Snakes in need of a new home!

Copied from 
paint's journal.
"Not my boa, but one of purraparru's Boa Constrictors is in need of a home! She lives in a home that has a daycare run out of it. One of the parents complained about ~*Dangerous
Constrictors*~ being on the premises, so the state is demanding she be rid of all her boids by Tuesday. She's willing to send him to you for the cost of shipping, which would be done through shipyourreptiles.com.
The boa is male, sold as 100% Albino in a pair with a 100% het female, but neither came with paperwork so don't bank all your hopes on him proving out. 2 or 3 years old, only a little larger than an adult female ball python. They do grow throughout their lives and he is not at his maximum possible size, so be prepared to have him grow larger. He is a BCI, not a BCC. I do not know if it is het for a particular strain of albino, you would have to ask purraparru. Feeding on frozen thawed, which is a blessing! If you're not aware what the things in this paragraph mean, you're probably not the right home for this kind of snake.
This is a feeding aggressive, moderately large growing constrictor. He also sometimes has a temper, making him tense. 99% of his aggression is food related, and he only tagged someone once. The tagged in question being someone who provoked the snake by poking him in the face when he was giving off clear warning signs, he is a readable snake and experienced handlers would likely have no problem with his edge at all. He needs to go to an EXPERIENCED HOME ONLY with someone who can respect and recognize these moods! They are super easy to deal with if you know what you are doing. I haven't handled the snake myself, but from the sounds of it bin feeding and hook training could very well stop any and all aggression quickly.
PLEASE BE AWARE OF YOUR LOCAL LAWS, AS KEEPING THIS SPECIES IS ILLEGAL IN SOME PLACES.
If you have the ability to take on a medium-small boa constrictor on short notice, please consider helping her out! I'm already helping her with a few snakes, but with a pair of burms, an amethystine, a large growing monitor, an iguana, and a boa of my own already in a one room apartment my space is pretty much gone. If you can't help but think you might be able to get the attention of someone who can, please spread the word! It would be a horrible tragedy if this innocent snake was to be taken and euthanized because people simply don't understand them! It doesn't deserve to die because of misinformation! The people who are wanting to take him call them RESTRICTOR snakes for fucks sake!
If you can help, please send purraparru a note right away to discuss! I'm going to go back to my break now, but I'll be keeping an eye on this. Help a snake lover out!"

My mother would scream seeing it crawl around xD
And got to love over-protective parentals... Same ones who nod meaningfully whenever Fox tells them a PS2 was found in the home of a murderer...
