new here looking for info
hello,
well i have breed and raised snakes before but i had to find them new homes due to personal issues. its been 3 years sense ive owned a snake and things have settled down. a friend of mine came to me because he has a friend who owns a boa whom is expceting. the new soon to be mom needs a new home because there kids wont leave the poor thing in peace to have her babys. i have a quite place for her and i cant turn a soon to be mom snake away from a safe home. however my specilty is cornsnakes and pythons. ive never have cared for a boa before and know they require great care. im here to find info as if i was a newbie on the boa. im ready to reserch and find the best ways to prepare and watch for in this momma. i have no idea what its currently being housed in if it has had check ups. so im going to have to triage it make sure were in no real danger. im also unsure of a vet that is expirenced in snakes in my area.. i live anaheim ca. so if anyone know a great vet in exotic animals i would be highly aprriciative with your help. my main worry sense this is a private owner is mites. are the treatments the same for a boa as for any other snake iv worked with? im looking for good resources on the snake as well basic caresheets bookes anything. thank you so much for your assitance.

Hello and welcome. 
If you're meaning a boa constrictor, they really aren't that hard to care for. Other than the space needed, my boa is no more difficult to take care of than my ball python. Maybe even less so, because I don't have to struggle with feeding issues. Now, a gravid boa may be a little more difficult to care for. Does the person you're getting her from already have homes for the babies? I imagine it's going to be difficult to find homes for the babies, and it may be a year or two before you can move them all out. They have a lot of babies, so you'll need lots of enclosures for the babies ahead of time. If she's close to expecting you'll need them immediately. I can't offer much more advice than that as I've never raised boas, but that's what I've seen of other people's experiences.
