Pictures: New home required for Barnaby the boa after 4-year stay with RSPCA Brighton

Barnaby the 5 foot typical boa has actually been at the centre for 4 years, considering that being generated throughout the summertime of 2019 with a warped jaw, due to extreme metabolic bone illness (MBD).

He’s been nursed back to complete health and isn’t impacted by this any longer after being taken care of properly.

An unique home is sought for this beautiful snake as he requires to go to somebody who has experience keeping boas.

Barnaby is among the 60,000 animals the RSPCA looks after each year and this is why the charity has actually introduced its Cancel Out Cruelty campaign, to raise funds to help its frontline rescue groups continue to save animals from cruelty and abuse and to raise awareness about how to stop cruelty to animals for good.

RSPCA Sussex North and Brighton branch supervisor Jenny Eden said: “We can’t believe sweet Barnaby has been with us for so long. He’s a big staff favourite and he really will be missed, but he definitely deserves a special new home with someone who can give him lots of space and spoil him like he deserves.

“He came to us on 15 June 2019 with the worst case of MBD we’ve ever seen. Thankfully with lots of love and the correct care, he’s been thriving and is now in great shape! We offer him slightly smaller meals more regularly but otherwise this does not affect him anymore.

“We haven’t actually sexed him ourselves, so there is every chance Barnaby is Bernadette!

“After nearly 1500 days with us we’d just love to see him go to a new home. If you think you can offer him one please get in touch.”
