keen on frozen thawed food and the reason I got her so cheap was she was a problem feeder. When hungry she nails them in seconds. Lightning fast. I love snakes and always wanted a larger snake. She is about 4-1/2 feet now.
Rosy is “living in the moment”. I aspire to appreciate my existence like that. Well done for giving her the opportunity to live stress free in her golden years.
The average lifespan of a captive kept Boa Constrictor is 20-30 years. It's actually impressive that she lived as long and stayed as healthy as she did living in the trash conditions she was at the school. She could live another year or another decade, but it's great you've helped her this much and she's come this far. It was great meeting you at Repti-Con and I appreciate you giving my brother advice about his Savannah Monitor. He's told me that it's already showing signs of improvement. Your videos are awesome, keep up the great work!
Honestly, Rosie is one of the most beautiful boas i’ve ever seen. i love her pattern so much. she seems like a very sweet, gentle snake as well, which is amazing. gentle giants. keep doing your thing man!
She’s very beautiful and looked so healthy from the first day you got her. Her scales always seems bright so she must’ve been shedding okay even while living with room temperatures only. She is so comfortable with you. You’ve done a great job with your first big snake.
I rescued my lizard from outside he was starving and had an injury on his tail that was somewhat recent when I found him. I decided I’d try to take him outside and he lost his shit he did this for like a year I’d try every few months so I eventually stopped and then about a year after that I tried again and he seemed alright being outside. I think these animals for have memories of that shit cause he had like straight up ptsd when I brought him out there he was getting really puffed up and got a black beard had his mouth open ready to attack. I felt bad for him I think these animals can really remember all that shit that happened to them.
I commend you for taking her in. She looks amazing. She's come a long way. I had a reptile rescue when I lived in Virginia. I ended up being the go to for snakes mostly from our local animal control and game wardens. Most came from apartments where people were evicted or just left. Leaving their animals behind. Some still roaming free in bedrooms, no food, no water, literally some on the verge of death. Anyway, great job, you're definitely a natural for this hobby. You have an knack like old school keepers have. Same mentality. Keep being yourself and don't conform to today's so called enthusiast. Take advice etc., in stride. You're do a great job, and again, absolutely life saving decision you made. She's going to be here when you're an old guy, lol.
The Chaotic Phoenixx Just fyi, red tails are far harder care wise. Theyre more sensitive to care mistakes, more likely to regurge and they get larger. Bci would be better, theyre smaller and easier. Also! There are dwarf locals like tarahumara that max out about 5 feet. Crawl cay and cay caulker are other dwarf locals edit: Also! In case you’re in to morphs, bcc (red tails) and the bci locals dont have morphs. (Hogg islands have one but they were so mixed up that you’ll most likely never find a pure hogg morph) If it says “red tail hypo” it’s mislabled, cuz thats a bci, lol.
@@beapis5266 BCI and BCC are now considered completely separate species. They are now boa Imperator (BI) and boa Constrictor (BC). Honestly, both can be great starter snakes if you know what to expect in the future and are prepared for their current and eventual care needs. I have a boa and she is a big sweet heart ❤️ Honestly, my ball python has been more of a challenge than she has.
@@beapis5266 Ive never actually looked up care for a red tail, not in depth anyway, since i wont be getting one any time soon. But if a BCI would be a plesant Boa to have, i dont see why i couldnt get one istead. Red Tails just catch my attention with how pretty they are.
kiroro pupper Yeah! I know haha, I’ve been switching between using the old terminology and the new, I’ve been using bcc and bci because people seem to recognize it a bit more :> thank you!
@@phoenixx8963 also, most boas sold as "red tail boa" are a mutt boa. People usually cross breed the boa species for easier marketing. They can also look so similar to one another that it's almost impossible to be correct by simply a visual standpoint ESPECIALLY if it's a mixed boa. My advice would be to expect a boa that reaches 8ft but to be prepared for a boa that reaches 13.

I agree with you. Please keep,till the end.💜
What kind of a husband says, "it's me or the snakes?" What if she had prior kids? Woman chose a crap husband.
That’s so sweet. May I ask how you two are doing?
I feel so sorry for people that value themselves little enough to let a crappy partner make an ultimatum between them and the kids/pets

I love Rosie! The videos she’s in are usually my favorites lmao.
She is beautiful! And so sweet tempered! Awesome job.
I can’t get over how sensible and smart you are ♥️ love listening even though I only have a Bearded dragon 🐉
Honestly, Rosie is one of the most beautiful boas i’ve ever seen. i love her pattern so much. she seems like a very sweet, gentle snake as well, which is amazing. gentle giants. keep doing your thing man!
Herp: I don’t particularly know what to talk about
*makes a 15 minute video
🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️
She’s very beautiful and looked so healthy from the first day you got her. Her scales always seems bright so she must’ve been shedding okay even while living with room temperatures only. She is so comfortable with you. You’ve done a great job with your first big snake.
I rescued my lizard from outside he was starving and had an injury on his tail that was somewhat recent when I found him. I decided I’d try to take him outside and he lost his shit he did this for like a year I’d try every few months so I eventually stopped and then about a year after that I tried again and he seemed alright being outside. I think these animals for have memories of that shit cause he had like straight up ptsd when I brought him out there he was getting really puffed up and got a black beard had his mouth open ready to attack. I felt bad for him I think these animals can really remember all that shit that happened to them.
I am beyond happy for this sweet old lady Rosie to finally enjoy a warm, loving and clean home...🌹 And your cats shocked face is hilarious.
Man, she's amazing. Thank you for this video
War flash backs she spent 21 year in the war
I commend you for taking her in. She looks amazing. She's come a long way. I had a reptile rescue when I lived in Virginia. I ended up being the go to for snakes mostly from our local animal control and game wardens. Most came from apartments where people were evicted or just left. Leaving their animals behind. Some still roaming free in bedrooms, no food, no water, literally some on the verge of death. Anyway, great job, you're definitely a natural for this hobby. You have an knack like old school keepers have. Same mentality. Keep being yourself and don't conform to today's so called enthusiast. Take advice etc., in stride. You're do a great job, and again, absolutely life saving decision you made. She's going to be here when you're an old guy, lol.
Great job. It may have started a sad story but has a very happy ending. You can tell she's so happy. So cool.
Conspiring is the word you are looking for.💛 Thank you for caring for her.🤗
Rosie is an absolute chunk of a sweetheart twix bar. I love her. 10/10 would take care of.
Rosie is so beautiful! She must be so happy to be with you. I'm glad you rescued her.
12:20 the Cat is thinking 'WTF have you brought into this house?". Your cat is probably looking to feature in its own re-homing video.

she’s beautiful
Id love to get a Boa, especially a red tailed.
No way would I be allowed, my dad thinks 3ft is a massive snake.
The Chaotic Phoenixx Just fyi, red tails are far harder care wise. Theyre more sensitive to care mistakes, more likely to regurge and they get larger. Bci would be better, theyre smaller and easier. Also! There are dwarf locals like tarahumara that max out about 5 feet. Crawl cay and cay caulker are other dwarf locals
edit: Also! In case you’re in to morphs, bcc (red tails) and the bci locals dont have morphs. (Hogg islands have one but they were so mixed up that you’ll most likely never find a pure hogg morph) If it says “red tail hypo” it’s mislabled, cuz thats a bci, lol.
@@beapis5266 BCI and BCC are now considered completely separate species. They are now boa Imperator (BI) and boa Constrictor (BC). Honestly, both can be great starter snakes if you know what to expect in the future and are prepared for their current and eventual care needs. I have a boa and she is a big sweet heart ❤️ Honestly, my ball python has been more of a challenge than she has.
@@beapis5266 Ive never actually looked up care for a red tail, not in depth anyway, since i wont be getting one any time soon.
But if a BCI would be a plesant Boa to have, i dont see why i couldnt get one istead.
Red Tails just catch my attention with how pretty they are.
kiroro pupper Yeah! I know haha, I’ve been switching between using the old terminology and the new, I’ve been using bcc and bci because people seem to recognize it a bit more :> thank you!
@@phoenixx8963 also, most boas sold as "red tail boa" are a mutt boa. People usually cross breed the boa species for easier marketing. They can also look so similar to one another that it's almost impossible to be correct by simply a visual standpoint ESPECIALLY if it's a mixed boa. My advice would be to expect a boa that reaches 8ft but to be prepared for a boa that reaches 13.
Thank you for saving her. She is beautiful and sweet.
